It has begun, the first day of the 2009 MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour. Even though it‚s the first day of the 2009 Tour, we can't help but feel a little nostalgic. For one, it could be the location. We're back in Fort Worth, TX. This stop is always a good time: solid riding, Texas ladies, five gallon cowboy hats, and concealed weapons. It's no wonder why we keep coming back.

As an added bonus, the site at Jimmy Harvel's Texas MasterCraft is the perfect private lake: calm, full of rails, and close to the city. Not only is the site familiar, the crew here is known. We have a couple of all time legends on site through the weekend. Greg Necrason is manning the boat and pulling perfect passes for all. Another legend in the house is Scott Byerly. Him and his crew have made the voyage in their macked-out Byerly/Rockstar bus to meet fans and show their newest products. The legend of 2008’s Wake Awards, Zane Schwenk, is on the dock this afternoon, looking to qualify for yet another MasterCraft Pro Tour. For now though, the Junior Pro Men are riding to qualify. This group will obviously breed the next generation of legends for our sport. Stay tuned all weekend, it’s gonna be heavy!
