Yesterday were the qualifying rounds of the boat event for the Red Bull Wake Open where top pros were pulled behind the big wakes of the Malibu 22 MXZ to see who would make it through to today's final, which was rain delayed. The weather was spotty, but that didn't stop JD Webb, Bob Soven, Raph Derome, Rusty Malinoski, Aaron Rathy and Jimmy Lariche from rising to the top and grabbing a spot in today's final round.
 
Today's final resulted in an all-Canadian podium with Red Bull Wake Open defending champ, Raphael Derome, standing in the #1 position followed by Aaron Rathy and Rusty Malinoski respectively.
