National Safe Boating Week: Wakeboard Lifejackets

Post by Wakeboarding Magazine

You can’t ride without a board and boots, and it’s tough to get towed without a rope and handle, but a wakeboard life jacket is probably a rider’s most vital piece of gear. After all, life jackets are exactly what their name implies: your lifeline when the unexpected happens on the water. As a result, making sure you buy and wear a properly fitted life jacket could actually save your life. Here are five rules to follow when shopping for the best life jacket for you.

Dominic Lagace: Island Adventures

Post By TeamTige Wakesurfer Dominic Lagace

Lombok is an island in West Nusa Tenggara Province of Indonesia. It’s one of the closest islands to Bali and the flights were so cheap that we couldn’t skip out.  We booked our flight for only $20 and took half and hour to arrive at the new International Airport at Praia Lombok. Flying in we saw little lovely islands, volcanos, rice fields, and a very green Lombok. The view from the sky was more than awesome.

Wakeboard Tips For Your Boat: Tow Speed

Post by Greg Young with Northwest Riders (original post on the Evo Blog)

In my 9+ years of teaching wakeboard lessons, one of the most common questions I seem to get from clients has nothing to do with how to land a certain trick, but rather how to properly set up their boat for wakeboarding or wakesurfing in the first place.The question of how to “set up” your boat properly takes several factors into account: towing speed, rope length, and weighting your boat. I hope to answer all your questions with these wakesurfing and wakeboard boat tips.

Chris Kinsey: The Build of a Lifetime

Post by TeamTige Wakesurfer Chris Kinsey

Within the next week, I will find myself a proud new owner of a 2013 Tige Z3. I find myself surrounded by mixed emotions upon the arrival—emotions of anxiousness, enthusiasm, bewilderment, and happiness are luminously suspending themselves over my head and holding my mind captive. Never did I think that I would become a professional wakesurfer belonging to the TeamTige Global Wakesurf Team.
