The 2010 Tige Owners Reunion was held over the weekend and Tige owners turned out in droves to join the Hawaiian themed weekend at the Big River Ski Lodge in Grafton. Held over Saturday and Sunday the event is a chance for all Tige owners to meet in a central location and share their boating experiences with their Tige family.
This year, wakeboard veteran, Tige team rider and US Pro Tour announcer Nick Weinacker made the trip from the USA to MC the reunion weekend along side Mick Watkins. They called the action all weekend as teams of owners competed for the Tige Cup in events such as the Poker Run, the UnRideable Ride competition, a waterbomb throwing contest, a hands-free watermelon eating contest and a good old fashioned egg and spoon race.
There was never a dull moment with all of the owners having exclusive in-boat training from Australia's top watersports competitors including the likes of Dean Smith and Nick Weinacker (wakeboarding), John Schottelius (slalom), Brendan Paige (barefoot) and Marc Grey (kneeboard). As well as performing demos, these guys went boat-hopping throughout the weekend, meeting with and helping out all of the Tige owners on the water.
This year has again proven to be a massive success for the Tige Owners Reunion. The fun, family-orientated party weekend means that every owner could relax and enjoy themselves to the fullest.
Photos from the weekend are available on ProWake.com.au's Facebook account here. The video from the weekend will be online as soon as possible and will include the Tige Tour Biggest Loser weigh in - so stay tuned!
