The South Florida Wakeboarding Association (SFWA) is excited to announce the "Pros and Joes" wakeboarding/wakeskating event to be held on November 17, 2007 at Okeeheelee Park located in Palm Beach County at 7715 Forest Hill Blvd, West Palm Beach, FL 33413. Description of the Wake Event The event is a unique concept in the world of competitive wakeboarding. As of right now, we have a commitment for participation from nine (9) professional riders (names include Scott Byerly, Ben Greenwood, Aaron Reed, Keith Lyman, Shawn Watson) some of which are wakeboarders, some of which are wakeskaters. For each pro rider there will be three local amateurs allowed into the tournament. So as of right now there will be twenty seven (27) local riders plus ten (9) professional riders giving a total of thirty six (36) riders. At the beginning of the day (approximately 9:00am) the pro riders will select two amateur riders at random, this will be the pro riders "team". The teams will compete behind the boats against each other through out the day with a winning team emerging at the end of the day. There will be judges and a tournament MC hosting the event and describing the tricks to the masses. Again, it will give amateur riders the opportunity to do something they may never get another chance to do-ride with the professionals. Event Overview The event is designed to give amateur riders in South Florida the opportunity to not only meet pro-level wakeboarders and wakeskaters but to ride with them as well. It is also a "coming out" event so to speak that will be the first step in making Palm Beach County relevant in wake related sports. The SFWA is dedicated to this purpose and our intention is to make this a family event that will attract both the hard core wake enthusiast and the casual observer. It will be an all day event starting at 10:00am and lasting until roughly 6:00pm. The SFWA members will man the event with our membership of approximately 100 people.
