Danny Harf, the wonder boy from team Ronix has added another industry first to his long list of accomplishments; this time becoming the first rider ever to land a 1260. Armed with a monster wake and his 
Ronix DHV1 Wakeboard, Harf added another 180 degrees of rotation, for a full 3 and half spins.
In what was perhaps the best kept wakeboarding secret of all-time, Harf swore everyone that witnessed his historic move to secrecy to ensure no one would spill the beans before the Best of Wake Awards Ceremony this past weekend. The result of the successful ninja mission was a mind blowing unveiling that had more than a few riders (especially Rusty Malinoski, who believed he had the award cinched) visibly upset. Of course once the shock wore off, they were just as excited as Danny, showing how close the riders at the top are, even when pushing each other to land new moves.
Congratulations Danny, enjoy being the first rider in history to land a 1260; although someone will inevitably land a 1340, no one can take that away from you!

Uh yeah a 1340 would mean someone is going to be eating it real hard….. It would be a 1440, which is 4 full spins.

Hey Ryan-
Thanks for checking my math, clearly 1260 + 180 equals 1440 and not 1340. Although I’m sure there will be some 1340s while attempting four rotations, hopefully no one gets hurt badly.

Rereading this comment got me thinking; I wonder how long it will be before someone lands a 1440. When Danny, Rusty, et al pulled off the 1080, I think a lot of people thought it would be a long time before someone tacked on another 180. That clearly wasn’t the case…
