Tom Fooshee, the winningest rider in cable wakeboard history, and arguably the best all around wakeboarder will be hosting Stokemeter live on Tuesday March 23rd. In the last two years Tom Fooshee has won just about every cable title possible but his accomplishments don’t stop there. Tom has also won a handful of boat, winch and obstacle only competitions on his way to winning the overall Ultimite Wake title in the Philipines last year as well as being the outstanding overall rider at TSR’s cablestock multiple times.

Tom will be hosting his first stokemeter ever and answering questions about all types of wakeboarding and the growth of the sport. Tom will also be giving away a ton of FREE SWAG from his sponsors for those who can answer his savvy trivia questions. You won’t have to be smarter than a 5th grader, just smarter than Tom Fooshee who recently graduated from Texas State University. The live broadcast will take place from Texas Ski Ranch where Tom has developed his riding skills over the past five years and has recently purchased a home just a few minutes away. (Thanks to all the international tournaments with large prize purses that Tom has dominated for making that possible.) If you have ever been to TSR you have probably met Tom and know what a great guy he is, if not this is a great opportunity to get to know one of the best riders in our sport and ask him just about anything.

This will also be a great opportunity to get some FREE SWAG from Liquid Force, Reef, Helium and Texas Ski Ranch. You will also get a chance to see the Limited Edition Fooshee boards that TSR will be using this year in their rental room.

To view the live broadcast just log onto www.stokemeter.com or www.cablewakeboard.com at 8pm Tuesday March 23rd. To see Tom Fooshee ride you can catch him training at Texas Ski Ranch on most days or attend one of the events he will be competeing at this spring:

Good news for everyone that’s looking to keep their icy beverages cool this summer! Liquid Force would like to lend a hand with two new coozies. The LF coozie is for when you need to be professional and on your best behavior, while the 12 before 12 coozie (aka Aaron Reed Pro-Model) is for when you want to get a little loose and let it all hang out…

Snag a sick pack of cozies for some good times this summer!

2010 Limited Bindings are here!! Liquid Force would like to introduce the Limited Shane, Ultra, and Watson. Featuring new limited edition graphics, the Shane and Watson also feature a new Quick Lace system!

The Quick Lace system is a one piece system that has you in and out before you know it!

The Henshaw rail event at the East Coast Wake Park this past weekend was a fantastic success. Four days of rain stopped promptly at 8am on Saturday morning, making for a dry day with 70 degree weather. The rail was amazing. The finished product was an 80 ft long stepped up A-frame, with a 32 ft x 10 ft wall ride. Henny was stoked, as was the crowd of 200+ spectators and riders that came out to the park to ride, and watch Kevin shred his new rail design. Most riders jumped at the chance to demo the new Liquid Force FLX and Watson Hybrid boards, which were in constant demand all day long. Monster Energy brought out the Monster girls and plenty of free refreshment, and Pro Tec and Nike 6.0 provided a slew of helmets and shoes for a raffle to help support the park. On Friday evening prior to the event, Kevin signed autographs and talked to fans at the Overton’s retail store in Greenville. In the end, despite some rail construction challenges late in the week due to the weather, the final product is likely the largest, most technical and most fun rail in the region. Thanks to the East Coast Wake Park, Overtons, and Chris and Stacey Hopf for their great hospitality, as well as to everyone who turned out to ride and enjoy the day on Saturday. And, huge props go out to Chris, Geoffrey Barnes, Fields Johnson, and Justin Lambert for providing their labor on the rail construction, and their non-stop comedy to keep us completely entertained!
