Pro
wakeboarder Harley Clifford took top honors in the first of five
events on the 2011 MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour, held in May at
Dallas Landing on Allatoona Lake. Melissa Marquardt won in the
female division and Shota Tezuka from Japan triumphed in the Jr. Pro
Men’s competition.
The
three-day event, which has been held at Allatoona Lake for several
years, except for last year, is the first stop of the five-event
tour. Qualifying took place on Thursday and Friday; the finals were
held on Saturday in front of enthusiastic crowds.
Featuring some of the nation’s top wakeboarders, the tour was
highlighted with a festival-like atmosphere with food, music and
athlete autograph sessions.
Other locations for the series include Fort Worth, Texas, June 4;
Colorado Springs, Colo., June 11; Monroe, Wash., July 9; and
Knoxville, Tenn., August 27-28.
