Surf Expo wasn’t the only thing going on this past weekend. WakeBoarding Magazine’s 4th annual Wake Awards took place this past Friday immediately following the first day of Surf Expo at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL.

The event started off with some industry recognition awards like Manufacturer of the Year and Retailer of the Year before moving on to the main 13 awards known as The Wake Awards.

Rusty Malinoski and Brian Grubb took the top spots as Best Wakeboarder and Best Wakeskater. Move of the Year was no big surprise with Chad Sharpe taking it with his sick Double Indy Toeside Back Roll. Best Women’s Rider put Amber Wing on top once again, adding another accolade to add to her impressive resume.

The ShareWake BETA [externallink] has finally launched. For those of you not geeky enough to know, BETA means that we are currently in an almost finalized ‘test’ mode. Since the website is community based and driven, it is hard to make all of the final refinements until people start populating the website.

So what is ShareWake? Well, it is basically just like YouTube [externallink]. ShareWake is a place for you (or anyone) to post their videos, and view other people’s videos. The site is designed to be “wake-related”. In other words, the site was designed to be a source for people to put their wake-related videos. But that’s just the beginning.

We will be providing a lot of exclusive content from riding clips to news stories and even some event coverage. The ShareWake site will go hand in hand with our DailyWake site as well. This fusion of the two sites will be even more apparent when we cover both the 2007 Surf Expo and Wake Awards this September. We will cover these events with both our DailyWake and ShareWake websites. With the birth of ShareWake, we should be able to take our news coverage to the next level.

Stay tuned for more details.
