Action during a previous BROstock event.
For the first time in 10 years, Liquid Force’s BROstock, wakeboarding’s biggest event is returning to the national stage, this time taking place at Lake Lanier. Slated for June 27-28 at Lake Lanier Olympic Park, the event features an invitation-only Big Air contest among some of the world’s best wakeboarders.
“BROstock, Liquid Force’s legendary double-up wakeboarding event is going big,” said Don Wallace with One Wake, presenters of the competition. “In addition to the best wakeboarders in the world, the weekend includes music, DJs, food trucks, a vendor village, gear demos, merchandise and giveaways.”
Although the competition is invitation only, there will be open jam sessions, demonstrations and meet-ups. Practices take place on Friday, June 27, and the competition is Saturday, June 28.
“Riders will launch off massive double-ups behind a new, unreleased Axis Wake boat, throwing down their biggest and most technical tricks for a cash purse of $25K and bragging rights,” he said. “This will be an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in the thrill of wakeboarding to experience the sport up close. The competitors will be available for meet-and-greets throughout the weekend and there’s something for everyone at BROstock.”
BROstock began in 2005 at Lake Powell as an annual grassroots event before turning into a major event with locations rotating across the country. During its first 10 years, the event traveled to Bulls Shoals, Arkansas, then headed to Smith Mt. Lake in Virginia, as well as its most recent home at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri.
“BROstock is more than an event – it’s a wakeboarding institution,” Dills said. “Whether you’re showing up for the riding, the parties, or the people, this one’s not to be missed.”
One Wake specializes in wakeboards, bindings, boat packages and specialized wake park equipment. It has two locations in North Georgia: 6080 Lanier Islands Parkway, Buford; and 100 Ridge Road, Canton.
