Last year, wakeboarding phenom Harley Clifford made waves in the sport, when the then 15-year-old Australian upstart took first place at the PWT stop in Fort Worth and later went on to win the 2009 Pro Tour title. Now one year later, Clifford returns to Texas MasterCraft – the site where it all began for him – as the MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour makes its second stop of the 2010 season this week, June 10-12, in Fort Worth, TX.
“Winning the U.S. Pro Tour last year was a dream come true,” said Clifford. “It all started with that win in Fort Worth and just grew from there.”
Since winning in Fort Worth last year, Clifford has seen his stock rise in the sport. He has gone on to win many prestigious events throughout the globe and recently became the first rider ever to stomp a handle pass KGB 540 in a contest.
“The past year of my life has been crazy,” said Clifford. “I have accomplished more than I could have dreamed of a year ago, but there’s definitely more for me conquer.”
So what’s left for Clifford to conquer? He could try to land a few new tricks, break some wakeboarding records or try to pull a Phillip Soven and go for the Pro Tour sweep. Whatever the 16-year-old young gun has in mind, be sure to checkout him and his field of competitors this week, June 10-12, at Texas MasterCraft in Fort Worth for the second stop of the 2010 MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour.
