Clifford and former two-time world champ Andrew Adkison rounded out the contest podium, respectively. The 2009 Worlds served as the final event in both the King of Wake and Queen of Wake series. With today's wins, both Aaron Rathy and Dallas Friday were launched to the top of the series overall point standings, earning Rathy his first King of Wake crown and Friday her first Queen of Wake crown. Both riders received a cash bonus and a year's worth of bragging rights. During today's contest, Shaun Murray claimed the ROCKSTAR Best Trick Award for his massive Heelside 540 of off the U.S. Air Force kicker. The Award is a $1,000 cash prize. Defending world champ Reed Hansen of Groveland, Fla. faced off in a fierce five-man final today in the Pro Wakeskate division to win his third consecutive world title - the most any pro wakeskater has won in the history of the sport. Stuart Shinn and Brandon Thomas rounded out the podium. In the Jr. Pro Men's division, riders battled it out in a six-man final for the world title. All six riders threw down some impressive runs, but Aussie Mitch Langfield topped the competition to win his first World Championship. Daniel Powers and Steel Lafferty rounded out the contest podium, respectively. Channels: More Reed Hansen and Matt Manzari get down! Recently Reed Hansen and Matt Manzari came out to the projects to session the rail park. The water level has been abnormally high this year and most of the rails are quite small. Reed and Matt like to go big! Reed is one of the most consistent wakeskaters in the world. Wether its rails, boat or flat water Reed never fails to impress. One of Reed's newest tricks is popping kickflips onto rails. Who knows where Reed will take it from there. Flip tricks on Flip tricks out and the possibilities are endless. Matt Manzari just recently switched over to CWB boards after riding for Gator for as long as anyone can remember after Cassette closing down. Matt always seems to be on a bi-level and with the new dual level board from CWB Matt is right at home. In similar form to Reed, Matt also got down on the incline. Front bigs out, Frontboard 270 shuv out, Backbig out, Front shuv out and so many more the guys are unstoppable on the familiar incline. If you didn't already know Reed and Matt are best friends. If their in the same state I can tell you they are together. Riding together, hunting together, building their 4x4 trucks together, these guys are two peas in a pod. Its funny too that wakeskating was the common thing that brought them together in the beginning. So when your out riding this summer and meet another shredder who knows. You guys might end up being life long friends because of wakeskating.
