It looks like Reef and Boardstop have teamed up and given wakeskating.com 6 pairs of Byerly III wakeskate shoes. Apparently they are giving these shoes away on a weekly basis by challenging your intelect by doing some trivia on the legend. So, if you don’t know what the Byerly “Hook” is, you should just give-up now, but for those of you that are informed, you might want to check out the details of the contest HERE.

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.

It’s great to see industry figures in something other than than their wakeboard attire every once in a while.

Same ole’ booth, tons of new product. Despite impressing patrons with a flashy new booth Hyperlite decided to stick with the same booth from last year and relied on impressing them with three new board series and completely redesigned bindings for the 2007 surf expo.
