The Air Nautique 220 served up a perfect wake and the riders went off, with memorable moves like Aaron Reed's frontside 360 into the flats, Danny Hampson's wake-to-wake frontside big spin, Drew Danielo's floaty toeside shove-indy, Nick Taylor's toeside backside 180, Brandon Thomas' kickflips and Brian Grubb's backside and frontside spins, as well as backside 180's and shove-indy's.

The head-to-head final included rising star Nick Taylor against veteran wake rider Brian Grubb, with Grubb taking the victory for the wake category. Overall, the riders and media were buzzing with excitement over today's incredible wake riding. The same 16 riders will be competing together in the rail park final tomorrow, which is guaranteed to bring out the highest level of wakeskating in the world.
