It's been a fun week here in NZ with the inaugural King of the Show rail jam. It was somewhat of a revelation for myself though that winter is well and truly here and thus my wakeboarding days are over for the time being. On a brighter note, it looks like the weather was perfect for the first Pro Wake Tour stop, Enjoy!

Those that braved the rain and the wind last night down at the 2012 Hutchwilco Boat Show were treated to an array of some of our best wakeboarders battling it out for the inaugural "King of the Show" title and with it the tidy little purse of $750 cash!

Check out some of the lines in this video, Mark Kenney was ahead of his time!

I just watched Lipsmack for the first time and my opinions will change if I watch it again so I'll write this now while I have some fresh ideas and a desire to shine some light on whether you to should spend the $15 for the HD iTunes download as I did.

Here's what we've picked for you for the week that was in the eye of the gram, it looks like things are really starting to heat up on the other side of the world. I must admit i'm a little bit jealous as its getting cooler and cooler here!

Alright we're going to run an exclusive new feature over the whole of winter called; What i'm Rocking.

It's simple really, each week we will take one local NZ rider and simply let you know what they're rocking!

Here's a little video of local boys Regan Carlyon and Brad Haakma! Who said it was getting too cold?

Edited by Guy Mac, cheers for the clip boys!

Wakeskate Nationals were another huge success this year, check out some of the photos from the day, thanks to Riley Bathurst!

Check out this little edit sent through to us from Matt Burns, still cold there apparently but won't be long until their waters warm up and Matt is spending a lot more time on the water so look out for much more from this guy over the next few months!
