Free admission to Hyperlite Wakeboard Experience show August 6, 2010

Every year, spectators line the beaches of Lake Washington, soak in the Northwest sun and catch Seafair, a specatular show on the water and in the air with the Albert Lee Cup Hydroplane Races and the Boeing Air Show.

Added to the 2010 festivities is the first Washington state U.S Hyperlite Wakeboard Experience. Washington State is the second largest wakeboard community. The leading brand name in the wakeboard industry, Hyperlite, has teamed up with Rezin Marketing and Seafair to bring a pro wake event to Lake Washington! Pro athletes will compete each day for three, one-hour performances. Hyperlite Wakeboarders Shaun Murray, Jimmy LaRiche, JD Webb, Jacob Valdez and others athletes will WOW the crowd hitting kickers and performing huge aerial maneuvers.

Hyperlite was born in the early 90’s and quickly established its dominance in the wakeboard scene through top athletes and great products. Helping to pump up the crowd of onlookers will be a “floating DJ”. The Yellow Tail Oasis Cabanas & South Turn Beer Garden are located next to the event and offer a prime viewing spot!

On Friday, August 6, General Admission is free. Bring your own lawn chair!
