Andrew Adkison of CWB, MasterCraft and Wakeboarding Ambassadorship Wins Masters

Friend of The Wakeboard Report, hard worker and all around good human being Andrew Adkison stood atop the happiest of platforms yesterday during the closing ceremonies at Masters. In other words he won the 50th instance of Correct Craft's big invite-only dance. We exchanged a few text messages this morning with him and as expected he's pumped.

Please stay tuned - looks like we've got an interview with AA in the works concerning his win, the 09 King of Wake season, and updates on his equipment - from boards to boots to boats. Remember how I promised a Podcast series? I meant it. 2 are already complete. We'll go live with 5 and then each of you do your best to get me to the top of iTunes and other Podcast aggregators.

We had our money on a few things regarding this event - some of it panned out, some of it did not. What was I right about, and about what was I wrong... Let's take a look.

1. I predicted an Andrew Adkison top 2 finish. Right!

2. I predicted, and was willing to bet 20 bucks that Aaron Rathy was going to do his best at stealing the show with the first-ever 1080 landed in competition. Wrong.

3. I predicted that the excitement over my invitation to work with Correct Craft event staff at Masters would be short lived, because it was too awesome to not fall through. It did indeed fall through. Right.

Congratulations again Andrew, and Congratulations to Nicola Butler for taking the female title!
