Wakeboaring on the East Coast

Wake boarding is the fastest growing water sport working its way around the east coast. Wake boarding on the east coast is much more different than wake boarding on any other inland lake. Imagine Wake boarding on one of the great lakes bug hitting waves the height of a pick up truck at minimum. People travel all the way to the east coast to from the inner states of the US to hit a once in a lifetime wake on the salt life. Below are a few pics of people wake boarding on the east coast.

Here is an article oabot the soven brothers competing in Orlando from www.orlandosentinel.com.

 

"Brothers Phillip and Bob Soven of Longwood won quarterfinal heats in wakeboarding Saturday at the sixth annual Air Nautique Wake Games at the Orlando Watersports Complex. Phillip Soven scored a 78.33 in the 10th and final heat. That was the third-highest score overall in that category behind Trevor Hansen of Groveland and Harley Clifford of Australia, both of whom registered an 80. "It's a little bit of a home-field advantage, but once you get out on the water, no matter where you are, you have to focus on the task at hand," said Soven, ranked No. 1 in the sport."
