On Sunday, May 31st the city of Edmonton was home to the site of something special; the Coors Light Wake Wave presented by West Edmonton Mall's World Water Park. The world's largest indoor wakeboard festival hosted in North America's largest mall. If we're talking volume of water, the Coors Light Wake Wave was approximately ten times larger than the Amsterdam Winch Jam that went off at the Toronto Boat show.
The event featured eight riders, seven of which were from the Coors Light wakeboard team riding in the water park's wave pool; Bradey Price, Brad Buskas, Carter Moore, Chris Canuel, Fraser Snell, Kyle Dupris, Leighton Ramsey (Coors wakeboard team) and Evan Stait.
The rail jam portion ended somewhat prematurely after the slider sustained too much damage. Just when things were getting good, they got different. After the rail was pulled out of the wave pool, it was time for staff to turn on the waves. At this point, the riders were winched into waves where they exploded off of them much like they would a wake.
When the revelry was all said and done, Bradey Price took 1st and Brad Buskas was close on his heels with 2nd place.
