WHAT’S WKBND ?
WKBND (Wakebound) it’s OUTBND’s First-ever physical event. OUTBND’s Goal since the beginning was to create amazing experiences for its users: as a lifestyle+tech company, we believe running a physical competition is an amazing opportunity to create hybrid events and keep the community excited. What do we mean by Hybrid? Well WKBND is a Head to Head wakeboard competition, where athletes will compete to decide who’s the best athlete, BUT as they compete in the physical world they’ll have a digital contest through OUTBND’s challenge feature, where wakeboarders from all around the world will be the judges! We wanted WAKEBND to be “open” to everyone, which is why we have no age limit and we took out air tricks, which can sometimes be a barrier to entry. We wanted to create an event where people had to push behind the “boundaries” of their wakeboarding.
WHY TURIN WAKEPARK ?
Having to create an event like WKBND means having one of a kind wake park with features that allow athletes to really push their limits: No park in Italy does that better than Turin Wakepark, with among other features, the biggest (stationary) Snowramp in the World and an amazing wallride transition, both custom-built! But it’s never just about the race: it’s about people and the environment! We wanted to have a place where we could fully express the spirit of OUTBND and Turin Wakepark was the perfect spot to have a killer competition and entertain the community, allowing riders and spectators to enjoy the event at its best!
WHAT’S OUTBND?
OUTBND is the Social Network made by action sports lovers for action sports lovers. We allow Adrenaline Junkies to share their passion and compete with one another, while providing businesses a way to create a meaningful conversation with their clients. In a world governed by a “like model”, content becomes redundant and the need to go viral pushes people to literally follow trends or do crazy things. By using the platform, users will only see content within sports categories of their choosing, allowing them to spend less time looking for content and more time doing what they love. By creating the “challenge feature” we made it easier for people to share content around specific topics. This translates into more easily targeted interactions for businesses, who can use the same feature to run giveaways to sponsor their products or to embed the content of a challenge onto their website. Our motto is “Ride.Share.Repeat.” and that is because our integration with other platforms makes it easier to share, redirect or import from them, reducing the time an athlete needs to spend managing multiple profiles
