Édito – La route vers les Jeux, entre opportunités et défis

Brisbane 2032 : Pendant des années, l’idée d’un wakeboard olympique relevait de la discussion entre riders, autour d’une bière après une session. Puis, les rumeurs ont enflé dans les coulisses des compétitions. Aujourd’hui, le rêve se concrétise : l’Olympisme n’est plus une utopie, mais un chantier en pleine construction.

Lors du dernier Congrès de l’IWWF à Londres, le message était clair : le cable wakeboarding n’a jamais été aussi proche des Jeux. Pour démêler le vrai du faux, Unleashed Wakeboard Magazine vous fait un petit résumé des échanges avec  Lisa Baloo et C-Lo (Carlo dDela Torre New president of IWWF asia ), deux acteurs clés lors de cette réunion . Voici leur analyse, sans langue de bois.

1. LE RÉVEIL : FINI LES SPÉCULATIONS, PLACE À L’ACTION

Lisa et C-Lo étaient dans la salle quand José Antonio Pérez, président de l’IWWF, a détaillé les échanges avec le CIO. Le verdict est sans appel : ce n’est plus une hypothèse, mais un processus engagé.

La différence avec les tentatives passées ? Le CIO connaît désormais le wakeboard. Plus besoin d’expliquer ce qu’est un rail ou un kicker : la question n’est plus la visibilité, mais l’organisation.

2. POURQUOI LE CABLE SÉDUIT LE CIO

Le wake a explosé ces vingt dernières années : parcs en Asie, en Amérique du Sud, riders de plus en plus techniques, équipes nationales structurées… Les bases sont là.

Mais c’est le cable qui coche toutes les cases de l’Agenda 2020+5 du CIO :

✅ Écologie : Moins d’empreinte carbone que le boat.

✅ Accessibilité : Plus de spots, plus faciles à installer.

✅ Infrastructure : Compact, adaptable aux villes.

✅ Jeunesse : Un sport qui parle aux nouvelles générations.

Comme le résume Lisa Baloo : « Le cable répond parfaitement aux critères du CIO. » Ajoutez à cela des systèmes électriques fiables et des conditions contrôlées (pas de vent, pas de vagues), et vous obtenez un sport “télégénique” et planifiable – un argument clé pour les diffuseurs.

3. LE DÉFI MAJEUR : L’UNITÉ FACE À LA FRAGMENTATION

C’est le point noir du wake : IWWF, WWA, tours indépendants, événements locaux… Chaque acteur a sa valeur, mais pour le CIO, c’est un casse-tête.

• Règles différentes selon les compétitions.
• Calendriers qui se chevauchent.
• Parcours athlètes dispersés.

Lisa le souligne : « Cette diversité a fait notre richesse, mais l’Olympisme exige de la coordination. » C-Lo ajoute : « Moins de friction, plus de dialogue, des structures claires. Une direction commune, sans uniformiser notre culture. »

Leçon de l’histoire : En boxe, la fragmentation a failli coûter son statut olympique. L’unité n’est pas une bureaucratie, mais une nécessité.

4. L’IWWF : LA VOIE OBLIGÉE VERS LES JO

Seule la fédération IWWF est reconnue par le CIO. C’est sous son égide que les standards olympiques se construisent :

✔ Anti-dopage (conforme WADA).

✔ Règles unifiées.

✔ Juges formés.

✔ Qualifications internationales.

Les étapes clés :

• World Games 2025 et 2029 (tests grandeur nature).
• Para Wake (en cours de reconnaissance par le Comité Paralympique).

5. L’ARGUMENT ÉCONOMIQUE : POURQUOI LES JO SONT UNE CHANCE

C-Lo met le doigt sur un problème crucial : l’économie du wake est fragile.

• Les riders sont plus forts que jamais, mais qui peut en vivre ?
• Les marques souffrent (coûts de production, logistique, inflation).
• Les vues Instagram ne paient pas les factures.

