Grubb Defends The Wakestock Title A record 35,000 spectators jammed the Beach for four days of boarding, bands and bikinis at Wakestock World Cup 2003, confirming its reputation as the worldıs largest wakeboard event and Canadaıs premier action- sports and music festival.
From World Cup wakeboarding to the Extreme Music Stage; from the Mars Bar Skatepark to Nintendo Freestyle Motocross; from the Extreme Sport Series Kiteboarding to the finals of the Miss Reef Canada Bikini Contest, Wakestock 2003 continued its tradition of non-stop, jam-packed action.
The Extreme Music Series was unleashed Friday afternoon, and 11 bands, including The Salads, BrassMunk, and Not By Choice, rocked the bandstage all weekend long. Canadian favourite Gob and L.A.ıs legendary Goldfinger stormed the stage Saturday evening, thrilling a frenzied, crowd-surfing audience. The party continued after hours Friday evening at The Dard nightclub for the sold-out Wakestock Boarderıs Bash featuring Kazzer and Choclair, and Saturday night for the Legendary Wakestock Beach Party.
Wakestockıs World Cup of Wakeboarding provided the action-sports backdrop,
as the worldıs best wakeboarders thrilled the largest crowd in the history of the sport. The Coors Light beachfront beer garden was at capacity as the worldıs top pros battled for over $40,000 and Wakestock titles in Pro
Railslide, Pro Expression Session and Pro Wakeskate.
Wakestock onced again elevated wakeboardingıs contest scene to new heights with the worldıs largest and most progressive collection of rails and jumps, including a spectacular, first ever rail start from a wake pool.
PRO WAKESKATE Floridaıs Brian Grubb defended his Wakestock Wakeskate title and further established his reputation as the premier wakeskater in the world with a sick combo of wake shuvits, insane railslides, topped off by a huge backside 360 off the double up. Californian Steve Wahlman and Floridian Brandon Thomas followed in second and third, respectively.
Wakestock wouldnıt be Wakestock without its famous bikini contest, featuring the Miss Reef Canada Finals. The winner, Lindsey Bundschuh of Vancouver, received a modelling contract with Reef Canada and direct entry into the Miss Swimsuit Canada finals. Second place went to Alicja Wierzbicka of Toronto, and third to Marie Eve Cloutier of Montreal.
