The first drive into Wake Nation Houston from Luke Becker on Vimeo.

Plans for the new water-sports complex, which will be located near Pearland, Texas were announced today by Peter Kennedy, CEO of Wake Nation. Construction on the new Houston water-sports park will begin in the fall with an anticipated opening in Spring, 2011.

“We are very excited about bringing the area’s only full-scale cable wakeboarding park to Houston,” Kennedy said, “and we look forward to joining the many great family attractions this area has to offer.”

“Wakeboarding is already the country’s fastest growing watersport,” said Mike Olson, Director of Business Development for the Wake Nation brand. “The cable system approach to wakeboarding and water skiing is particularly attractive to those without access to their own boats.” Since riders are pulled around the lake by an overhead cable system, there is no need for loud and often polluting motor boats, he added. Currently, there are only 10 full-scale cable wakeboarding parks in the U.S.

Wake Nation Houston will be located in Rosharon, near Pearland, south of the Sam Houston Parkway, 20 minutes from downtown Houston.

“Wake Nation Houston is being designed to provide the ultimate ride experience to both first timers and experienced boarders, says Kennedy. “Beginners love that wakeboarding is fun, easy to learn, and allows everyone to progress at their own pace. Advanced riders love that they can amp up the adrenaline by doing air tricks they can’t behind a boat and by boarding off floating jumps and obstacles that will be in the lake.” Riders can bring their own gear, or rent equipment — including boards and wet suits — at the park. Riders must be at least 10 years old, and helmets and life vests (available for rental) are required.

Wake Nation Houston will be a “pay-as-you-play” facility. Parking and admission to water sports complex will be FREE, including access to a large outdoor observation deck that offers a panoramic view of the entire lake area. Riders will pay only for “water time,” typically around $25 for two hours. The Wake Nation complex will also have a pro shop, concession area and numerous other services and amenities. There will be special
group rates and season passes available.

Wake Nation Cincinnati opened to rave reviews in May, 2009. The venue has already won several “best of” awards and this past June set an officially sanctioned Guinness World Record for greatest distance traveled on a wakeboard in a 24-hour period (509 miles.)

The first team video from Integrity/Mutiny.

In this growing stage we have been lucky enough to find our newwest addition to the team. Atlanta native, Russell Brightwell. I met Russ for the first time when he came out to the Union Park/Baja Brawl Winch event last Labor Day weekend in Millington, Michigan. He ended up winning the top prize money with some crazy a$$ Krooks Shuv Out … after seeing that I just remember going “uh okay, give that dude the money!” Before that weekend I had only seen Russell shred on www.lasewer.com and a few other online web edits. But to see this guy in person was something else. Simply put, he destroys rails. From Nose Grinds to Krooks, but Blunts are the dirty south gangstas favorite!

We have been working with Russ on his new concave shape for the last few months and after we got the “thumbs up” are now offering it on the new www.devotid.com online wake store. We also have some matching shirts in the clothing section sporting the new ATL skyline graphic. So show your southern support for Russ and the rest of the dirty south gangstas by scooping some fresh threads today.

In celebration of Russell’s homecoming we are sending FREE full length videos ( In Its Travels, Beans and Rice, Homeless, and We’re Just Skiing) with all board orders purchased on www.devoitd.com this month.
