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.

We were just tipped off that the guys behind BoardersMall.com, just released a new site BoardersBestBuy.com. Apparently the site is supposed to have a “smokin” [hey, they said it, not us] new deal every day, or until quantities run out on their smokin item.

Currently on the hot plate is the Liquid Force Watson 138 wakeboard. We hear this board is a smokin good time [sorry, couldn't resist]. Anyways, we’ll keep you up to date with all of the steaming [see we can improvise] deals over there at BoardersBestBuy.

[PLEASE NOTE: The Watson 138 wakeboard sale is over. They are now featuring a different product]
