Fuel TV is trying to pull off their first live webcast at this year’s WWA Wakeboard Worlds event (September 5-7).  They are claiming tons of preliminary content as well.  The whole webcast (which lasts through the weekend) promises to be over 24 hours long.  Fuel TV is trying to make it an interactive experience by allowing you to email the commentators (Nick and Dano) during the webcast.

The execution of the webcast should be interesting…  I’m not sure how exciting or fresh they can keep this thing.  For anyone that has been to a pro wakeboard event, there is a lot of downtime.  I guess only time will tell, regardless it sure beats waiting for their November 10th telecast.

Well, it’s been in the books for a while now, but Phillip Soven has officially been crowned WWA World Series Champion. Soven completed the task when he won Boardstock XII, being the first to ever sweep the whole series with 5 wins out of 5 events. I can’t recall such domination since someone went after Nancy Kerrigan’s knee over a decade ago [editor's note: distasteful---I know].
