Get the crowd a little wet

Since its inception in 2008, Wake The Line has established itself as the biggest and most important Wakeboarding and Wakeskating Event of the year as rider Shawn Watson (USA) says: "You are surrounded by fans. That's what matters. Usually you have a large amount of people watching the event from the distant beach. But here it is totally different. You can even get the crowd a little wet, if you get too close to them. It pushes you, being so close to the crowd.“

The combined pools will be turned into a 1000ft long Wakeboarding Arena, providing athletes as well as spectators some amazing thrills. Top German Wakeboarder Steffen Vollert, said: "The park is great. The obstacles are gorgeous and the guys over at UNIT Parktech are sick!"

With this upcoming event, UNIT Parktech will strengthen its status as the biggest wakeboarding obstacle manufacturer in the world, amongst giving the wakeboaring sport a new platform to rise.

The growth of the event comes as OʼNeill join Wake The Line this year as the new title sponsor. The Californian active sports brand signed a 2-year contract to be the title sponsor of this extraordinary event. Meanwhile, Relentless also joined forces with Wake The Line, completing the package.

Johannes Degenhardt, founder of Wake The Line said: "We are glad to be having strong partners in the game. Our plan is to solidify our partnerships with O'Neill and Relentless, managing the main sponsoring as well as brand communication."

“With this new sponsorship we are excited to not only be putting on such a spectacular and important event, but also to be helping contribute to the development and growth of the sport,” said Eppo van Berckelaer, OʼNeill Global Marketing Director.
