The sport of wake boarding is growing and this year's competition is evidence of that.

 

The annual Throwdown Wake boarding Competition took place last weekend at Portage's Island park with 14 boarders entered in the professional class.

Organizer Dan Martin says other than some wind during the competition the event was a success.
Martin thinks the $3,000 prize money, for the professional class may be the highest awarded in Canada.

He adds the Silver-Slam after party on Saturday night is becoming an event on it's own.
