The Axis Family Video

Axis Wake Research (@AxisWake) is rooted in wakes, performance and styling at a fair price. While Axis owners appreciate this list of attributes, the most important thing to most of them is having fun on the water. This latest video from the world's fastest growing wakeboard boat brand, gives life to that point. Sure, these families' A20s or A22s could go straight from their garage to a pro tournament, training session or photo shoot. But most Axis-owning families are more likely to be found tearing up the water at a local lake with a boatload of friends. That's what life's all about! The simplicity of the Axis design joined with professional-level performance and an accommodating interior makes it the perfect boat for families as much as pro riders like Randall Harris and Dean Smith. Just launch and go! No worries, just fun! The Tillers know what that's all about.

In this latest Axis Wake video you'll meet Betsy who's 8 years old, Ella who's 11, Todd and RT who is 77 years young. RT is the one shreddin' on the wakeskate. This is the Tiller family and as you will be able to see from the video, they enjoy their Axis. That's not because they are professional riders, but because they like being together and having a good time on the water. Also look for Courtney Painter, Wendy Warren and Phil Aslinger in "The Axis Family" video. Their the ones having fun. Oh wait, everybody is having fun. I guess they will be difficult to pick-out. Watch the video and see for yourself.

4th SA Pro Tour Stop

Axis Wake Research (@Axiswake) in association with the 4th SA Pro Tour Stop.

Cape Town is known for hosting a great event and this year was no exception with the 4th SA Pro Tour Stop being held at the Milnerton Aquatic Club on the 2nd and 3rd of April 2011 in association with Billabong, Sport Unlimited, Axis Wake Research and Liquid Force.

The competition started on Friday with registration and official practice. A total of 48 riders entered in the event. Open Men Wakeboard and Wakeskate had the most competitors prompting the organizers to create a new division for this contest, “Novice Wakeskate”.

Extreme Boating’s Axis A22 Wake Boat was then loaded; the ‘wedge’ deployed and was ready to produce that perfect wake as the Wakeboarders took to the water. The Junior Men division saw some new entrants from the Cable who showed that they could also pull their weight behind the boat. The Open Men’s division would see two local favorites, tour leader Craig Eygenberger and Dean Engela hot on the heels of Gauteng rider Kevin Goosen going into the Sunday finals. In the ladies and pro men’s qualifier it was Gina Faccio and Dylan Mitchell who secured the top seed going into Sunday’s Finals with some solid riding in the choppy waters.

Axis A22 Wins Award Down Under

The Axis Wake (@AxisWake) A22 wakeboard boat was honored with the 2011 Imported Ski Boat Award from WA Marine in Australia. This photo features Lou Sloot from Axis Wake Dealer Bonney's Park Ski Shop accepting the coveted award.

Designed to showcase the best marine product on offer in the Australian state of Western Australia. This is why the award entitled "Import" because the Axis Wake Research of Australia builds boats in the state of Victoria.

WA Marine wrote this about the 2011 award. "The Imported Ski Boat winner for 2011is no surprise to any enthusiasts. The Axis A22is a beautifully finished boat which is suitable for the whole family. The unique bow design has overcome the problem of water over the bow, so often experienced in ski boats and the accessories such as a wetsuit warming tray and great storage, make it a very competitive vessel amongst its peers. With a fully adjustable helm chair, substantial stowage, good ballasting and easy engine access this is a deserved winner. Sean Reid Managing Director of the Breakwater to present the award to Lou Sloot from Bonney’s Park Ski Shop."

The WA Marine Awards are organised by the Boating Industry Association of Western Australia with sponsorship from the Department of Commerce. Each of the individual category awards are sponsored by interested agencies or business from within and outside the marine industry. The awards have been in place for the past five years and are designed to showcase the best marine product on offer in the state.

Congratulations to Bonney's Park Ski Shop and Axis Wake Research Australia!

Axis USA & Australia Team Up to Sign Wakeboarder Dean Smith

Axis Wake Research (@AxisWake) welcomes the free-riding, massive air professional Australian wakeboarder Dean Smith (@DeanwSmith) to the team. Check out the video Alliance Wake Magazine put together of Dean shreddin behind the A22.

Axis Wake Research in the USA and Australia are welcoming Dean Smith to their Factory Pro Team because just like Axis wake boats, he is all about charging hard and doing it with style. Smith wanted a boat that would allow him to take his “go big or go home,” attitude into every riding session as well as every competition. It’s this approach that earned the Australian Pro the 2010 WWA Men’s Wakeboard World Championship title. A fun, unassuming guy, Smith has the heart of a lion and conducts himself with true professionalism. Together with his massive tricks and free-riding style, Smith’s character makes him a perfect fit for Axis Wake Research. Smith rides and lives each day to the fullest and that’s how these boats perform; like today is your best day on the water. Axis is proud to call Deano, as he is affectionately known, a member of the family.

When asked about his new team, this is how Smith responded, "I couldn't be happier on joining the Axis team! It is a company that shares that same passion about wakeboarding as I do, and is moving in a positive direction in the process.” Smith continued, “Having Randall and Keith as team mates is also a huge factor for me. Having 2 of the most innovative riders in world on the same team is a huge honor, and will only push me with my own riding. I'm looking forward to the 2011 season!”

