After eight years, you have to be expecting this post by now! We are gathering wake goodies for our 9th Annual WakeWorld Toys For Tots Auctions. We've raised over $56,000 in past years and we're looking to add to that total with your help.
WakeWorld will again be running online Ebay auctions of donated items from companies and individuals in order to generate money to buy toys for underprivileged kids that otherwise may not be getting any gifts this holiday season. 100% Of the profits from these auctions will go to Toys for Tots.
We need you to get the word out to your favorite wake shops and wake companies so that they'll donate some goodies to the cause. If you or your company are interested in donating something, hit me up at
gobig@wakeworld.com.
Since we've announced it, we've been overwhelmed with the response, especially from pro riders. Just look at the thousands of dollars of donations that have already been committed to the cause...

Here's a pic of the Hyperlite Shift 136. It's the same specs as a 2012 Hyperlite Marek, but it has a sintered grind base. It was a special edition for the European market and was not available in the U.S.
