Tigé Announces Amateur Winners from MyWake Global Challenge Winners from 18 Divisions Awarded with GoPro Cameras Orlando, Fla. — After receiving 206 online video submissions from riders ranging between the ages of six and 61, Tigé has announced the overall winners from the amateur divisions from its MyWake Global Challenge competition...

The Tigé MyWake Global Challenge was a huge success and changed the way we thought about contests. Picking monthly winners from online video submissions, the judges chose the best 2 minute unedited video for each division.

Things were looking tip-top for young gun Mike Dowdy in his first official Pro Men's appearance after day one of the Tigé MyWake Gloabal Challenge. Watching the recap, it could be argued that had he hung onto the handle on his last trick on day 2, he may have been standing on top of the podium.

Watch how Keenan Flegel came back from an unexpected first day to take the victory at the Tigé MyWake Global Challenge in Pro Men's Skim, the closest finish of any division. The Flegel boys have definitely made themselves noticed this year with strong finishes in both both wake (Noah) and surf/skim contests.

The wake surfer with the most hype around him right now is Tigé team rider Chase Hazen. He has that "all eyes on the water" thing going for him when it's his turn to ride. At the Tigé MyWake Global Challenge it was no different many people got to see him ride in person or on live video feed for the first time.

The Pro Women's category at the Tigé MyWake Global Challenge threw down in this first of its kind event Raequel Hoffman topped a strong field full of accomplished competitors such as Amber Wing, Melissa Marquardt, Raimi Merritt and others.

Here is your chance to see the action from the Women's Skim division at the Tigé MyWake Global Challenge. Spins and shuvits are in the bags of tricks for most of these competitors, Bri Chmel championed the field with a first timer Gumby Shuv.

It is always fun watching the next generation of riders come up and put together passes that would have placed on the podium in the Pro division only a few short years ago, but it is even more impressive to see that kind of riding done with a polished style exceeding many of the pro's out there today.

Missed the live webcast of the Tigé MyWake Global Challenge last week? Lucky for you we have full recap videos coming out for each division. Watch the Pro Women Surf division competitors battle it out in the two day contest.

Check out the full Recap of the Tigé MyWake Global Challenge for the Pro Men's Wakeskate division. The new format determined that each rider would have a few chances at a 5 trick pass on Day 1 and then again on Day 2. The rider with the highest overall placing from the two days would be crowned champion.

One of the most exciting finishes of the contest was in the Pro Men's Skim division with a three way tie for first place. Keenan Flegel came out on top showcasing an array of very tech maneuvers and massive snapped re-entries.

Phil Soven was back to his winning ways taking the victory at the Tigé MyWake Global Challenge.  Although not in first place after Day 1, smart money is never against a strong finish by one of the most seasoned competitors in the field.  Crazy to say that and he is only 22.

Big congrats to Raequel Hoffman, winner of the Pro Women division at the Tigé MyWake Global Challenge! Raequel has been charging hard for years and had been quiet as of late, but then she stole the show and took the victory...

In the first competition of its kind, the Tigé MyWake Global Challenge pitted monthly video winners against each other in a live contest. Brian Grubb, no stranger to competitions nor competitive success, took the overall win with a strong first place finish on Day 2 to break the tie with James Balzer.
