VooDoo Beach guests witnessed an amazing pool-to-pool rail jam by the Red Bull wakeboard team at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino on Sunday afternoon.
Parks Bonifay, X Games Gold medalist and five-time Pro Tour Champion, along with other Red Bull wakeboard professionals Josh Sanders and Mike Ennen, wowed the crowd as they performed numerous tricks along a 30-foot rail slide while being pulled by a motorized winch. One of the biggest highlights of the day came when Josh cleared a 25 foot gap jump, lifting his board off the rail to sail more than two dozen feet through the air-only to be matched moments later by Parks. That's when the competition and splash volume reached a whole new level.
