Fort Worth, TX - The only heat thousands of wakeboarding fans were excited about on a sweltering summer day at the MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour stop in Fort Worth was today's Pro Men's Division final heat of four at Texas MasterCraft.

JD Webb (USA), Rusty Malinoski (CAN), Andrew Adkison (USA) and Phillip Soven (USA) battled it out on the waters of Lake Moser to see which rider would claim the top spot in Fort Worth. All four rippers put up some exciting runs, but in the end, reigning Tour champion Phillip Soven took home the win. Adkison and Malinoski rounded out the podium respectively.

"It was really tough out there today, but I pulled it off and came out with the win," said Soven.

"I've been riding well and I am feeling pretty confident going into the next Tour stop."

Although JD Webb didn't win in Fort Worth today, the 2004 Rookie of the Year did pick-up some extra cash thanks to Rockstar Energy Drink. Webb was named the winner of the Rockstar Best Trick Award, a $1,000 cash bonus for landing the most impressive trick of the contest, a 270 tailpress to 90 out off of the Billabong Rooftop.

The world's top female rippers took to the water today for the first-ever Pro Women's division finals in Fort Worth. Hayley Smith (AUS), Shelby Kantar (USA), Nicola Butler (UK), Emily Copeland Durham (USA), Amber Wing (AUS) and Dallas Friday (USA) fielded the final heat of the contest.

Looking for the win, all six female finalists held nothing back in their runs, but in the end, 2008 Wake Games champion Nicola Butler claimed the top spot. Friday and Copeland Durham rounded out the top-three respectively.

Nicola Butler's success continued in Fort Worth today, as the second-year pro ripper 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, backboard to backlip over the Billabong Rooftop.

With wins in Acowrth, Ga. and now Fort Worth, Phillip Soven and Nicola Butler have a commanding lead in the Tour's Indmar Performance Standings.

The final four riders in the Jr. Men's Division hit the water today for their final round at the Fort Worth contest. Harley Clifford (AUS), Robert Soven (USA), Nick Davies (UK) and Jimmy LaRiche (USA) battled it out for the top spot, but in the end it was LaRiche who took the title home. Clifford and Soven rounded out the podium respectively.

Fort Worth was the second of five stops on the 2008 MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour. Following Fort Worth, the Tour will visit Twin Cities, Minn. (June 7-8), Phoenix, Ariz. (June 28-29) and wrap-up in Reno, Nev. (July 11-13).

The MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour is a season-long points chase toward the tour title and the Indmar Performance Award, a $10,000 cash bonus to the top points earner in the Pro Men's Division and a $5,000 prize for the Pro Women's Division winner.

Danny Harf has been in the pro wakeboard ranks for nine years now and is the only wakeboarder to ever hit a 1080 from two different directions, switch toeside and switch heelside. Other huge accomplishments include being named rookie of the year in 2002, winning the US Masters three times, winning the X-Games four times and being one of the original founders of Ronix Wakeboards. In fact, the name Ronix was inspired by Danny and Chad Sharpe.

Emily Copeland-Durham came to Princeton last year and was part of our first Ronix Demo Day. Not only is she one of the sweetest girls you will ever meet, she can tear it up on a wakeboard! Throughout her ten year pro career, she has won the US Open once, the Vans Triple Crown Once, the US Masters three times, the WWA World Championships two times, the Gravity Games two times and the X-Games once. She is known as the First Lady of Ronix, and her personality and riding tell us why.

There is no need to bring your board. Just have your Coast Guard Approved vest and get ready to join in the fun! We will have the complete line of Ronix Wakeboards available for you to demo, and there will be a 2008 Supra Launch 21V in the water ready to take you for a ride!

Come and ride! Come and hang out! Come and meet Danny and Emily! Just make sure you come out and have a good time!

The boat will leave from the dock immediately on the hour and will be on the water for approximately 45-55 minutes. We highly suggest arriving one hour before your scheduled ride so you have plenty of time to check out the new boards and bindings and we can fit you for the appropriate size.

Danny and Emily will be hanging out and helping you get fitted, answering any questions you may have, signing autographs and giving you all of the wakeboarding pointers you may need!

There will be plenty of goodies available, including the complete line of Ronix Boards, Bindings, Ropes and Handles!

This demo day is completely free, so we ask you to please be considerate of other riders when reserving your spot. If you have to cancel, please let me know as soon as possible so that we can get someone else scheduled in your place.

To reserve your spot, please e-mail me at Marty@waterskiboatsdallas.com with "Ronix Demo” in the subject line. There will be 4 riders per session (per hour). The boat will run from 10 – 4, meaning that the last session available is at 3pm. When you e-mail your reservation, please let me know which hour would work best for you, and then give me an alternate hour just incase your first choice is booked. I only have 24 spots open, so please book yours as soon as possible!For any other questions, please e-mail me at Marty@waterskiboatsdallas.com or call me directly at 972.221.3705.

The schedule is now completely full, but if you would like to sign up as an alternate, please follow the directions listed above including which hour you would like and I will put you down. That way if someone cannot make it at that specific hour, you will be there to take the spot! You are also more than welcome to come and hang out if you would like. It is a cool, relaxing atmosphere and you will have plenty of time to chat with Danny and Emily!

Acworth, Ga. – Over the past three days, the world's top pro wakeboarders battled it out on the waters of Dallas Landing Park in Acworth, GA to compete for the first win the 2008 MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour season.

Webb, Malinoski and Errington rounded out the competition respectively.

However, in the end Copeland Durham only manage to finish third, as Nicola Butler (UK) took the top spot, followed by Amber Wing (AUS).

Today's win marks Butler's first-ever MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour victory and her second consecutive win in the Queen of Wake series.

The Carnival Results

Orlando, Fla. Wakeboarding's most prestigious rail contest wrapped up today at The Projects outside of Orlando, Florida as five riders battled head-to-head for the title.

The Sea-Doo Wake Edition PWC delivered consistent pulls all day while Fox and Red Bull kept the party flowing with food, drinks, clowns, girls and DJ Ken Sherry. Shawn Watson, who had been riding strong all weekend, won his round against Kevin Henshaw and Aaron Rathy won a close match with Keith Lidberg.

Watson continued his streak against Rathy and faced returning champ Parks Bonifay for the final round. Dano the Mano set the stage for what has become Wakeboarding's Heavyweight title showdown. Watson again rode solid, landing a switch toeside 270 to back lip / 270 off the Fox Transfer (angle wall) and a nose press across the entire Hyperlite A-Frame. Bonifay had a respectable showing with several hammers, however Watson pulled a higher score. Tony Smith, who judged the event commented on Watson's mastery of the entire course. "Watson has a solid, consistent run with a lot of variety."

Watson joins an elite group of rail masters only Bonifay and Scott Byerly have had ownership of the belt previously. "It's an honor to win the belt. It's not even about the money," Watson said. "Endurance plays a big factor. The course is set up so well and it wears you down. The Carnival is a great event and Pat Panakos does a great job building the course. You definitely have to have a good strategy to be successful. It was great to see Parks ride well. I know what it's like to go through a knee injury and it was cool to see him pushing it and throwing hammers."

The Carnival is made possible by the support of Fox Riders Co., Red Bull, Sea-Doo, Hyperlite and Alliance Multimedia.

Roofing has Begun

The Service Department now has a roof! The guys are still working on the showroom and getting to raise the tower. The tower is laying down in the middle of the foundation in these pictures. Hopefully it will be installed tomorrow!
