2008 Tige U.S. Pro-Am Arrives in Portland June 20-22
Posted on Monday, April 14th, 2008 by Zack | Posted under Boats, Events, General, Riders
Tige Boats presents the 2008 U.S. Pro-Am tournament being hosted by the great city of Portland, Oregon on June 20-22. The Pro Wakeboard Tour had become a staple in the Portland wakeboard scene for many years, but took an exit this season. Tige stepped up and is bringing the Pro-Am event to the area. I have spoken to many riders here in the Northwest and they are excited for this event because it offers many of them the chance to compete against some of the top in the sport.
The event will happen at Blue Lake Park just outside of Portland. Blue Lake has been the event site for the Pro Wakeboard Tour and is one of the better venues for a wake event. The water is almost always smooth, and the weather is typically great with beautiful Northwest sun and temps.

Hope to see some of the Northwest talant riding in this event. Lots of division, so you don’t have to be a pro to ride in it.

I love the Blue Lake Park venue. I hope to see all the crew from WA, OR, and the ID areas come out to this and ride.
Riders: who’s planning on coming out and repping the NW?
