Orlando, Fla. – In the realm of professional wakeboarding, it may only be the fourth time in history the King of Wake series has crowned a winner for the world’s most elite pro wakeboarding circuit, but for the first time the king is sharing the throne with a female counterpart, the Queen of Wake.

Since its inception in 2005, the King of Wake series has made waves on the water, establishing itself as the most prestigious pro wakeboarding circuit in the world, bringing together the sport’s top events into one ultimate season-long points chase. The King of Wake has proven to be so influential within the sport that in just three years after its inauguration, the mirrored female version, the Queen of Wake series, was created.

Orlando, Fla. – For nearly two decades, female wakeboarders have taken a back seat to men in professional contests, with women’s wakeboarding featured in only a handful of events. But in 2008, female riders will finally have a series to call their own: World Sports & Marketing announced today the new professional women’s wakeboarding series, the Queen of Wake.

“Every year we see an increase in participation by pro female riders, and some of these girls are taking wakeboarding to new levels, pushing the sport to new limits,” said chief judge Chris Bischoff. “We are stoked about featuring pro women’s wakeboarding in their own series because it showcases their incredible athletic abilities and gives women another avenue toward a career in professional sports.”

Raequel Hoffman became the second womens wakeboarder to stomp a 720 while riding on the Delta in California. She now joins Amber Wing as the only two female riders to land two full handle pass rotations on a wakeboard. Wing has been landing Toeside Frontside Off Axis 720’s now since late in 2006 which I’m sure has put some pressure on her competitors. Hoffman stepped up to the challenge and now joins her in landing the same trick.

“It feels so awesome to be the second girl ever to land a 720. I feel like women are doing a lot right now to progress the women’s side of the sport and I’m really glad to be a part of it,” says Hoffman.

Raequel competes on the Pro Wakeboard Tour and finished the season in the top ten. Who will be next to join these two riders or does this start the race to the 900 for the women?
