Reno, Nev. - Fans packed the shores of Sparks Marina today to catch the final runs of the world's top riders, as the 2008 MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour season came to a close. Among the world's best were Phillip Soven and Nicola Butler, who both were looking to end the season unbeaten in their respective division, a feat never before accomplished in the Tour's 17-year history.

In the Pro Men division finals, two-time wakeboard world champion Andrew Adkison, former rookie of the year Aaron Rathy and world record-holder JD Webb were all looking to leave Phillip Soven in their wake and ruin his perfect season.

But the current Tour champ didn't let the other three finalists get in his way, as Soven took the top spot in today's contest, posting a near perfect score of 96.50; nearly a 12-point differential from his next closest competitor. Soven now stands as the only rider ever to go undefeated on the MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour. Webb, Rathy and Adkison rounded out the finals, respectively.

With Today's win, Soven sits at the top of the Indmar Performance Standings with a perfect score of 500 points, claiming his second consecutive Tour title and the Indmar Performance Award, a $10,000 bonus. JD Webb and Rusty Malinoski took second and third-place overall, respectively.

One of the biggest upsets in the Tour's 17-year history took place today, as two-time wakeboard world champion Emily Copeland Durham, 24, of Denver, Colo. took down the previously undefeated Nicola Butler, 16, a native of Cape Town, South Africa, who was on the verge of making action-sports history, as the first rider ever to go unbeaten on the MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour.

The upset was a true heartbreaker, as Copeland Durham beat out Butler for the top spot in today's contest by a .25 differential to end Butler's run at a perfect season. Today's win marks Copeland Durham's first victory of the 2008 season and her third Tour stop title in Reno.
Although Butler didn't win in Reno today, her second-place finish did, however, earn her enough points in the Indmar Performance Standings to capture her first-ever overall Tour title and the 2008 Indmar Performance Award, a $5,000 bonus. Current wakeboard world champion Amber Wing and Copeland Durham finished in second and third-place overall, respectively.

Butler will also go down in history as the second-youngest female rider, at 16, to win the overall Tour title. Ironically, Emily Copeland Durham, along with Tara Hamilton hold the record as the youngest Tour titlists, at 15.

Nicola Butler not only took home the Tour title in Reno today, but she also claimed the MONA VIE Best Trick Award. The award is a $250 bonus for the female rider landing the most impressive trick of the contest, a boardside 270 off of the Rockstar Energy Drink Rooftop rail.
Aaron Rathy may not have won in Reno today, but the 2006 Rookie of the Year managed to ride away with some extra cash thanks to Rockstar Energy Drink. Rathy was named the winner of the Rockstar Energy Drink Best Trick Award, a $1,000 cash bonus for landing the most impressive trick of the contest, a mute 360 off the double-up.

Four of wakeboarding's future superstars took to the water today in the Jr. Men's Division finals, where Jimmy LaRiche ((USA) - ), Harley Clifford (AUS), Ryan King ((USA) - ) and Jarrod Askew (AUS) all vied for the top spot in the contest and looked to claim some last-minute points toward the Tour title.

After a heated battle on the water, Jimmy LaRiche emerged as the winner of the final Tour stop of 2008, followed by Clifford, King and Askew, respectively. Today's win earned LaRiche enough points to claim the overall title in the Jr. Men's Division, his first, and the Indmar Performance Award, a $1,000 bonus. Clifford and Robert Soven took second and third-place overall, respectively. Reno marks LaRiche's fourth win on Tour this season.

Four-Time X Games Champ Gambles on aWin in Reno Coming Off of Injury

Date: 7/11/08Author: WSM Press Release

Reno, Nev. - One of the biggest stories to come out of the waters of Sparks Marina today at the MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour was the return of four-time X Games gold-medalist Danny Harf, after he had suffered a massive hip injury earlier this year.

Harf, 23, a native of Visalia, Calif. has been out all season with a herniated disk in his lower spine, preventing the former rookie of the year from competing at the Tour's previous four stops. The hip injury took place at the infamous Billabong Bus Wall Ride photo shoot, when the 2006 Tour champion rode off the wall of a tour bus and brutally landed on the ground.

"My body felt all twisted up, I couldn't even bend over to tie my shoes," said Harf. "The doctor told me not to take any hard hits on the water for while, but I'm back now and ready to ride."
After a three-month recovery period, Danny Harf entered his first contest of the year as a wildcard in today's Pro Men division qualifying round. Harf made an impact on the water today, as he led his heat of six with a near perfect score of 98 points, an 18.5-point differential from his next closest competitor, Aaron Rathy. The two-time wakeboard U.S. national champion will advance onto tomorrow's Pro Men Round of 30 and ultimately look to win the contest at Sparks Marina.

Harf took the top spot in Reno in 2006, when the MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour was last held here.

Also in the Pro Men division, the undefeated Phillip Soven ripped through his heat of five to advance past the opening-round. Soven, 19, of Longwood, Fla., has won all four previous Tour stops this year and will look to claim the first-ever unbeaten season with a win this weekend in Reno.

Wakeboarding's future stars, ages 14-18, took to the water today for the Jr. Men's Division quarterfinals, where 20 of the top amateur riders in the world competed in five heats of four. Only the top-two riders from each heat advanced onto tomorrow's semifinals, sending half the competition home packing.

Among the 10 Jr. riders advancing past the opening-round today was Jimmy LaRiche (Boca Raton, Fla.) who led his heat today with a perfect score of 100 points.

The event will continue tomorrow, Saturday, July 12 from 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. and conclude on Sunday, July 13 from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at Sparks Marina on July 12-13 for $10 (general admission), $5 (ages 6-12) or free (ages 5 and under).

The MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour is a three-day carnival of water-sports action. But not all of the action takes place on the water. On land, fans will experience tons of great food and music; athlete autograph signings; chances to win free giveaways; and shopping at the most cutting-edge stores for water-sports equipment including boats, wakeboards, wakeskates, sunglasses and the latest in wakeboarding and surfing fashions.
