The two-day event, held on the waters of Freeman Lake Park, features the top pro wakeboarders from throughout the globe competing for cash, points and pride by performing rail tricks and aerial stunts, while being towed on the water behind the official Pro Tour towboat, the MasterCraft X-Star, at a speed of approximately 25mph.
