Wakeboard Comp. in Chico, CA - Team IWS Rider, Julie Robinson

Julie Robinson, one of our Team IWS riders, just returned from the Collegiate Wakeboard Series Competition in Chico, CA. This was the 4th stop in the Wake Series tour.

Chico State was the co-host of this regional event. This year, the division nearly doubled in size: there were 80 riders from 7 schools. The event was held at a private lake, and all the teams got a chance to meet each other and celebrate what Empire U is claiming to be the best division in the country for 2011.

Julie placed 2nd in the women's division behind Madison Luell from Oregon (pictured below)

Reggae Rail Jam 2011


Idaho Water Sports will be hosting the sixth annual Rail Jam on Saturday, October 29th in the Idaho Water Sports parking lot in Burley, ID. We will be trucking in snow from Pomerelle to allow anyone to ride the powder before winter really sets in. This competition always gets everyone excited for the snow to start coming down.

Competitors from all over the area come to IWS to participate in this event. There will be an open session from 11 am to 2 pm, where anyone can ride the rails for just $10 - plus get a beanie. The competition begins at 2:30pm and runs until 4pm. It only costs $10 to compete. We will be giving away some great prizes including headphones from Skull Candy, ski poles, shirts, hats, and helmets from Burton, K2, Rossignol and more; and even ski passes to Pomerelle.

We are excited to introduce the addition of a slack line; new to the competition this year.

For safety, all riders under 18 must have parents sign a waiver. Also, all riders are required to wear a helmet.

We hope to have a great turnout at the Reggae Rail Jam this year. Come join us at Idaho Water Sports.

We be jammin' on the rails, man!
