The first ever wakesurfing series started this past Saturday May 20th at Villa Lagos. The folks at NorCal INT League, more specifically Chuck and Linda Payton are making concerted efforts to add as many different types of water related board sports as possible.

That's where the American Wakesurf Association came in. Chuck asked us to put this series of contests on for them, and the first one went with incredible success. There were a ton of prizes for the first stop, with the highlight being the Xtreme Board Company's Fish in 5'4".

The naysayers said that it couldn't be done, a wakesurfing contest in a man made lake, but judging by the smiles on all the participants faces, such claims were wrong.

Perhaps the best thing about the NorCal INT League series is the fun and commradery shared at such events. We were fortunate enough to have Jerry Price, owner of Shred Stixx assist with judging the event, as well as doing some real time announcing. Particpants were able to see his new shape and pick his brain about riding and wakesurfing shapes. Jerry is arguably the oldest manufacturer of wakesurf specific boards in existence.

Also assisting with judging was our own Dennis Horton. Dennis has been surfing most of his life, starting out in Southern California as an exhibition rider for Gordon and Smith as a young boy. Dennis is the man to talk to about wakesurfing for bigger guys.

Linda and Chuck Payton were instrumental in making this series a reality and through out the day helped us make it a huge success. Thanks Chuck and Linda for all your support and tireless effort.

The results of the first contest, and current standings in the series after stop 1 are as follows:

BOYS NOVICE

Chad Payton First Place
Josh Twlker Second Place
Justin Payton Third Place

BOYS ADVANCED

Chase Hazen First Place
James Walker Second Place
Billy Bassett Third Place

WOMENS

Raequel Hoffman First Place
Judy Walker Second Place
Shawna Hoffman Third Place

MASTERS (not old men!)

The first time in history! A three way tie for first place!

Dennis Horton First Place
Jerry Price First Place
Jeff Walker First Place


Special thanks to all of our sponsors for their support during this first stop and the remaining three stops. Inland Surfer, Entrust Clothing, The Walker Project, 2nsane, Trick Boardz, Xtreme Board Company, Wakesurfing Magazine, Calibrated Wakesurfing.

Also HUGE thanks to all of the riders and folks at NorCal INT League that helped the event be a huge success

Xtreme Board Company donated this board. Their Fish was prominently displayed in our booth all day and was the center of a great deal of envy!

and the proud winner of the board! I do believe that is Josh Twelker and he was very polite, he came over to me after the final photo and thanked me for the prize! Gary, thanks for the donation of the board and for making a young man's day! Smile