Les JO, c’est bien plus que des médailles :

Sponsors externes (au-delà de la niche wake).

Financements publics (accès aux infrastructures, budgets nationaux).

Stabilité (pour les athlètes, les marques, les parcs).

6. L’EFFET SNOWBOARD : UNE LEÇON À RETENIR

Dans les années 90, le snowboard était comme le wake aujourd’hui :

• Culture underground.
• Événements indépendants (Air & Style, US Open).
• Structures désorganisées.

1994 : La FIS prend les rênes. 1998 : Nagano, première apparition aux JO.

Résultat : ✅ Visibilité mondiale. ✅ Financements. ✅ Professionnalisation des athlètes.

Y a-t-il eu des tensions avec la scène “core” ? Oui. Mais les JO n’ont pas tué le snow, ils l’ont élargi. Aujourd’hui, culture et haute performance coexistent.

7. LA FEUILLE DE ROUTE POUR BRISBANE 2032

Pas de magie : la route vers les JO se gagne par le travail. Voici ce qui doit changer :

Renforcer les fédérations nationales (des interlocuteurs pro pour les riders).

Qualifications claires (chaque athlète doit savoir comment se qualifier).

Harmonisation des règles (standardisation mondiale des formats).

Calendrier cohérent (éviter les chevauchements d’événements).

Détection de talents (programmes structurés pour la relève).

Communication externe (expliquer le wake aux médias et institutions).

La maturité olympique, c’est la répétition de structures fiables, pas un coup d’éclat.

8. CONCLUSION : GRANDIR SANS SE PERDRE

Les discussions avec le CIO sont concrètes, les structures se professionnalisent. Les JO peuvent apporter stabilité et visibilité à un écosystème qui en a cruellement besoin.

La peur est légitime : « Les JO vont-ils diluer notre culture ? »

La réponse du snowboard est claire : grandir ne signifie pas perdre son âme. Lifestyle, créativité, événements indépendants et haut niveau peuvent coexister – et même se renforcer.

La vraie question n’est pas “Les JO sont-ils bons ou mauvais ?

“ Mais : “Sommes-nous prêts à travailler ensemble pour bâtir une industrie stable, sans renier ce qui fait notre essence ?”

À nous de jouer.

Camsur Watersports Complex (CWC): A Wakeboarding Paradise in Pili, Philippines

CWC Wakepark Resurgence 2024: Nestled in the heart of the Bicol region, the Camsur Watersports Complex (CWC) in Pili, Philippines, is a premier destination for wakeboarding enthusiasts from around the globe. Since its inception, CWC has grown to become a vital hub for cable wakeboarding, attracting both professional athletes and amateurs eager to experience its world-class facilities. This article delves into the history, significance, and impact of CWC on the global wakeboarding scene, while also celebrating the individuals who have played key roles in keeping this iconic sports complex thriving.

The Birth of a Wakeboarding Mecca

CWC was established with the vision of promoting tourism in the province of Camarines Sur, with a specific focus on water sports. The brainchild of former Governor Luis Raymund “Lray” Villafuerte Jr., CWC opened its doors in 2006. The goal was to create a facility that could compete on an international level, offering top-notch amenities for both casual visitors and professional wakeboarders. What started as a bold vision quickly became a reality, transforming a once quiet town into a bustling center of activity and a beacon for sports tourism in the Philippines.

World-Class Facilities and Offerings

The Camsur Watersports Complex is renowned for its state-of-the-art cable park, which is considered one of the best in the world. The complex features a six-point cable system, which allows wakeboarders to practice and perform tricks with ease. The park is designed to cater to all skill levels, from beginners taking their first ride to seasoned professionals looking to hone their craft.

In addition to wakeboarding, CWC offers a variety of other water sports, including wakeskating, water skiing, and knee boarding. The complex also boasts a number of additional amenities, such as a pro shop, dining facilities, and accommodations ranging from budget-friendly cabins to luxury villas. The scenic backdrop of Mount Isarog and the surrounding greenery further enhances the overall experience, making CWC not just a sports complex but a complete vacation destination.

