Conditions on Koombana Bay, Bunbury Western Australia once again proved challenging at first and didn’t really let up all day so it became of a battle of the elements and who could buckle down and cope with the choppy conditions and Koombana Bay.

Event Dates : Saturday 29 February and Sunday 1 March 2020

The Highlights

The six-man final saw seasoned professionals Cory Teunissen (Gold Coast), Callan Starr (Ascot, WA), Shota Tezuka (Shizuoka, Japan) Sam Brown (Thirlmere, NSW), Josh Quartermaine (Cottesloe, WA) and making debut his debut Tom Heatly (Rossmoyne, WA) going head to head and battling it for $15,000 in prize money.

Tournament Director Mike Hogarth called the Action Sports Games Pro Wakeboard Tournament on after a meeting with the riders. “Water conditions improved since the morning and the wind has back off little so we’ll get on the water see how it all plays out” said Hogarth.

Defending champion Shota Tezuka (Jpn) went into the competition as the favourite and started his run impressively with some massive moves however after a couple of falls he knew it was going to be a tough challenge to make a podium finish. “Last year, I felt so confident going into the final and maybe that over confidence pulled me unstuck this year” said Tezuka, adding “the conditions were tough out there on Koombana Bay and when the wind turned that made the water bumpy and difficult to land your tricks”.

Dark horse and local talent, Callan Starr was pretty happy with his flawless run and really pulled out some big moves to place second behind Teunissen.
Starr took on the testing waters of Koombana Bay and wasn’t too fazed by the choppy cross shore conditions. “Coming from WA, I’m pretty use to tough water condition and I love competing in the Action Sports Games so I’m very happy with finishing second as it is fantastic result for me.…thanks heaps Bunbury…I’ll be back” said Starr.

Teunissen is no stranger to the sometimes wild conditions of Western Australia and went into the tournament looking relaxed and confident so he certainly had the water conditions dialled in to suit his style. Checking out the conditions early and seeing what the other competitors had strung together on their runs, Teunissen went to work like a quality tradesman, building on his repertoire of moves. He started out by testing the conditions and once he had that sorted, he was unstoppable. Although Teusnissen was easily the standout of the tournament and the judges were impressed with his solid combinations of tricks, so they rewarded him accordingly.

Taking out first place, Teunissen was ecstatic, “I am so happy to finish first on the podium and, it gives me a lot of confidence going into the rest of year, so really happy I came to Bunbury…its such a beautiful place…I’ll be back that’s for sure”. Teunissen added.

Wakeboard and skimboard action lure pros and beginners

Among the trade fair highlights for the board artists at boot Düsseldorf were the legendary Cable Mekka Awards. Around 500 riders and proud members of the community plus many friends met in the Cinema Filmkunstkino, to which the organizers of The Cable magazine and boot Düsseldorf had invited for the 20th awarding of the coveted trophies. Felix Georgii (Kranzegg) and Anne Freyer (Mannheim) were presented with the “Rider of the Year” awards. Eight other awards for exceptional performances and documentaries from the wakeboard world demonstrated the diversity of this growing community. At the height of the evening, Wakeboard veteran and boot presenter Clint Liddy was moved to tears. The Australian living in Frankfurt (“The Wakeboard Voice”) was honored for his lifetime achievement and said: “I never saw that coming. I am very happy that I can celebrate this matter of my heart here at boot with the entire industry.” And the industry had many reasons more to be pleased, as the Brand Manager of Liquid Force Germany put it. Karsten Krey said: “I have been at this trade fair for 40 years and can say: There was a buzzing this year! For the scene, the boot Düsseldorf is the highlight in winter.” The Pooltastic Wakeboard Contest in the flatwater pool was won by Nico von Lerchenfeld from Cologne, ahead of Pedro Caldas from Brazil and Germany’s Max Milde. Later in the week, the finest skimboard techniques and stylish moves were presented by leading European skimboarders. Semjon Szillat and Lydia Blanke won the “Battle of the boot” for their Team Skimzone Germany. As a sporty and a private couple, both showed how versatile this Sport can be for everyone.

