We've all been wondering about the 2009 King of Wake schedule. Well, as a little teaser, World Sports and Marketing has given us the green light on the Air Nautique Wake Games, presented by Rockstar Energy Drink. Wake Games will be held at OWC (for those that don't know, Orlando Watersports Complex) from April 23-26. If you haven't heard about this event before, you should have. Let me fill you in.

I like Wake Games because it's in Orlando and a lot of pro riders show up to throw down. Since the majority of my shred friends live in Orlando, it means I get to catch up riders' family and friends too. It's at the beginning of the season, so for me, it's like a reunion with the folks I haven't seen over the winter months.

Wake Games is also a rad way to kick off your summer riding. It's a team event with each team comprised of amateur and pro shredders alike. No matter what your skill level, there's a division for you. Each division and competitor counts toward the total team score at the end of the event, which means you're helping out your team and pro rider captain. Wake Games is basically the best opportunity to show up your friends and show off your new steez at the beginning of the King of Wake season.

The vibe is mellow and focused on having a good time on the water and in the sun at Wake Games. But don't get me wrong, it you're looking for more than a relaxing day on the water you can either shred yourself or brush up on those middle school math skills by tabulating team points throughout the competition.

If you're still confused about the shenanigans and good times that are the Air Nautique Wake Games, presented by Rockstar Energy Drink, just add a blog post and I'll answer your confusion.
