The Mid-Atlantic Wakeboard
Series Returns to Lake Anna in 2007 for 2 Events
June 2007
Glass & Powder Boardshop's event series, which started in 1999 (now
in its 9th year), has grown to be the longest running wakeboarding
event series in the history of this growing sport. This year Glass &
Powder brings its traveling events to Lake Anna for two dates - June
9 and August 4 at Lake Anna State Park picnic area B.
Registration for both events begins 8am the day of the event.
The events are structured more like “Festivals” than competitive
“contests” or “tournaments.” More emphasis is put on having fun and
experiencing the sport, the products, and the culture than on
winning prizes. Glass & Powder accomplishes this by making sure that
every participating rider gets a bag full of prizes at the end of
the day, regardless of performance in the event. Sponsors from all
over the world contribute products so that each rider brings home
more value in prizes than they spent to enter the contest. In
addition, Glass & Powder Boardshop raffles off the large prizes,
which makes the awards ceremony even more interesting. A rider could
conceivably come in last place, with the worst ride of their life,
and still win a brand new wakeboard. Entry fees for each event are
at the same modest $35 price that they were in 1999.
