WHAT A WEEKEND!

Relentless Wakestock 2009 will go down as the biggest and best yet! After ten years worth of the best music combined with the world’s best wakeboarders we wanted to celebrate in style with our loyal supporters and give them a weekend to remember and Wakestock 2009 did just that!

Highlights included the Red Arrows full 9 plane display right over the festival site, the new wakeboard pool gap format with the system 2 cable looking over to the new open air stage, the massive crowds on Abersoch Beach for the Big Air event. Along with the awesome vibe on the campsite all weekend, the winning run by world champion Nick Davies at Pwllheli Marina on the Sunday and of course performances from Calvin Harris, Moby, N*E*R*D, Pigeon Detectives, Zane Lowe, Dizzee Rascal and all the other awesome bands & DJs that made Relentless Wakestock 2009 so memorable.

The festival had everything this year, wind, rain, mud but thankfully lots of sun! Flat water for the wakeboarding, some very busy local pubs Saturday night! Live TV coverage including a drenching of the ITV presenter on the pool gap and of course the biggest, most energetic crowd in the festival’s 10 year history at the main stage on Sunday night for Dizzee Rascal’s headline performance. Absolute bonkers!