A Hub for International Competitions

CWC’s reputation as a top-tier wakeboarding venue has led to its selection as the host for numerous international competitions. The complex has hosted events such as the World Wakeboarding Championships and the International Wakeboarding and Waterski Federation (IWWF) World Cup. These events have drawn athletes from around the world, further cementing CWC’s status as a key player in the global wakeboarding community.

One of the most significant aspects of these competitions is the exposure they provide for Filipino athletes. CWC has become a training ground for local wakeboarders, giving them the opportunity to compete against some of the best in the world on home turf. This has led to a growing interest in the sport within the Philippines, with more young people taking up wakeboarding as a serious pursuit.

Celebrating the Athletes and Visionaries with this new Opus

CWC has been graced by the presence of some of the biggest names in wakeboarding. Among these are Graeme Burress, JB O’Neill, Ile Vegni, Sam Dehaan, and Konni Lehndorff. These athletes have not only showcased their incredible skills at CWC but have also helped elevate the complex’s profile through their participation in events and their promotion of the facility on social media and other platforms.

Graeme Burress, known for his daring tricks and innovative riding style, has been a frequent visitor to CWC. His performances at the complex have left lasting impressions on both spectators and fellow athletes alike. JB O’Neill, another prominent figure in the wakeboarding world, has also been instrumental in highlighting CWC’s offerings through his widely-followed online presence.

The contributions of these athletes are matched by the dedication of the individuals who have kept CWC thriving. The Villafuerte family, led by Lray Villafuerte, along with his sons Migz and Luigi, have been pivotal in maintaining and expanding the complex. Their commitment to the facility and to the promotion of wakeboarding in the Philippines has been unwavering. Through their efforts, CWC has not only survived but thrived, continuing to attract visitors and athletes from all corners of the globe.

The Future of CWC

As CWC approaches nearly two decades of operation, it shows no signs of slowing down. The complex continues to evolve, with plans for further expansion and the addition of new facilities to enhance the visitor experience. The ongoing support from the Villafuerte family ensures that CWC will remain a key player in the world of wakeboarding for years to come.

The future of CWC also lies in its ability to inspire the next generation of wakeboarders. With the increasing popularity of the sport in the Philippines, CWC is poised to become a breeding ground for new talent. The complex’s role in hosting competitions and providing top-notch training facilities will undoubtedly contribute to the development of more world-class Filipino wakeboarders.

CWC Wakepark Resurgence

Hello Fam!

We’re buzzing with excitement after an absolutely EPIC summer spent on the water at parks across the globe. The “Summer of Sling” tour took us to over 70 incredible stops worldwide, where we built up some serious hype, reconnected with friends, and celebrated our shared passion for wakeboarding at some of our favorite parks. Now, as summer winds down, we’re thrilled to introduce some of the most stunning wakeboards and boots we’ve ever crafted. It’s been a season to remember, and we can’t wait to show you what’s in store.

So, what’s new for SLINGSHOT 2025? You’re in for a treat. Our RAD and JEWEL boots are leading the charge this year with a game-changing feature: brand-new removable liners. These liners are designed for those moments when you want to take a stroll along the park shores without sacrificing the comfort and support you’ve come to expect from your favorite wake boots. Whether you’re taking a break between sets or just enjoying the scenery, these liners make it easier than ever to transition from the water to the shore and back again.

And that’s not all—2025 is also seeing the return of a fan favorite: the Johnny Rocket. This time, it’s back in black and available in a full range of sizes to suit every rider. The Johnny Rocket has always been a crowd-pleaser, and we’re pumped to offer it again with some fresh new updates that are sure to get you stoked for your next ride.

Another exciting addition this year is the introduction of the PRO Gummies straps.

Are you ready yet?

