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.
