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. The Nautique Wake Series is the only event series that gives riders of all ages, gender and skill level the opportunity to compete at an elite level.

THE 2019 NAUTIQUE MOOMBA MASTERS
INTERNATIONAL INVITATIONAL

The post THE 2019 NAUTIQUE MOOMBA MASTERS INTERNATIONAL INVITATIONAL appeared first on Unleashed Wake Mag.

Orlando, FL (August 11, 2018) – It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of boating hall of fame member and industry icon Ralph C.Meloon at the age of 100.

The middle of three brothers, Ralph C.Meloon was seven years old when his father Walter C. Meloon moved the family from New Hampshire to Florida and started the Florida Variety Boat Company (now Correct Craft) in 1925. Meloon was involved with the company then and continued his involvement until his death.

While upholding the tradition established by his father of “Building boats to the glory of God,” Meloon held many positions at Correct Craft over the years including President, Executive Vice President, Treasurer, and Chairman of the Board. He was instrumental in helping shape Correct Craft for over ninety years. On August 11, at the age of 100, Meloon passed away leaving more than just a memory – he left a heritage that will never be forgotten.

During his tenure,Ralph C.Meloon served in many distinct roles and was instrumental in tracking down and paying all creditors back from the 1960 company bankruptcy. He also established the first grassroots water ski promotional program to pull water ski tournaments in the Midwest and shortly thereafter he developed the first water ski promotional program in the United States. Meloon, known as the face of Correct Craft for decades, traveled to 85 countries for the company building the Correct Craft brand and exporting waterskiing boats all around the world.

In recent years as Correct Craft has grown substantially, including acquiring new companies and entering new markets, Ralph C.Meloon was always encouraging the team. There was no one more excited to see the success of the Correct Craft team than Ralph Meloon.

“Ralph was truly an extraordinary man who always encouraged everyone he met; our team understands that the work we do today was built on his shoulders and we are incredibly saddened by this loss,” state Correct Craft President/CEO Bill Yeargin. “Personally, Ralph was a dear friend. He was always full of encouragement and many times he would pop in my office and say, ‘Betty and I prayed for you this morning, Bill.’ He rarely left my office without saying ‘We love you, Bill.’ As I have traveled the globe for our company, people from all over the world would ask me about Ralph Meloon. So, as we celebrate Ralph’s life, we recommit ourselves to the values that Ralph so embraced; faith, integrity, and family – those are the things that were important to Ralph,” added Yeargin.

LIQUID FORCE

“Relentless Innovation has been our driving force at LF since day one… Every year it keeps us focused on making the best products possible! Many times our new product ideas are a natural progression of what our team needs, as well as where they want to go with their riding… Then there are the BIG ideas – ones that take years to develop, the ones that send you back to the drawing board over and over until finally… you see the light.

(…)

We have created our most complete line ever – there is something in here for everyone, wherever you ride, and however you have fun holding onto the handle. And if dropping the line is your thing, our new surfers are the best boards for all styles we’ve ever produced.
