Wake Culture: Velocity Island Park Crew The long awaited opening of Velocity Island Cable Wake Park is finally here, and we've got just the video to show you the goods. Trever Maur spent some time filming with the local park crew and put together a super fun and sleek edit; getting some rounds in for himself of course too. The video shows the wide diversity of the park's features, including the signature Kaesen Suyderhoud feature from Unit Parktech. Speaking from Experience, this park is dope. They gave our ELEVATED Crew the VIP treatment when we were there filming our West Coast Edit, and we are stoked that they're finally open to the public. This is for sure park you'll want to shred. Check out the following video featuring Trever Maur, Kaesen Suyderhoud, Anton Ryzenkov, Elevated athletes Tanar Pigrenet and Matt Tonne, Dylan De Kalb, Andrew Hartmann, Jay Miguel, Calli Turner, Jennifer Gillantar, and Kyle Feder.

Wake Culture: Matt Manzari Recovery update For those of you who don't know, Matt Manzari is a super awesome Pro-Wakeskater. He's currently in the hospital recovering from a really tough accident that left him badly burned but in high spirits. We're praying for you Matt. It seems the week of July 4th was hard on the Wakeboard Industry. By now you've hopefully heard the story about Pro-Wakeboarder Brad Smeele who shattered his vertebrae while wakeboarding on the Big Air kicker and is in the fight of his life to recover from paralysis. You've hopefully also been able to give or help in some way, even by just sharing his story. Read more here. Well coupled with that incredibly traumatic event

Wake Culture: Austin Hair Late last year, in 2013, ELEVATED picked up pro wakeboarder Austin Hair to join our team. We got fully introduced to him at Surf Expo in Orlando, where he showed our crew incredible hospitality and insane riding at his lake house on Clear Lake. Since that day it's been a lot of fun for us to watch him continuously push his own limits and delve further and further into company culture. That's why we're stoked to show you the following video of Austin throwing down hard in his ELEVATED Products, just released on Alliance Wake Mag. Check it and click the "Like" button. Austin Hair has been busy traveling the world this season but manage to put together a few boat sets in Orlando at Lake Jessamine, Clear Lake, and Lake Conway. Enjoy! Video

Wake Culture: Pro Wakeboarder Brad Smeele Recovery Update 2 Update on Brad Smeele, the New Zealander Pro Wakeboarder who is recovering from a terrible wakeboard accident on July 6th which left him currently paralyzed from the nipple line down. Read the story here: http://elevatedclothingco.com/pro-wakeboarder-brad-smeele-brad-smeeles-recovery/ As the weeks have rolled on, it sounds like Brad is making some good progress on the road to recovery. He has a long and arduous battle ahead of him, but we all believe that with the grace of God and Brad's iron will, he can make it through to the other side. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words, and this one, of Brad smiling in the hospital, speaks volumes to his character, personality, and determination.

Wakeboarding at its finest- pro wakeboarder Stephen Pierce and friends throw down in this hard hitting, smooth styling, wakeboard edit out of Lake Norman, North Carolina. It's always been known that wakeboarding is something of a rich kid's sport. While there's terrible truth in that statement, it also holds that kids around the world, no matter their financial standing, find ways to get on the lake and shred, building the foundations of this sport. But this video takes it to a new level with Stephen and Tyler Rhyne riding in a shiny white Lamborghini to join Michael Sutherland and the rest of the crew on the new Super Air Nautique G23.

If you don't know, Brad Smeele took a horrible fall over the 4th of July weekend and shattered one of his vertebrae, ending up paralyzed in the hospital.It sounds like he was attempting a triple backflip off the Big Air kicker and came up short.

We've just heard the news that Pro Wakeboarder Brad Smeele had a terrible accident wakeboarding this weekend and is in critical condition. Our heart goes out to Brad, who we've been blessed to encounter numerous times over the last two years and who has always been a bright beacon of love, respect, and awesomeness in the wakeboard industry. He's a huge role model and friend to many riders and an incredible athlete. A page has been set up to take donations to help get him home to New Zealand to recover with his family. Please give whatever possible and spread his donation page around. http://www.givealittle.co.nz/cause/bradsmeele

They have an eye that most don't, and they constantly prove they have the goods when it comes to beautiful cinematography, inherent story, and capturing action sports heroes. Watch this sunset surf session in Orlando with Logan Hayes and wakeboarding by Parker Bizar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6GhSay2VH0

In the last month, ELEVATED has been lucky enough to get to bring our team together twice and shred California's new cable wake park Velocity Island Park. They aren't quite open to the public yet, so it makes it extra special for us to get the VIP treatment at VIP (Velocity Island Park). I'm proud to tell you first hand from experience that this cable park is so dope! Velocity will surely be a destination park for wakeboarders all over the world to come ride and experience something unique and fresh. Every detail at this park has been thought through, from the layout, to landscaping, to the most important aspect, the features.
