WAXTHAT is world’s first wakeskate and wakeboard wax. They are located in The Netherlands. Since they’re riders with a lot of passion, they developed wax for the best performance in wakeparks and winches.

Last summer, ambassadors of the brand, travelled around Belgium and The Netherlands to winch urban spots. Out of this awesome trip, they made an edit which will be published at the end of October in the wake market. Since it’s not published yet, Ride On Film festival will be the first to show ‘WAXTHAT Winch Tour’!

Riders: Daniel Grant, Victor Salmon, Antoni van der Wekken, Dirk Gideonse

Crane and shipping containers transform Croatian port in wakeboarding first by Red Bull

Here’s a first for everything.

And three wakeboarders have pulled off a first with a twist for their sport, using a crane to shift them over a floating course made up of obstacles and kickers created entirely out of shipping containers.

German duo Dominik Gührs and Felix Georgi, and Austrian Dominik Hernler were inspired to come up with the project after watching a water skier being put through their paces in a YouTube clip.

And the trio designed, built and then rode the course, set up at Uljanik Pula Wharf in Pula, Croatia.

In a first for wakeboarding, the trio were dragged along with a floating crane welded to a platform rather than a cable, and converted their shipping props into a 360-degree obstacle course, in a sense an aqua playground for grown-ups.

Key to that was another first, a flying obstacle, which all three wakeboarders initially struggled to master but which became central to their fun and games.

“There has never been a levitating obstacle in wakeboarding ever, which is why none of us have ever ridden anything like it,” explained Gührs.

“And wakeboarding on a crane is incredibly cool. Combining it with container obstacles both in the water and in the air is just crazy and something completely new in our sport.”

Thanks to the help of five industrial divers, the shipping containers – converted with floating devices – were positioned into place using 28 anchors each weighing 800 kilograms. In all, the build process alone took 10 solid days of work.

The crux to the whole project, though, was to find the right crane for their purpose, a search that took the trio to different corners of Europe.

Georgii recalled: “Finding the right crane was like searching for a needle in a haystack. For a long time, it seemed like this needle wasn’t even existing. After searching the ports of Hamburg, Rotterdam and Istanbul, we finally struck it rich in Pula.”

Sports of tomorrow seem already democratized: three teams play with a giant balloon, making tribal speedminton in the dark, alternate between boxing and chess or downright ride a canoe, we already had a complete overview what we will do on Sunday in the future. But of all slide sports you would expect, the first of the list certainly remains hoverboard! Skate of tomorrow will be levitating ? The answer is yes ! First, because the first true antigravity board was invented, but mostly because Tony Hawk himself put it is!

Great figure of world skateboarding, inventor of all the more complex tricks , the famous “Birdman” is primarily due its reputation from its famous 900 ! Yes, Tony Hawk loves to fly, and he loves the loops! And what better than to get on a plane dedicated to the training of astronauts to go to defy the laws of gravity? Unsurprisingly, Tony Hawk did it, well, with a little trouble at first try, anyway , he did it …..
