RELENTLESS WAKESTOCK ATTRACTS WAKEBOARDERS FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE

Relentless Wakestock attracts wakeboarders from all over the globe and 2009 is no exception. More international riders than ever before will travel to North Wales to compete for the prestigious title.
There will be a large Southern Hemisphere contingent including Brad Smeele who was a champ back in 2007 but just missed out on the podium last year. He will be joining us all the way from New Zealand along with fellow countryman Paul McQuire and Aussie’s Scotty Broom & Dean Smith. South African Nick Burton Moore came in 8th place last year, but will be fighting for the top spot in 2009. Grom Daniel Grant is flying in from Thailand to compete for the first time for the biggest title in wakeboarding and is sure not to disappoint. Sean O’Brien will cross the Atlantic from his home in Orlando, Florida to battle it out against the best of the British including the likes of current World Champ Nick Davies, 3 times Relentless Wakestock champion Dan Nott, 2006 champion, Jonty Green and a whole entourage of up and coming youngsters after the title. They’re all looking to reclaim the podium after the Canadians and Americans dominated it last year!

It’s no different in the girl’s event too. Robbie Rendo will be flying in from Argentina to try to regain the title of Relentless Wakestock Women’s Champ following her win back in 2006 and last year at Blenheim Palace, she will be joined by European female riders including Spaniard Ana Alvarez and Belgian born Elke Venken. Aussie Kath Moore is also a hot contender following her win back in 2007 and 2nd place last year. Can she make it back to the top spot for the festival’s 10th birthday?

Up at the Pool Gap on the festival site itself the international feel continues with Frenchman Kevin Calvez, Reed Watson from the USA and Ludovico Vanoli from Italy battling it out on their wakeskates as part of the Rococo Rail Tour.
The stage is set and the rails are almost good to go. Let the international battle commence!
