The top pro wakeboarders in the world hit the waters of Volunteer Landing today for the final rounds of action at MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour stop in Knoxville, Tennesse.
First off the dock this morning, were the Pro Men’s division for their 20-man quarterfinal. Riders competed in five heats of four, with only the top two riders in each heat advancing onto the semifinals.
The theme of today’s semifinals was old school meets new school, as the two stacked heats ranged from young guns Harley Clifford and Jimmy LaRiche to elite veterans Chad Sharpe and Danny Harf.
The ten semifinalists battled it out on the water for one of four spots in the finals, with Andrew Adkison, Danny Harf, rookie Harley Clifford and top-seed Aaron Rathy advancing onto the last round of the contest.
All four finalists threw down some impressive runs, but Canadian ripper Aaron Rathy stood out from the competition to post a 97-point run, almost 12-points more than his next closet competitor. Harley Clifford and Danny Harf rounded out the podium, respectively.
Today’s win marks Rathy’s second consecutive Pro Tour stop victory of the 2009 season.
Also in the Pro Men’s division, England’s Nick Davies took home the ROCKSTAR Best Trick Award today for his massive Heelside 900 off of the U.S. Air Force kicker. The Award is a $1,000 cash prize.
In the Jr. Pro Men’s division, ten amateur rippers battled it out on the water in today’s semifinals for one of four spots in the final round of the Knoxville contest. Daniel Powers, Mitch Langfield, Jarrod Askew and top-seed Bob Soven faced off in the four-man final with Soven beating out Langfield by a single point to claim his third consecutive Tour stop win of the season. Langfield and Powers rounded out the podium, respectively.
Following Knoxville, the MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour will head to Elizabethtown, Kentucky, July 18 & 19, for its fourth stop of the 2009 season. Addition venues for the 2009 Pro Tour include Fort Worth, Texas, Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin and Sparks/Reno, Nevada.

HSE Trident are having a sale on their Revolution Volume Control to make the RVC more affordable for a winter project.
Usually $295USD plus $35USD shipping & insurance, they are on sale to Australian customers until July 15 for $265USD including shipping.
Combine that with the improving exchange rate and this is a great deal to get yourself one of the best stereo upgrades on the market.
The Revolution Volume Control integrates seamlessly into existing or new audio system and automatically performs the tedious task of lowering the stereo volume when you back off to pick up a fallen rider, and then it returns the volume to the original level when you take off.
It is a set and forget item that performs the task so well that you forget it is installed.
That is until you ride in a boat without an RVC and wonder how you ever lived without it. No more reaching for the volume 100 times a day, the HSE does it all for you!
Go to www.hsetrident.com to learn more about the RVC and watch the demo video.
