Soven Continues PWT Domination North of the Border

Posted on July 9th, 2007 by Jason | posted in Events, General, Riders

Can anyone beat Phil Soven this year? He’s currently 3 for 4 on the Pro Wakeboard Tour, and after sharing that he hasn’t missed a switch crow mobe 540 in over two years, we have to wonder if anyone has a chance to beat him as the race to the end of the season draws near.

Despite strong competition and rough water, Soven was able to lay down a solid run, and dealt with the rollers better than most others, including local favorites Chad Sharpe and Rusty Malinoski. Kelowna knows how to put on an event, with a sell out crowd that has us wondering what’s missing from Pro Tour events in the US. Fans lined the shores and packed the beer garden to check out some of the best, and most competitive riding in the world.

Although Phil has proven himself on tour this year, a quick look at the standings shows him leading Rusty in 2nd place by only 10 points, which means the season finale in Portland is going to be the perfect finish to a year of great riding on tour. We’ll see you in Portland for the conclusion, along with a party that only the Pacific Northwest can put on.

2006 Pro Wakeboard Tour Videos From Fuel TV

Fuel TV Wakeboard VideosIf you didn’t get a chance to visit one of the 2006 Pro Tour stops to see the action in person you missed out on some solid riding, and a pretty fun scene surrounding wakeboarding. Fortunately for you wakeboarding Magazine and Fuel TV have teamed up to offer Fuel’s 2006 PWT coverage online so you can relive the head-to-head show downs whenever you want.

Wakeboarding rarely makes it on TV, and few households actually have Fuel TV from their cable provider, so this is a great move that will give wakeboarding, and the Pro Tour more exposure. Hopefully the 2007 tour videos will be available shortly after the events actually take place, giving wakeboarders around the world the opportunity to experience what a tour stop is like, without having to make a road trip.

Check out the videos after the jump.
