Red Bull North America has recently been throwing down the most progressive contests in wake sports. The same is true in Europe. Red Bull Germany with the help from our friends at Sesitec (manufacturer of cable wake park equipment; see The Wake Park Project for more info) put on one of the sickest contests to date, Red Bull Wake the Line. Hannas and crew from Unit Park Tech put in some features between three olympic size pools. The highlight of the comp definitely was the quarter pipe at the end of the third pool. It’s crazy to think the last quarter pipe a wakeboarder hit (which was also the first in wake)  was built in 2001 for the Carnival contest at The Projects Wakeboard and Wakeskate Camp. The difference this time was a Sesitec System 2.0 straight-line cable pulling the contest. So instead of edging in and letting go, the riders held on to the handle, hit the quarter pipe and rode back out.  It was an amazing contest.  Special thanks goes out to the team at Sesitec for taking care of me while I was over there. — Panakos
