By now it's no secret that WakeWorld had re-launched with a brand new website that is the most likely source of that puddle of drool on your keyboard. The new WakeWorld is all about YOU, the reader, and that's why we've added a full community with the ability to upload photos and video, network with friends, join groups, write blogs, post events and polls, rant on the forum and do all those things that the kids are doing online these days!

Because of insecurity brought on by childhood trauma that we'd rather not get into, we didn't feel it was enough to simply ask you to join the WakeWorld family and be our friend based on the cheeky personality that Mommy swears we have to offer. No, we like to overcompensate and, to put it bluntly, buy our friends! So we held a contest that was essentially begging you to be our friend. It turns out that the luckiest of our 15,396 friends is Barry Strauss, who will walk with the grand prize!

Barry is now the proud owner of a 2010 CWB Transcend 138 with a customized WakeWorld graphic on the top and bottom. To go along with this one-of-a-kind collectable, CWB also suited up Barry with a pair of AA bindings from the 2010 CWB line. Also included was a CWB Remington life vest, a Proline Faction rope and LGS handle and few pieces of CWB clothing.

But wait, there's more! Barry will also be receiving $500 in cash and 10,000 points to spend in the WakeWorld Points Store!!

Thanks so much to all of the WakeWorld members that not only make up the great WakeSpace community, but also participated in this contest (whether you knew it or not) and made it a great one.
