Orlando, Fla. — Nautique, the title sponsor of the 2012 Wake Games, is upping the ante at this year’s contest by sponsoring two new pro events worth more than $10,000 in cash prizes. The boat manufacturer will front cold, hard cash for both a traditional double-up contest and an innovative expression session challenge that will be held on site at the Orlando Watersports Complex immediately following the event’s Pro Men finals.

“Since 2006, the Nautique Wake Games has brought together riders of all ages and skill levels to celebrate water sports in a fun and unique contest setting,” said Nautique CEO Bill Yeargin. “Now we are taking the excitement of this event to a whole new level by challenging wakeboarding’s best to push the limits of the sport in two new added events.”

The double-up contest will give each rider two opportunities to land the most impressive trick possible off a natural kicker generated by two of the Nautique’s massive wakes. The top three trick performers will split the $6,000 cash purse.

Following the double-up contest, Nautique will host a winner-take-all expression session challenge for $5,000. The rider who lands the most innovative trick never before landed in a contest will take home the cash prize.

“Expect to see attempts at a 1260,” said tournament director Chris Bischoff. “With one of the meatiest wakes in the industry, we’re going to witness tricks never seen in a public forum.”

Both pro events will be held on Saturday, April 14, following the finale of the seventh annual Games. The Nautique Wake Games, presented by Rockstar Energy Drink, will be held April 11-14 at the Orlando Watersports Complex in Orlando, Fla.

The Nautique Wake Games is a unique wakeboard contest, allowing professionals and amateurs to work together in a team-formatted points race. Riders from 22 skill-level divisions are drafted to the teams of 10 preselected captains, where they will contribute points based on placement in their individual divisions. The team with the highest collective score will win the overall title.

2012 Nautique Wake Games Set for a Saturday Finale

Orlando, Fla. — Wakeboarding’s top professional and amateur riders will once again assemble in the sport’s capital, Orlando, Fla., to compete together in the largest team-formatted event in the world — the Nautique Wake Games, presented by Rockstar Energy Drink. Event organizer World Sports & Marketing announced today that the 2012 Games will be played over the course of four days at the Orlando Watersports Complex, beginning Wednesday, April 11, and ending Saturday, April 14.

“Year after year, the Nautique Wake Games attracts hundreds of competitors from all over the world because it’s the only opportunity for them to team up with the sport’s top pros,” said tournament director Chris Bischoff. “So it only makes sense to host a massive event like this in the mecca of the sport — Orlando.”

During its first two days of action, the seventh annual Games will host qualifying rounds for riders competing in all 22 skill-level divisions. Among all the initial competitors, only 90 riders will emerge past the qualifying rounds and be entered into a live draft, held on site at OWC on Thursday evening, where 10 preselected captains will field their teams with a mix of pro and amateur riders.

Over the course of the event’s final two days, riders contribute points toward a team score based on individual placement in their skill-level division. The team with the highest collective score will win the overall title. All 22 divisions will crown an individual winner as well.

Last year, former world champion Rusty Malinoski captained the winning team of the 2011 Nautique Wake Games, and will look to defend his title in 2012 with the help of a new pro-am squad.

Daily event schedules and registration information for the 2012 Nautique Wake Games, presented by Rockstar Energy Drink will soon be available on KingofWake.com.

Spectators will be charged admission only on Saturday, April 14. Tickets are available at the gate: $13 (adult); $5 (ages 6-12); free (ages 5 and under); or $7 (adult) if purchased at KingofWake.com before noon ET on Friday, April 13, 2012.

Following his 2010 Worlds title, Dean Smith went on a tear to make sure nobody forgot about him. It’s hard to forget about Dean, even if the only thing you have to remind you is a photo in a mag or a quick clip on the Internet. Dean charges like nobody else and goes absolutely huge.

Your jaw drops just as he’s cutting into the wake because you know he’s about to launch himself into oblivion. But Dean mixed in a ton of style and some insane new tricks to go along with his high-flying approach, and he even joined the 1080 club this year. Dean is one of our favorite riders to not only watch, but hang out with. Keep an eye out for him in 2012, you’re gonna want to watch.
