The post Loïc Deschaux gagne les World Games 2025 appeared first on Unleashed Wake Mag.

Hello Fam!

We’re buzzing with excitement after an absolutely EPIC summer spent on the water at parks across the globe. The “Summer of Sling” tour took us to over 70 incredible stops worldwide, where we built up some serious hype, reconnected with friends, and celebrated our shared passion for wakeboarding at some of our favorite parks. Now, as summer winds down, we’re thrilled to introduce some of the most stunning wakeboards and boots we’ve ever crafted. It’s been a season to remember, and we can’t wait to show you what’s in store.

So, what’s new for SLINGSHOT 2025? You’re in for a treat. Our RAD and JEWEL boots are leading the charge this year with a game-changing feature: brand-new removable liners. These liners are designed for those moments when you want to take a stroll along the park shores without sacrificing the comfort and support you’ve come to expect from your favorite wake boots. Whether you’re taking a break between sets or just enjoying the scenery, these liners make it easier than ever to transition from the water to the shore and back again.

And that’s not all—2025 is also seeing the return of a fan favorite: the Johnny Rocket. This time, it’s back in black and available in a full range of sizes to suit every rider. The Johnny Rocket has always been a crowd-pleaser, and we’re pumped to offer it again with some fresh new updates that are sure to get you stoked for your next ride.

Another exciting addition this year is the introduction of the PRO Gummies straps. We’ve heard from so many of you who love the feel of our traditional Gummies but wanted something with a bit more bite. The PRO Gummies are the answer—a stiffer, stretchier option for those who crave an even tighter fit with any Slingshot boot. These bad boys are perfect for riders who demand the best in performance and precision. Trust us, your feet will thank you.

But it’s not just our gear that’s getting an upgrade. The Slingshot family is growing, and we couldn’t be more excited about the new wave of talent joining us in 2025. These fresh faces are already making a name for themselves, and we’re beyond grateful to have them on board. They bring new energy, creativity, and skill to the table, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in wakeboarding. At Slingshot, we believe that our team is what makes our brand and our products truly special. We couldn’t do what we do without their passion, dedication, and relentless pursuit of excellence.

And, of course, we couldn’t do it without YOU. Whether you’ve been with us from the start or are just joining the Slingshot community, you are the heart and soul of everything we do. Your support, feedback, and enthusiasm drive us to keep innovating and pushing the limits. We’re so grateful for the connections we’ve made along the way and the incredible moments we’ve shared on the water.

As we look ahead to the rest of the year and beyond, we’re more committed than ever to delivering the best in wakeboarding gear and experiences. From the latest innovations in our products to the amazing talent joining our ranks, 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting years yet. We’re ready to ride the wave of success that this summer has set in motion, and we can’t wait to see where it takes us.

So here’s to the future—to more epic sessions, more unforgettable memories, and more of the stoke that brings us all together. Whether you’re hitting the water with your new RAD or JEWEL boots, shredding on the Johnny Rocket, or locking in the perfect fit with PRO Gummies, know that you’re part of something special. Together, we’re not just riding the waves—we’re creating them.

Thank you for being part of the Slingshot family. Here’s to another year of pushing boundaries, breaking records, and making waves. See you on the water!

In the evening, the Crux Pistols will provide the right groove: the Munich DJ greats and former operators of the former hip-hop cult club Crux in the Zerwirkgewölbe, Dan Gerous and Not F.X., will be playing at MASH Square from 9.00 pm.

The home of action sports: 10 years of MASH

True to the motto “coming home”, the Munich Action Sports Heroes will be returning to the Olympic Park from 2 to 4 August, transforming the venue once again into a world of high-class sports and cultural diversity.

10 years ago – in 2014 – MASH celebrated its premiere. Since then, the action sports festival has become an unmissable event in the Olympic Park. All Munich locals and action sports fans should mark this year’s dates in their calendars, as the 2024 edition will again feature spectacular contests in BMX, skateboarding, wakeboarding, and street dance, as well as the revamped MASH Fest, which for the first time will see Germany’s best 3×3 basketball players competing for the national cup.

