Check out the second video in Norbi Vasko's new Gnarley Harley series. In this video, Norbi scored some chase-boat footage of Harley Clifford on an early-morning mission. Check out more of Norbi's videos at norbifilms...

Check out the first installment of Danny Harf's new Defy blog at wakeboardingmag.com. Stay tuned for video updates on the much-anticipated project from Harf and producer Sean Kilgus.

The 2010 WWA World Series started off with an impressive event — the first-ever Wakestock Abu Dhabi. Not just the riding, but the entire organization of the contest and trip. The laid-back atmosphere was a sharp contrast to the intense level of riding...

Steel Lafferty has been one of my good old buddies from way back in the day. We used to ride and hang out at Dean Lavelle's wakeboard school when I was only a sophomore in high school. I always knew Steel was going to make it...

2009 Wake Park world champ Nick Davies shows of his cable-honed skills on the trampoline as well as the A-frame and fun box at O'Town Watersports. Check out more of Norbi's videos at norbifilms...

Eight riders just finished up one of the best vacations, uh, I mean double-up contests, of the year. The Oakley Riot was just held in Dubai and put on by Al Boom Marine. I’d heard about it for several months from some of the other guys, but my name was thrown into the hat only a week before the event...

Today, WAKEBOARDING Magazine was included in a substantial group of journalists reporting from the city of Windermere, Florida. However, let's just say we weren't there stalking every bit of activity around the home of Tiger Woods...

It's seems slightly odd to me that I just flew halfway around the world to hit a couple of double-ups. It's even stranger that this time last week I didn't know I was going. The crew from Al Boom Marine Group has invited eight pro riders to Dubai for a one-day double-up contest that is sure to draw spectators and amateur riders from all over the United Arab Emirates and Europe...

This weeks blog isn't so much a blog or editorial-style article as it is a big thank you to everyone who has ever read my words on here or on my own website. The wakeboarding industry is a very close community...

There are a countless number of tricks in wakeboarding. If you think about it, it really is endless. A year ago everyone thought a backside 1080 and a frontside 1260 were impossible, and then they both happened, thanks to Danny Harf and Sir Aaron Rathy...

A lot of pro wakeboarders do clinics in the summer. These sorts of things are kind of like coaching sessions. A pro comes out to your local dealership and us as riders can sign up and pay a reasonable rate to not only get a chance to ride with a pro all day but also get shown what we are doing wrong on the wakeboarding tricks we're working on...

I recently posted a picture of my backyard taken at sunset on my blog, www.derekgrasman.com. The post was called “My Paradise.” That got me thinking. Why is it that when anyone thinks of paradise almost always the first thing that pops into your head is one of those screensaver-type islands located somewhere in the Pacific Ocean that most of us will never actually get anywhere near? How can this be our paradise? I think paradise is all in the eye of the beholder...

It’s been a busy and productive few weeks for me. I came back from Panama City, Florida, two Sundays ago and was up early Monday morning to start shooting for the 2010 MasterCraft Rewind DVD...

In wakeboarding, there are a lot of debates going on — debates that will never end and will always be repeated. Debates about where you should grab your board or how you should spin. And while it seems like a bad thing, in all actuality, I feel like this may be one of the greatest things about wakeboarding...

We have hit a new era in wakeboarding. Or action sports in general. This is the era of the instant media overload. I remember back in 1999 Parks Bonifay landed the first 1080 ever done on a wakeboard...
