Oakley Sports

Watch as the wakeboarding industry assembles to celebrate the best in wake for 2009. See Amber Wing’s first ever heelside 720 win her a diamond Oakley watch. And 2009’s King of Wake Aaron Rathy win his first Best Wakeboarder award, and watch the Wake Awards crowd go crazy when Rathy’s melon heelside backside 1080 wins the Oakley Wakeboarding Move of the Year.

Rathy has made himself one of the hardest working athletes in the industry, and he isn’t slowing down. Hungry and thriving off his success, from the spotlight aimed directly on him, to the financial stability his career is providing him.

Oakley team rider George Daniels took home a victory this past weekend at Fort Worth’s Trinity Park in Texas. The event was built around a dam leading into the rapids with a kicker, incline, flat box and wall ride added for good measure. The format was set up for best trick on each obstacle, with the winner of each taking home a thousand dollars. Daniel’s flawless, first try frontside flip into the rapids took home the cash for him, but he also impressed with his boardslide shuv frontside flip down the spillway.
