Scott Byerly’s birthday set the vibe and The Projects delivered the ideal conditions for 23 challengers in the Boat and PWC categories in the 3rd Annual Byerly Toe Jam presented by O’Neill. The standout rider of the day was Aaron Rathy, who charged it all day, qualifying in both the Boat and PWC events. Byerly would also like to thank Reef, Nautiques, Hyperlite Arnette and Southeast Correct Craft for supporting wakeskating’s most elite event. Friday’s action will start with the invited riders (including today’s qualifiers) in the Boat category and end with Winch best trick.
