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!

A few weeks ago The Liquid Circus broke the news that Brad Smeele (who?) had landed the first regular 1080 in history. At the time we had to make do with Jeff Weatherall’s great sequence of the feet as the only documented proof.

Well suffer no more, Wakeboarding Mag has just posted a clip of from their MyWake Video site documenting the action in full 30FPS action. Apparently this is the video Josh Robinson shot for his upcoming flick Canvas, and thankfully he saw fit to release it prior to the video.

Brad Smeele may not have been very well known before, but he has everyone’s attention now. Hit the jump to see the first regular 1080 ever.
