Rusty Malinoski on his way to winning the Pro Men division at the 2009 Air Nautique Wake Games

Orlando, Fla. – Fans lined the shores of the Orlando Watersports Complex today to catch the final rounds of wakeboarding action at the 2009 Air Nautique Wake Games, presented by ROCKSTAR. With eight divisions already in the books, the 14 remaining groups of riders hit the water today to vie for individual division trophies and team points toward the team challenge.

All ten teams came into the final day of competition with base points from yesterday’s eight division finals with Team Adkison and Team Soven leading the way. But with big finishes from all 10 team members, including two first-place finishes in today’s finals, Team Malinoski came from behind to win the 2009 Air Nautique Wake Games team challenge.

Team Captain Rusty Malinoski of Humboldt, Sask. led his team by example today, taking first-place in the Pro Men’s division. Brian Grubb (Nashua, NH) also followed suit, capturing the top spot in today’s Pro Wakeskate division finals. Today’s win marks Grubb’s fourth consecutive Wake Games title. Jimmy LaRiche, Erik Ruck, Taylor McCullough, Emilee Wright, Glen Fletcher, Matt Kirk, Hunter Hanson and Tyler Warroll all had great showings at Wake Games to help Team Malinoski take the top spot on the contest podium.

Teams Webb, Adkison, Soven, Errington, Hansen, Rathy, Hutton, Watson and Murray finished the team challenge, respectively.

Orlando native Dallas Friday made splash in front of a hometown crowd, taking first-place in the Pro Women’s division. Today’s win marks Friday’s first Wake Games title.
