Endless Wave wakesurf tour

[wolfeman131]

Its exciting to see we have this second event coming out. Please understand though, this is not concidered a Ranked Pro tour.

This is a Demo board and boat tour just like the Polar event.

No, it's not. It's a manufacturer-specific series of wakesurf competitions. In boxing terms, it's the IBF to the WBF.

These events will be run under the same scoring criteria as the CWSA events, have the same competitor classes, points will be awarded during the course of the series and winners will be awarded prizes at each event and at the conclusion of the tour. Nothing like the Polar Bear which is a "come out and have some fun demo'ing stuff and camp in Robert's backyard" weekend. Definately a great event, but not a competition.

BTW - team riders are not given boats. Maybe the top wakeboarding riders have earned that from some manufacturers, but it hasn't reached that level even with the top surfers. Discounts, free boat options, etc. might be had but no free boats. And, riders are required to meet certain obligations such as attending events, boat shows, dealer events, demo events, etc. Team riders, fancy pamphlets, etc. are all marketing and is what helps set the Big 3 ahead of the pack. Companies can either choose to work to stay at the head of the pack or enjoy the view of the big dog's rear end.
