Wakeboarding

Foiling week includes competitors in all kinds of foiling. Efoils and pump foils are two of the fastest-growing categories. Malcesine, a “Foiling Capital” of The Foiling Organization, hosted the 13th edition of Foiling Week, the world’s leading international event dedicated to foiling.

The TurboSwing ensures no fouling with the engine and allows for pulling of tubes. I can’t think of anybody who doesn’t enjoy getting towed behind a boat, whether it’s for wakeboarding, water-skiing or for tubing. We captains get a kick out of it too. Just as we should turn the engine off when approaching people in the water and never tow people near docks or buoys, we must also ensure that our boat’s tow points are properly installed and used correctly.

Marine environments present an engineering challenge for audio equipment, requiring hardware that can withstand motor noise, saltwater corrosion, and severe vibrations. To demonstrate how its technology overcomes these obstacles, Roswell Marine hosted a blind audio test at its global headquarters in Rockledge, Florida, pitting its new R1 Pro—the industry’s first 100% digital marine audio system—against a leading competitor.

All this week Malcesine once again becomes the global home of foiling. The Veneto shore of Lake Garda will host the 13th edition of Foiling Week, bringing together more than 500 foilers, team members and stakeholders from around the world for a programme combining world-class racing, technological innovation, public experiences and international dialogue. The video above is from last year’s Foiling Week which took place in Pensacola, Florida.

This early tower was developed in the 1990s by MasterCraft dealer and watersports enthusiast Mark Watts of Orlando, Florida. In the beginning, a wakeboard tower was just a tower—a four-legged fabrication of aluminum pipe. In the 30-ish years since the first tower appeared, this basic function—offering an elevated point of attachment for the towline—has not changed.

Holiday weekend celebrations make great boating opportunities and also require even more vigilance regarding boating safety. Waterfront venues across the United States will host Independence Day celebrations to honor the nation’s 250th birthday with everything from fireworks shows to festive boat parades. This Fourth of July boaters should be well prepared to navigate the historic crowds expected to participate in fun and exciting events planned across the nation.

Pedro Caldas truly shined during the Red Bull Winch Session in Curitiba, Brazil. Some wakeboard events are about scores. Others are about style. The Red Bull Winch Sessions in Curitiba, Brazil, were about something even bigger: seeing the city through a wakeboarder’s eyes. For a few unforgettable days, Curitiba’s urban landscape became a playground of rails, walls, ledges, gaps, and flowing water features as riders transformed everyday architecture into a canvas for creativity.
