Ft. Worth, TX – The best of the best in the sport of wakeboarding and wakeskating were on display at the MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour presented by Chevrolet and GM Vortec engines. Stop NO. 2 of the 2004 season kicked off in front of a fired-up crowd at Ft. Worth's Marine Creek Park on Saturday.
Saturday marks the first time the Pro Wakeboard Tour unveiled the elite format where athletes have to qualify into the event to compete. With stacked heats of the best riders in the world facing off, the competition for spots into Sunday's final rounds was tight.

Hampson is looking to make it two wins in a row after winning in Orlando earlier this year. Brian Grubb, the 2003 SeaDoo watercraft Pro Wakeskate Series champion failed to qualify for the first time.
After Ft. Worth, the Pro Wakeboard Tour will continue throughout North America with three additional stops including: Reno, Nevada, June 5-6; Kelowna, British Columbia Canada, June 9-11 and the final event in Irvine, California July 17-18.
