Free For All rolled into Wake Nation Houston this past Sunday for stop #2 of the 2012 tour. The event kicked off at 10am, but by 9am the crowd was building along with their anticipation… A full spectrum of LF boards was on hand to satisfy both beginners and seasoned vets. The large crowd was rewarded with great weather and all kinds of FREEbies – from FREE New Era event caps, to FREE event t-shirts, FREE Monster Energy, to FREE swag from GoPro, Sanuk, Spy, etc. LF’s Tom Fooshee, Aaron Reed, and Stefan Schriewer were right in the middle of it all, helping give tips, signing autographs, and shredding the park! Over 275 riders hit the water throughout the day, with over 150 of them calling Free For All their first day at Wake Nation! Event #2 was a HUGE success, big thank you to Luke and the Wake Nation Houston crew for helping us spread the stoke! Liquid Force’s Free For All tour could not happen without the support of our amazing sponsors Monster Energy, Axis Wake Research, New Era, Spy Optic, Sanuk, Frends, GoPro, and Transworld WakeBoarding.

We’re heading east to Ski Rixen this Saturday May 26th and McCormick’s Cable Park May 27th… See you soon!
