Are you going to #PASStheHANDLE July 26th?

That's right I am calling all of WAKEWORLD out to challenge them to help grow the sport! You guys already do a ton to keep the sport visible, now let's all do something to get people up on the water.

Here’s the scoop July 26th will perpetually be #PasstheHandle day world wide. The goal is for those fortunate enough to know how to stand on the water/perform towed sports (wakeboarding, wake surfing, cable riding, water-skiing, hydrofoiling, tubing etc) to share that amazing experience with friends that have never stood up.

This is our second year and last year we had posts coming in from Australia, China, Israel, Canada, the caribbean and all over the US. We think we had between 8,000 and 10,000 participants last year and we are hoping for 10K-15K or more this year and have several media outlets already working to promote the day.

So, if you have the opportunity to pass along the stoke of gliding on the water this weekend, tag in #PASStheHANDLE, @PASStheHANDLE on FB & IG and tag in some of the brands that are participating as well, there are some prize packs out there to WIN!

Ride safe, wear a vest and have a great weekend, and thanks for any and all efforts to help grow our sport!
