WIT Productions put on a killer show on April 17th with the premiere of their newest wakeboarding video “Hi-Light”. It was a full house of people who all had at least 2 things in common: a love for wakeboarding and a desire to chill with friends at evo. With a huge screen suspended from the ceiling, music bumpin and drinks to go round, it was definitely a night to remember.

Our content team just launched several “Expert Advice” wakeboarding articles. This content will be peppered throughout the wakeboard shop, on shopping pages, in the wake outlet, in our help center, on product pages, and in search results pages (to name a few).
The articles are thorough, comprehensive, and altogether delicious. Learn what about no stretch ropes, USCG Life Vests, and more. The full list:
Our hope is that this content will support customers as they shop for wake gear. The guides were written by our professional writer (ahem, Kate), reviewed by expert riders, “thumbs-upped” by industry partners, and given final edits from a skilled copy editor (Sunny).