“We proudly look back on 10 years of  Munich MASH 2024 and are very much looking forward to this year’s edition at the beginning of August. It is in the DNA of this successful Olympic Park event to offer something new and surprising every time, to feature elite sports and to showcase the action sports lifestyle in a unique way. Over the past decade, MASH has developed into a highlight in the international event calendar that is highly regarded by the athletes and loved by the audience. It will be the same again in 2024,” says Olympic Park Director Marion Schöne, adding, “The fact that we have been able to develop and establish this event in such a way is in no small part down to the support of the City of Munich and many strong partners, whom I would like to express my thanks to.” Munich’s Sports Mayor Verena Dietl says: “Action sports are very close to my heart, and as the state capital we support these sports in many ways. Considering what an event highlight MASH has become over the last 10 years and how well received the event is, especially among the younger generation, any support has been worthwhile. I’m greatly looking forward to this year’s edition and three days full of excitement and enthusiasm.”

A record 92,000 visitors flocked to the park last year and were inspired by the exceptional atmosphere. The sporting action picks up seamlessly in August 2024 – the public can get in the spirit for these four contests:

Skateboarding is the bedrock in the MASH context. International athletes have been inspiring audiences with their skills since 2015. This year, they will provide that outdoor pool feeling. Red Bull Pool Drop brings the most talented and creative international skateboarders from the street and bowl disciplines to Munich. The name says it all: The athletes are allowed to present their skateboard performance on a brand-new swimming pool-style set-up on the Olympic Lake. Familiar pool elements will turn the swimmers’ paradise into a skateboard paradise. International world elite will meet local heroes.

Athletes will experience a revival in the BMX contest. Just like in 2017, they will move their contest to Hans-Jochen-Vogel-Platz and show off their skills on the spine ramp, surrounded by crowds of spectators who could hardly be any closer to the action. The spine ramp is the most dynamic and one of the most prestigious events in BMX freestyle. Those who excel here have the best prerequisites for BMX freestyle park – the discipline that will be contested at the Olympics for a second time this year in Paris. With an area of 250 square meters and a height of up to four meters, it is the perfect “playground” for the 12 BMX stars competing in Munich.

Wakeboarding has been part of the MASH program since 2016 and once again promises plenty of action on a spectacular set-up on the Olympic Lake. In addition to the individual women’s and men’s events, there will once again be a team contest. Julia Rick, “newcomer” Nils Ritzmann, Nico von Lerchenfeld (all three from Germany) and last year’s winners Pedro Caldas (BRA) and Lisa Baloo (ISR) are among those who have already registered for this year’s contest.

The street dance contest at the Theatron will be returning for a second stint. The dancers made their official competition debut in 2023, dancing their way into visitors’ hearts and proving that street dance and MASH are a match made in heaven. Two events are also on the agenda this year: International Breaking 2vs2 Mixed and International All Style Mixed 7-to-smoke. Both categories will be contested by invited international top dancers as well as performers qualifying via pre-selection.

From the very beginning, MASH has been a top-class, international sporting event, but not just that. The secret of its success has always been the combination of thrilling action sports and a complementary program highlighting the lifestyle and culture of the scene. For its 10th anniversary, things will be no different – and even better: themed “coming home”, the revamped MASH Fest will embrace the visitors with plenty of joie de vivre. A casual chill-out area is perfect for lingering and relaxing, while a variety of activities such as skateboarding, dance and graffiti workshops promise an unforgettable experience. From tasty treats and music to artistic performances, there will be something to tickle all the senses. The ING 3×3 Champions Trophy, the German Cup in 3×3 basketball, has been added to the program as a new side event this year, and the legendary after-party on Saturday evening is not to be missed either. The MASH Fest simply provides the perfect setting for guests to come together, get creative, relax, and take in all the action in one place.

Felix, Dom, Tobi, and Sam recently embarked on an unforgettable adventure to Raf’s family’s private island in Indonesia. The invitation promised a week of pure excitement and adrenaline as they geared up to conquer the insane System2.0 park nestled on the island.

Set against the backdrop of pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters, the secluded island provided the perfect playground for these pro wakeboarders. With nothing but the sound of the waves and the thrill of the ride, they wasted no time in pushing the limits of their skills.

Raf, Manu, and Jamal played gracious hosts, opening up their stunning island paradise for this exclusive filming opportunity. Their hospitality and generosity made the experience even more memorable for the riders, who soaked in every moment of their time on the island.

As the cameras rolled and the boards hit the water, Felix, Dom, Tobi, and Sam showcased their mastery of the sport, executing jaw-dropping tricks and gravity-defying stunts. Each jump and twist was a testament to their dedication and passion for wakeboarding.

With the support of their hosts and the breathtaking surroundings fueling their adrenaline, the riders embraced the challenge of Raf’s System2.0 park with enthusiasm and skill. From sunrise sessions to sunset rides, they made the most of every opportunity to shred and explore the possibilities of the park.

