The Northwest’s premier summer wakeboard clinic tour is set to start in just a few weeks. NW resident pros Brent Starr, Greg Young, Danny Bergman, Bret V, & Sean Kilgus will be hitting the road the first week of June to help riders learn how to ride for the first time, or to teach them a new trick or two. We encourage families and riders to sign up for one of the tour stops regardless of riding level. This tour is truly about promoting the sport of wakeboarding throughout the Northwest and to help folks learn to ride that otherwise would not have proper instruction.

Check out the schedule and save the date for the NWR Tour Stop nearest you. Don’t miss this opportunity to hang out with the NW best riders.

I was looking through my video collection recently and realized that Bent Felix is one of my favorite movies. In the spirit of that, I thought we should all sit back and watch a little bit of Bent Felix.

Check out our behind the scenes coverage of the making of Bent Felix for more insight into what it took to bring this film to life.

Sean Kilgus, of BFY Productions, is in the process of filming “DRIVE”. The latest filming trip took the BFY Productions crew to Arizona with JD Webb, Danny Harf, Randall Harris, & Rusty Malinoski.

Wakeboarding Magazine’s June Issue has a brief feature about the trip. Check it out when it hits stands in a few weeks.

Go support a local Northwest pro shop. BAKES Board & Ski has all the gear you’ll need for the wake season ahead.

BAKES has been an integral part of growing the Northwest wake scene by sponsoring some of the Northwest best riders including: Bret V, Brent Starr, Brandon Robins, Chris Craig, & Nick Jones. BAKES also supports and sponsors the Northwest Rider clinics and Sean Kilgus of BFY Productions which brought us wake videos - Running on Empty, Butter Effect, and last years Bent Felix.

Stop by and say hello to the shop crew that includes local riders Brandon Robins and Bret V.

Last year I got the call from Kilgus, “how would you like to go to Australia for the filming of Bent Felix?”. Without hesitation I obliged and started planning for a trip of a lifetime.

The trip was stacked with a top notch crew of riders from around the world. Joining the roster were JD Webb and Keith Lyman and from Australia Scotty Broome and Dean Smith. There would also be a few cameo appearances from Amber Wing.

Check out the video trailer for Bent Felix and a few teaser galleries from our trip to Australia.

The Butter Effect has been recut for Fuel TV. Have a look at the film from a new perspective with the feel of a documentary style riding feature. Northwesterners Sean Kilgus and Riley Poor did a great job editing the film for television. Catch The Butter Effect at various times this month.
