If so what channels air them? And where to find a schedule?

The Outdoor Life Network (OLN) sometimes has Kickin It (or something along that line) where they focus on different pro boarders. They also show some competitions now and then.....you'll have to check to see if your cable gets it.

College sports network had a small 15min slice of the Collegate Nationals in Reno, NV. The riding was good but not much coverage. I was bummed that Sac. State did not win.

Coming from a shop owner I would say no. Wakeboard sales have gone up every year for the last 4 yrs quite a bit for my shop. Its growing and not losing steam at all here in Texas.

They should rename Fuel tv to snowboard tv. Thats all I ever see on that channel.

True... But I've seen plenty of wakeboarding too. But you are right, they do air a lot of snowboarding...

I think it's more like Surf TV. That's all I seem to catch when I watch fuel. And skating is a close second. But it does seem to change depending on the seasons.

But Wakeboarding does get the least amount of coverage on fuel. I guess if they had fruit booting, opps, I mean roller blading on, wakeboarding wouldnt be at the bottom of the barrel.
Wait, I guess freestyle walking would be one step lower then fruit booting.

INHD is by far the best coverage of wakeboarding (besides Pull) that I have seen. The bring in a storylines and the coverages of the heats on the head to head are great

I just did a search of wakeboarding on Cable and found a whole bunch of contests this week on Comcast HD TV. I set my DVR to record them, I'll post after if any of them were good..
