1st Annual Northwest Wakesurf Open

We can’t create a nice video of an entire division with music and stuff due to YouTube’s limitations. But we sure can do this in our podcast!

You can now find permanent pages at the top menu for slideshows of each division and the results.

Whitney and RJ decided to do an intro to the videos. We also wanted to test out our brand new camera that came in the mail today, more on that later. Here is a quick intro to the coming videos. Several masters videos are being uploaded as I type this.

I have never been a fan of obnoxious twitter updates, but I do use it to inform when I upload videos. Feel free to follow wake9, and you will find out as the videos go live.

We should have the results posted up soon today. Then we will start working on the video. I will have an update later today with how the video will be posted so stay tuned! I will also be getting some pictures hopefully in the next day or so from the photographer with links on how you can see all of them.

What a fantastic event, and wow what a great job the NWWSA did. The wake9 crew is dead tired and we are so stoked that all went well and the live webcast went off well. We are already making plans for how much better the next one will be.

Stay tuned to this blog, and we will be posting lots of video and pictures and results in the coming days. Sorry we couldn’t broadcast the awards ceremony, but it was too dark, and everyone was too tired.

Thanks again!

Here you go, expect burps and interruptions, we are going to work through the day to get you audio.

The online broadcast went FANTASTIC, and will only get better in the future. We had hundreds of people watching the contest. Sorry if you missed it!

Stay tuned to this page for any news and updates about the 1st Annual Northwest Wakesurf Open on Lake Sammamish, WA. We will be attempting some type of live updates from the contest. Keep checking back!