As the week came to a close, the memories created on Raf’s private island will linger on for Felix, Dom, Tobi, and Sam. It was more than just a wakeboarding adventure—it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that brought together friends, adrenaline, and the beauty of Indonesia’s natural wonders.

Thanks to Raf, Manu, and Jamal for opening their doors and allowing these pro wakeboarders to share in the magic of their private island paradise. Until next time, the thrill of the ride and the camaraderie forged on this unforgettable journey will continue to inspire and motivate.

Thomas Herman : Progression stands out as arguably the most crucial element in the realm of wakeboarding. It manifests through the accomplishment of new tricks or the infusion of a distinctive flair into existing maneuvers. Both avenues hold the potential to unlock a cascade of ideas and developments that evolve over time. Occasionally, there are those extraordinary, monumental leaps in progression that etch themselves into the wakeboarding history books, creating moments indelibly etched in the minds of wakeboarding enthusiasts.

In a contest format dedicated to pushing the boundaries of wakeboarding possibilities, a groundbreaking chapter was written at the Red Bull Double or Nothing on a lake in downtown Orlando.

During the early days of wakeboarding, the double up served to provide riders with extended airtime, allowing for additional 180-degree spins or the incorporation of grabs into tricks that were otherwise hurried off the small wakes generated by boats at that time. Inboard competition boats, originally designed as slalom ski boats to create minimal wakes for speeds exceeding 30 mph, offered wakeboarders and trick skiers lift at slower speeds of 18 to 20 mph. As the pioneers of wakeboarding realized the potential of timing a roller created while turning around to coincide with the boat wake, the sport witnessed an influx of new tricks.

Boats continued to grow in size and weight, with engines, transmissions, and propellers pushing more weight, displacing more water, and causing wakes to consistently enlarge. Eventually, the double up ceased to be a necessity for progression. In fact, many riders began avoiding regular double up attempts since the wakes had become substantial enough to learn new tricks without it, mitigating the looming fear of injury. It’s a safe assumption that the majority of injuries at the professional level over the last three decades occurred during double up attempts.

Thomas Herman make the History 

While the wake directly behind the boat offers a predictable and consistent pop, the double up introduces a high level of unpredictability, relying heavily on the driver to create a stable set-roller and approach at an optimal angle. What makes the double up even more unique is that each rider tends to prefer something a little different. Some riders like the angle “T-ed up” or prefer a closer-to-90-degree approach, while others lean towards a more “open” or easier pocket to enter. Even in ideal conditions, the double up remains a volatile element, producing a stunt-like kick that is challenging to control.

Regarded as the GOAT (Greatest of All Time), Parks Bonifay utilized the double up to elevate himself to legendary status throughout his illustrious career. It’s fitting that this event was conceived by Parks and Red Bull, providing riders with the motivation to refocus on the double up and push the boundaries of progression in a winner-takes-all format. The inaugural event took place in 2004 and was an instant success. Although the event took a hiatus for a few years, it has maintained its exclusivity by only including riders that Parks deems worthy, with the added opportunity for riders to earn a wildcard. This year, rookies Jamie Huser and snowboard cross-over athlete Fynn Bullock seized that chance.

• HIGH QUALITY WAKEBOARD FEATURES
  – Goodboards are considered very strong thanks to high- end European materials, robust construction, wet layup, long press duration.
  The fast and durable bases are 0.6mm thick sintered polyethylene. Our material glides better and withstand more than other popular thin foil bases, one of the reasons we have very few customer complaints.
  – Channels improve steering and stability and ours are especially effective. They are mortised directly in the wooden core.
  – All wakeboards have quadraxial fiberglass layer in the top and bottom sheet increasing durability and power transmission compared to biaxial fiberglass boards. We use a fiberglass layer construction which runs edge to edge guaranteeing 20% higher performance over the standard cheaper fiberglass weaves.
  – Carbon Power Stingers run longitudinally through the bottom sheet of all of our wakeboards providing more pop and harmonious flex.
  – A special rubberized layer between the base and ABS edges cushions as well as protects from delamination.
  – Robust and thicker ABS Edges protect the construction from damage by obstacles
  – High-end real wood cores specifically with hardwood for the inserts. There is a lot of force leveraged through the bindings into the inserts; hardwood cores ensure reliable hold.
  – We produce boards with a drill-able inlay rather than with fins, as most customers ride without them. This eliminates potential water damage through the fin holes left in the base when the fins are removed.
  – Our designs have an elegant and timeless optic compared to our competitors.
  – We organize over 70 days of free demos for our customers to test the quality themselves; more than any other wakeboard brand !
