Wakedition 09 lands us in the heat of the Southern Hemisphere summer. We expose the sensitive topic of wakesurfing legality and the grey side to this growing sport. Courtney Angus has made her first attack on the international world of wakeboarding, she shares some of her stories from her first year on tour. Wakeskating has blown up! With more kids kick-flippin’, back-lipping’ and front-biggin’ than ever before we thought we’d speak to someone who was there from the beginning in Australian wakeskating. His name is Travers Fischer and he’s still skating harder than ever. The man on the cover, ‘Rubber’ Johnny Henson has had a long career in wake. Riding the highs and lows, we sat down to reflect on an incredible career and see what’s next on the horizon for Henson. It’s starting to warm up in here so grab an ice cold ale and slip into our refreshing pool of wake goodness.
