Here we are on year 22 of our annual survey of the best riders and products in wake! Ever since Parks Bonifay and Dallas Friday dominated the Top Wakeboarder categories, and Brian Grubb took the Top Wakeskater division back in our firsrt year (2001) we've been spending every August in the voting booth repeating the process. We didn't even have a Top Wakesurfer category back then! Rookie of the Year was a kid who went by the name of Phillip "Froggy" Soven. Wakeboard of the Year was the Hyperlite Premier and Binding of the Year was the Hyperlite Belmont. 12 Honkeys was the Video of the Year and the Super Air Nautique took the very first Boat of the Year honors.
There is no source more accurate at determining the riders and products that have had the most impact on our sport throughout the year than the fans themselves (yup, that's you)! With 21 years of WakeWorld Riders Choice Awards behind us, we embark on year 22 with as much enthusiam and excitement as ever...along with a pile of prizes you could win just for voting! The past 12 months have been a super exciting time in the wake universe and we can't wait to hear YOUR opinion about the riders and products that made a difference to YOU.
As if voicing your opinion and steering the direction of wakeboarding were not enough motivation to get involved, we want the 22nd annual WakeWorld Riders Choice Awards Presented by Hyperlite to be our biggest ever, so we're going to reward you with some great prizes just for submitting your vote! That's right, just let us know what you think and you'll be entered into our random drawing to win one of the amazing prizes listed below generously provided by Hyperlite.
