Those SAN 220 and 230 throw a super nice surf wake with only stock and a couple people.

Beautiful water and backdrop! Great vid.

The groms are tearing it up! The wave looked a little small to me but it could just be that beautiful water! Those guys all looked pretty good!

Very cool vid, beautiful scenery and water. The water is sooooooo blue and those mountains in the back. Very nice.

That 720 was way cool also. That's gonna be my next trick

wonder what the water temp was?

Looks like the French know how to throw a wakesurf event.

Notice they don't wear life jackets.

They were wearing comp vests under the jersey. Some may not have been, but most I saw were def wearing comp vests.

We need to follow the lead on the French and show off our wake surf events like that.

Shoot - did they have live web cams at their event? I think ragboy and surfdad are doing their parts to make the events as cool as possible!

[ragboy]

At the events I have been too, they treat video as a second class citizen mostly. But at this last one, I broadcast to the shore, and webcast it, and it made a big enough splash, that I don't think it will take a back seat anymore. People are realizing, you must watch from inside the boat, and the way to appeal to sponsors is to reach as many people as possible. You will see much more next year.

No they did not and Ragboy has them beat for sure on this end.:

I am certain that you will surpass what they are doing and they may be calling you next year asking for you to do the same for there event.
