Straight Line is recognizing Ben Greenwood’s success on the water with an all new pro model handle. The handle is unlike anything Straight Line has created in the past. It features an all new aluminum bar with a thicker and even softer EVA grip that fit Ben’s style. This handle is also thin and forgiving. It features an all new design for the anti-roll arms that is thin and slightly curved with rounded edges.

The Ben Greenwood signature handle will begin appearing in advertisements soon and will be available this Spring.

MasterCraft wants to take you on the Ride of a Lifetime!

Just imagine waking up to go snowboarding with Oakley Pros on Mt. Hood every morning. And then coming down to hop behind an X-Star to ride with MasterCraft Pros Andrew Adkison, Zane Schwenk, and Jack Blodgett every afternoon. Now you know why this trip is called the Ride of a Lifetime.

There is currently legislation being proposed that will restrict any and all wake enhancing devices on the Wilamette River in Oregon. If you are a wake enthusiest of any type this should be a key issue, especially if you are a regular in that area. However, even if you are not in Oregon, this has the potential to effect us all.

Learn about the details … after the jump.

Known as the first rail contest in the history of the sport, and the event that put The Projects on the map in 1999, The Carnival, is returning this summer to The Projects in Orlando, Florida where the world’s top pros will be battling for the belt on May 10-12, 2007.

I just got off of the phone with Northwest based filmer and W.I.T. Productions front man Spencer Norris. Spencer just returned from a 20 day trip to Florida where he was working on obtaining some footage for his next video. It sounds like things are going well with some crazy happenings in the world of wakeskating.

The last time Andrew Adkison took to the water in Orlando for a pro event, he had just won a world championship the previous fall. He was on top of the wakeboarding world and competing in his home town. It�s d�j� vu all over again for Adkison as professional wakeboarding returns to the city that many consider the capital of the sport. But this time Adkison is hoping for much different results as the Air Nautique Wake Games debut April 26-29 at the Orlando Watersports Complex.

It’s one of the hottest spots in America for college Spring Break excitement…it’s where you go to hang out with 200,000 Spring Breakers partying on 34 miles of un-interrupted beach…and it’s where the Texas Wakeboard Tour will be throwing the Spring Break Slam Wakeboard Rail Jam! Read on with the official press release.

I recently came across a company named Voz Sports that is attempting to tap into the wake market. Voz touts itself as a company that strives to create innovative products designed with form and function in mind while integrating the latest technology offered. You be the judge.

The world of wakeboarding has always had one name that everyone from the vet to the grom can recognize…Scott Byerly. Byerly has never stopped pushing the sport and progressing things from all angles. This year he adds his own twist with a full line of gear that bears the name of the Legend himself. Scott has always had innovation in mind when designing his products, and he is sure to keep pushing the envelope with the likes of his new wakeskate shape to his artistic and creative thoughts going into his graphics and softgoods.

Take a look at a rather lengthy teaser for the new wake film titled “Authentic: A Left Coast Vision.” The film comes from director Brandon Lee of Over-Flo Films and features the likes of Aaron Aubrey, Kyle Murphy, and some of the West Coast’s most stylish riders. By the looks of it, the video has solid editing and some great film work.
