Bala, Muskoka, ON, Canada – The exciting return of Wakestock World Series to Bala, Muskoka, Canada was a huge success attracting over 10,000 spectators to watch 60 of the best pro riders in the world compete for $35,000 in prize money at Bush's Watersports Park.
 
Presented by Monster Energy and Nautique Boats, Wakestock 2014 presented an expanded pro contest line-up featuring:
 
• WWA World Series Pro Men’s Wakeboard
• Nautique Series Pro Women’s Wakeboard
• Nautique Series Pro Men’s Wakeskate
• Wakestock Pro Wake Park 
• Nautique Series Junior Pro Men Wakeboard
 
But Wakestock wasn't just for the pros. Over 200 amateur competitors from novice through to aspiring pros also competed in the Nautique Wakestock Amateur Championship featuring: Wakeboard, Wakeskate, Wake Park, the all-new Wakestock Amateur Wakesurfing Championship and the Rip Curl Grom Search.
 
No other wake event in the world showcases so many aspects of wake sports or attracts so many competitors and spectator crowds. At Wakestock 2014, there was a renewed focus on elevating the "Wake" in "Wakestock" for pros, ams and spectators alike.
 
In the Pro Men Wakeboard World Series, Australian Harley Clifford claimed victory and his second Wakestock title. Clifford was followed closely by Phil Soven and JD Webb in second and third and Canadians Rusty Malinoski and Oli Derome in fourth and fifth, respectively.
 
"Wakestock weekend was amazing and the crowd was sick," said Clifford after his win. "I love coming to Canada. To come out on top with the win was awesome. The water conditions were great all weekend and it definitely made for one of the best contests of the year!"
 
In the new Wakestock Pro Wake Park contest, Oli Derome held off hard charging Jimmy Lariche (2nd), Kevin Henshaw (3rd) and Bob Soven (4th) to take the win. Derome's double back rolls off of the Nautique Kicker and his technical rail tricks atop the Henshaw designed 60 foot long Monster Energy multi-rail kept him ahead of the field throughout the contest.
 
"Wakestock in Bala was a blast!" enthused Derome. "Wakestock showcased wake sports at they're best with amazing conditions for both wake park and boat wakeboarding. The Wake Park course allowed for both creative and technical riding. I'm excited to walk away with the top pro honors."
 
In the Pro Women Wakeboard Nautique Series event, spectators were treated to a battle between past champions. In the end it was Dallas Friday who came out on top. "The weekend was awesome," stated Friday. "It was truly amazing to be up on top of the podium with Meagan Ethell and Amber Wing. I can't think of many contests that have been so awesome to ride in. I’m definitely coming back next year."
 
The competitor line-up for Pro Men Wakeskate featured a who's who of former Wakestock Champions: Brian Grubb, Reed Hansen, Danny Hampson and James Balzer. Throwing some of the biggest contest runs ever behind the Nautique G23, Grubb, Hansen and Balzer led the way through the elimination rounds. In the finals, Grubb stomped a flawless run to prevail and win his 7th Wakestock title.
 
"I love coming to Wakestock and when I heard it was coming back to Bala I was so excited," said Grubb. "This site is awesome. We had great water conditions all weekend. I’m super pumped to get the win and to come back next year to defend my title."
 
In the Rip Curl Grom Search, nine-year-old Cam Spalding beat out five of Canada's hottest 16 & Under Grom riders including Taylor Stewart, Jesse Jarrett, Cory Znebel, Cole Silverthorn and Jake Bishop and won a qualification spot in the Wakestock World Series. While Spalding stomped an impressive World Series debut qualification run, it wasn't quite enough to get past Jimmy Lariche and Josh Twelker. 
 
Wakestock's music and party program featured the Kee To Bala, one of Canada's most famous summer concert halls and the number one place to party in Muskoka. The Wakestock Pro Rider's Party presented by Monster Energy kicked things off Friday night with DJ Illo and Tech 12. Saturday featured a Wakestock Pro Rider and VIP Pre-Party Reception presented by Monster Energy and Nautique / Pride Marine on the outdoor deck of the Bala Bay Inn, the official pro rider hotel. Then it was off to the Kee To Bala's big Wakestock Block Party headlined by Ghostface Killah featuring Sheek Louch, Charron, Neon Knights, DJ Illo and Tech 12. Things wrapped up Sunday night at the Kee To Bala with the Wakestock Patio Party featuring D3FF and Aktec.