On the pro wakeboard scene since 2004, Smith is no stranger to the podium. He has inflicted years of domination on the Australian Pro Wakeboard Tour. In 2010 he won the hearts of wake fans around the world by becoming the WWA Men’s Wakeboard World Champ. This underdog’s success is proof that if you want it bad enough and train hard enough victory is always within reach.

“I have so much respect for Dean’s riding, versatility and professionalism,” says David Thorpe, National Marketing Manager of Axis Wake Research Australia.

Smith is the first native Australian to earn the title of Wakeboard World Champ. He was born in Sydney in 1984 and still lives there for half of the year. He splits time between his birth place and Orlando, FL wakeboarding as much as he can on both sides of the globe. Together Axis Wake Research USA and Australia are keeping Smith in an Axis wakeboard boat whether he is Stateside or Down Under. This way Smith’s rigorous training schedule can remain just as intense no matter his location.

“Sticking to the Axis roots for pro athlete consideration, it is such a logical fit. Just like our boats, the rider’s attitude, style, and skill level must find balance. Deano has that,” explained Adam McCall, Managing Director for Axis Wake Research. “We at Axis look forward to working with Dean and seeing mutual benefit to the brand and to his riding career.”

Cote Wins with Axis in the Octagon

Axis Wake (@AxisWake) A22 wakeboard boat owner and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter, Patrick Cote (@Patrick_Cote) defeated Kalib Starnes by decision Saturday, April 9, 2011 in the main event at Ringside 10 to capture his first mixed martial arts victory in three years.

The Montreal fighter, who last won in 2008, bounced back after losing the first round to take rounds two and three with a series of punches and kicks.

"It felt great to win. I have not won in a while and I almost forgot what it felt like to win," Cote said. "It's been three years since I felt that winning feeling."

After standing up for much of the fight, Cote went to the canvas in the third round and sealed the decision against Starnes, of Surrey, B.C., before the crowd at the Bell Centre. Reposted from TSN.ca.

Axis A22 Footage from Wake Ride 2010

Wake Ride 2010 Saskatoon Contest from Sean Kilgus on Vimeo.

Axis Wake Research (@AxisWake) was tearin-up the water at WakeRide 2010 in Saskatchewan last summer. Axis Wake Dealer Saskatoon Watersports provided the A22 Axis Wake boats and the pros provided the aerial stylin'. Check out this video shot and edited by Sean Kilgus of BFY Productions.

"Last summer I was invited to cover an event that Rusty Malinoski and Mike Napper from Backside Boardshop put on. Super cool event! Going back next year for sure!" Sean Kilgus Videographer

WakeRide 2010 was a professional wakeboard competition and music festival that took place on the beautiful riverbanks of the South Saskatchewan River. This action packed weekend had something for everyone. Rotary Park, River Landing, and Friendship Park hosted a variety of activities throughout the weekend as well as the best vantage point to see the world-class Wakeboarding competition.

WakeRide is committed to providing an event which reaches all demographics. It aims to inspire children to believe anything is possible and to get involved in organized sports.

Every dollar raised from the event went to support Saskatoon inner city youth programs. In 2009, WakeRide raised $60,000 for local youth programs including KidSport and White Buffalo Youth Lodge.

Axis on South African Pro Tour Podium

Axis Wake (@AxisWake) Recon and Team Liquid Sports Rider Sean O'Brien took home gold at the South African Pro Tour. And in doing so Sean put Axis Wake Research in the top spot on the podium for the first time in 2011. This Orlando wakeboarding instructor turned pro competitor has broken the ice for Axis Wake riders in 2011. Now it's on!

Here's what Sean emailed us about his victory.

"The Americans took 1st and 2nd, but it was an incredibly tight final that could have gone any way. The run that I put together was harder than any contest run that I have ever done and somehow I managed to stand up (which never happens). Palma rode right before me and put the pressure on. He killed it and really pumped me up for my ride. In the end, I managed to pull ahead by 0.5 points for the win. Morgan ended up coming in 3rd just behind us. It was one of the best finals that I have ever seen. There are some riders here that are insanely talented and I'm excited to be working with them for another 3 weeks."

Congratulations on the win, Sean and good luck with the rest of your trip! See you soon!

A Single Day Video on WakeWorld.com

Axis Wake Research (@AxisWake) Georgia Dealer, Singleton Marine Group is getting a lot of attention for A Single Day. Check out the write-up and the video on WakeWorld.com.

A Single Day, produced by Remedy Films, is exactly what the title says it is, a single day filled with wakeboarding, tight schedules, shooting, helicopter jumps, near death experiences, stitches and, most importantly, FUN!

Singleton Marine Group, the Malibu Boats and Axis Wake Research dealer in Buford, Georgia supported possibly the greatest effort for grassroots wakeboarding in the state of Georgia to date. SMG got their team riders together from both Alabama and Georgia to make a day of what wakeboarding once was and should always be; a day filled with face-shredding and hanging out on the lake.