MUNICH MASH 2024 : On Friday, 2 August, it’s ‘doors open’ in the Olympic Park! The MASH Fest opens at 1.00 pm with all its offers.
On the sporting side, the Red Bull Pool Drop skateboard contest qualification is on the programme from 4.00 pm and the wakeboarding team contest from 7.00 pm. There will also be a last chance for all ambitious dancers to become part of MASH from 4.00 pm. This is when they can register for the preselection for the street dance contest. The preselection itself starts at 6.00 pm.
In the evening, the Crux Pistols will provide the right groove: the Munich DJ greats and former operators of the former hip-hop cult club Crux in the Zerwirkgewölbe, Dan Gerous and Not F.X., will be playing at MASH Square from 9.00 pm.

The home of action sports: 10 years of MASH

True to the motto “coming home”, the Munich Action Sports Heroes will be returning to the Olympic Park from 2 to 4 August, transforming the venue once again into a world of high-class sports and cultural diversity.

10 years ago – in 2014 – MASH celebrated its premiere. Since then, the action sports festival has become an unmissable event in the Olympic Park. All Munich locals and action sports fans should mark this year’s dates in their calendars, as the 2024 edition will again feature spectacular contests in BMX, skateboarding, wakeboarding, and street dance, as well as the revamped MASH Fest, which for the first time will see Germany’s best 3×3 basketball players competing for the national cup.

“We proudly look back on 10 years of  Munich MASH 2024 and are very much looking forward to this year’s edition at the beginning of August. It is in the DNA of this successful Olympic Park event to offer something new and surprising every time, to feature elite sports and to showcase the action sports lifestyle in a unique way. Over the past decade, MASH has developed into a highlight in the international event calendar that is highly regarded by the athletes and loved by the audience. It will be the same again in 2024,” says Olympic Park Director Marion Schöne, adding, “The fact that we have been able to develop and establish this event in such a way is in no small part down to the support of the City of Munich and many strong partners, whom I would like to express my thanks to.” Munich’s Sports Mayor Verena Dietl says: “Action sports are very close to my heart, and as the state capital we support these sports in many ways. Considering what an event highlight MASH has become over the last 10 years and how well received the event is, especially among the younger generation, any support has been worthwhile. I’m greatly looking forward to this year’s edition and three days full of excitement and enthusiasm.”

A record 92,000 visitors flocked to the park last year and were inspired by the exceptional atmosphere. The sporting action picks up seamlessly in August 2024 – the public can get in the spirit for these four contests:

Skateboarding is the bedrock in the MASH context. International athletes have been inspiring audiences with their skills since 2015. This year, they will provide that outdoor pool feeling. Red Bull Pool Drop brings the most talented and creative international skateboarders from the street and bowl disciplines to Munich. The name says it all: The athletes are allowed to present their skateboard performance on a brand-new swimming pool-style set-up on the Olympic Lake. Familiar pool elements will turn the swimmers’ paradise into a skateboard paradise. International world elite will meet local heroes.

Athletes will experience a revival in the BMX contest. Just like in 2017, they will move their contest to Hans-Jochen-Vogel-Platz and show off their skills on the spine ramp, surrounded by crowds of spectators who could hardly be any closer to the action. The spine ramp is the most dynamic and one of the most prestigious events in BMX freestyle. Those who excel here have the best prerequisites for BMX freestyle park – the discipline that will be contested at the Olympics for a second time this year in Paris. With an area of 250 square meters and a height of up to four meters, it is the perfect “playground” for the 12 BMX stars competing in Munich.

Wakeboarding has been part of the MASH program since 2016 and once again promises plenty of action on a spectacular set-up on the Olympic Lake. In addition to the individual women’s and men’s events, there will once again be a team contest. Julia Rick, “newcomer” Nils Ritzmann, Nico von Lerchenfeld (all three from Germany) and last year’s winners Pedro Caldas (BRA) and Lisa Baloo (ISR) are among those who have already registered for this year’s contest.

