The 2006 Bakes NWI Double Up Tournament was won by Bret van den Heuvel of Gig Harbor, WA. This year, Bret looks to defend his title against the Northwest’s top wakeboarding talent. Riders taking aim at the crown will include Chris Craig, Brent Starr, Brandon Robins, Nick Ennen, and others. The event will take place July 28, 2007 at Renton’s Gene Coulon Park. Take a look back at the recap from 2006 and wet your appetite for a bigger and better Bakes NWI for this season.

On August 1, 2006 Jared Eygabroad and a crew of riders came over to my house in Idaho to enjoy a little piece of what I like to call Heaven. It’s the perfect playground for any water sport enthusiast. It is a place where breaking mirrors brings good luck, skies are blue, the water is warm as well as flat, and the air is an average 90-degrees. This is a place where tubers and jet-skiers are not an issue and if the wind picks up than we just go around the corner.