The post Action Sports Games 2019 appeared first on Unleashed Wake Mag.

The Nautique Wake Series and WWA Wakeboard World Series (WBWS) kicked off what is expected to be one of the most competitive seasons yet at the 2019 Nautique Moomba Masters International Invitational. Riding behind the 6X Wakeboard Boat of the Year, the Super Air Nautique G23, the world’s best riders stole the show in front of over 400,000 cheering fans along Melbourne, Australia’s Yarra River with unbelievable performances. Proving that this generation of riders is the most committed and progressive in the history of the sport, every single run we saw was put down to not only win but make a statement for what’s to come for the 2019 season.

Looking to lock in the first win of the season, Nautique rider Cory Teunissen (AUS) displayed confidence throughout his entire run and kicking things off in his first pass with back to back F/S 900s. Teunissen went on to complete his flawless run with a super clean H/S B/S 720 followed by a final T/S double back roll to officially seal the deal for the top podium spot. Tyler Higham (USA) brought his unique west coast style to the final round of action with wrapped spins and a variety of grabs on all of his tricks locking in a massive second place finish on the Yarra. Higham also took the Rockstar Best Trick contest with his ever-stylish switch mute F/S 900. Coming in third, Ronix rider Nic Rapa (AUS) landed three massive back to back doubles to finish off his second pass, proving that he came to fight for his spot at the top this weekend.

The Pro Women’s Final was one to watch with five of the six finalists completing stand-up passes Monday afternoon. Meagan Ethell (USA) turned it up nailing a beautiful run that included a giant whirly bird, melon off axis 360, KGB, and H/S back roll for the win. Coming in second place and displaying the perfect amount of flips, spins, and amplitude off the wake of the legendary Super Air Nautique G23, Erika Lang (USA) set herself a part with one of the smoothest runs we’ve seen from the Nautique rider. Taking the Rockstar Best Trick award and rounding out the podium in third, Bec Gange (AUS) had the crowd screaming with her technical Indy Tantrum to Blind.

In the Jr. Women’s division, Aussie girl Mackenzie McCarthy (AUS) took home a big win, landing a huge Indy back roll to start off her run and finishing out with a crowd favorite and ever classic raley in her second pass. Haylee Bowman (AUS) placed second with style on every trick followed by Elle Christensen (USA) in third giving it everything she had to round out the podium. In the Jr. Pro Men’s division Joshua Swift (AUS) displayed one of the most impressive runs we’ve seen from a Juniors division, landing multiple 720s and closing out his run with a technical B/S 540. Bryce Grey (AUS) finished a close second with incredibly clean riding followed by the stylish Yu Hamazaki (JPN) in third.

Dedicated to progressing the sport from the ground up, the Nautique Wake Series puts riders first, developing the stars of tomorrow and showcasing the top athletes of today with every major event held behind the Super Air Nautique G23.

#RIDE4TIMO

Timo Kuppens, an 11 year old accomplished sportsman, who lived his passions at 200km per hour, left too early.

He practices all the sports, a little trend of the new generations. With a Dad who was a racing driver and distributor of the Brand Tigé Boat for Europe he had many opportunities to try many things.

Wakesurfing and wakeboarding came naturally for him because from a very young age he was able to learn these water sports .
But like all the kids of his age he also played other sports like tennis which he was very good at.
At 11 years old Timo was already an accomplished sportsman. He was just as comfortable behind a boat as he was his dirt bike.
He followed his father, the famous racing driver everywhere. He was his first fan and especially well present during his last title of World Champion at DUBAI in 2013.
With his father Renaud, who was a World Champion speed race driver, and his mother, Isabelle, in the top 10 of the world ranking of Karting drivers you can imagine that little Timo was also naturally a driver.

He asserted that natural ability when he stepped on his MotoCross for some rides in his garden.

We will miss you TIMO, you left us on the evening of December 17, 2017 suddenly, of a disease still unknown.

We hope with all our hearts that you are continuing to ride the clouds of Heaven with the Angels. Those of us here on Earth will ride everyday with a thought for you.