The street dance contest at the Theatron will be returning for a second stint. The dancers made their official competition debut in 2023, dancing their way into visitors’ hearts and proving that street dance and MASH are a match made in heaven. Two events are also on the agenda this year: International Breaking 2vs2 Mixed and International All Style Mixed 7-to-smoke. Both categories will be contested by invited international top dancers as well as performers qualifying via pre-selection.

From the very beginning, MASH has been a top-class, international sporting event, but not just that. The secret of its success has always been the combination of thrilling action sports and a complementary program highlighting the lifestyle and culture of the scene. For its 10th anniversary, things will be no different – and even better: themed “coming home”, the revamped MASH Fest will embrace the visitors with plenty of joie de vivre. A casual chill-out area is perfect for lingering and relaxing, while a variety of activities such as skateboarding, dance and graffiti workshops promise an unforgettable experience. From tasty treats and music to artistic performances, there will be something to tickle all the senses. The ING 3×3 Champions Trophy, the German Cup in 3×3 basketball, has been added to the program as a new side event this year, and the legendary after-party on Saturday evening is not to be missed either. The MASH Fest simply provides the perfect setting for guests to come together, get creative, relax, and take in all the action in one place.

Guenther Oka Takes Wakeboarding to New Extremes in the Florida Everglades

The thrill of wakeboarding takes a wild turn in the latest adventure featuring professional wakeboarder Guenther Oka. Known for pushing the boundaries of the sport, Oka’s newest escapade sees him exploring the expansive wetlands of the Florida Everglades, towed not by a typical boat, but by a roaring airboat. This exhilarating ride, set in a region where over 30% of Florida’s area is made up of wetlands, offers a fresh and thrilling perspective on both wakeboarding and this unique natural habitat.

The Florida Everglades, a vast and sprawling ecosystem, presents the perfect backdrop for this high-octane adventure. The airboat, a vehicle synonymous with the Everglades due to its ability to navigate shallow, vegetation-rich waters, proves to be an exceptional partner in crime for Oka. It provides the necessary speed and power to create the perfect wake for boarding, all while manoeuvring through narrow waterways and dense foliage that are inaccessible to most other boats.

Guenther Oka | Wake Glades

Guenther Oka’s journey through these wild wetlands is not just a test of his wakeboarding prowess but also an opportunity to interact with one of the most unique ecosystems on the planet. As Oka skims across the water, he is surrounded by the rich biodiversity of the Everglades. From herons taking flight at the water’s edge to alligators lurking beneath the surface, the natural inhabitants of this area add an element of awe and unpredictability to the experience.

The video capturing this journey is nothing short of spectacular. It showcases Oka performing incredible tricks and jumps against the lush, untamed backdrop of the Everglades. The footage is interspersed with breathtaking shots of the scenery and wildlife, highlighting the stark contrast between the aggressive athleticism of wakeboarding and the serene natural beauty of the surroundings.

This wakeboarding session goes beyond conventional sporting videos by integrating the elements of speed, nature, and adrenaline-fueled excitement. The airboat’s powerful engine echoes through the wetlands, creating a symphony of nature and machine that adds to the rawness of the adventure. The viewer is left with a palpable sense of the speed and skill involved, as Oka masters the unpredictable waters whipped up by the airboat.

Moreover, the video serves as a vivid reminder of the Everglades’ fragility and the importance of conserving such unique environments. It juxtaposes human innovation and nature’s grandeur, inviting viewers to consider the impact of their recreational activities on the world’s natural wonders.

Guenther Oka’s airboat-towed ride through the Everglades is not just a showcase of wakeboarding talent but a bold statement on the fusion of sport and environment. For enthusiasts and novices alike, this video is a call to explore and appreciate the wild spaces around us in new and exciting ways. It challenges the conventions of water sports, making us rethink what is possible on a wakeboard while prompting us to keep an eye out for the gators lurking below.
