Just last weekend, Parks Bonifay again competed at The Projects on a recently-repaired knee to try to defend his belt a second time. The all-rail competition known as The Carnival, hosted by Pat Panakos brought out all the top rail riders in wakeboarding.

This year’s Carnival had many new rails in addition to all the obstacles from last year. Riders had a wide variety of lines to choose while riding, making the contest even better for the spectators. Shawn Watson used all of the rails to put together some solid runs in each round, making it to the championship bout against defending champion Parks Bonifay. Each rider rode well in the final, and Watson ended up coming out on top showing some great style and control on the rails.

Watson joins Parks Bonifay and Scott Byerly as only the third person to win the championship belt of The Carnival.

On Friday, October 19th the AST Dew Tour Wakeboard Rail Jam made its appearance on the backside parking lot of the Amway Arena (Home of the Magic) in Orlando, Florida. Squeezed in between FMX, BMX Dirt and Skateboard Vert were two very large portable pools making up a step down miniature rail park for ten professional wakeboarders to exploit their skills to a very curious crowd.
