    About this Video
    Red Bull Wakelab made its debut in Orlando, FL in September 2008, and was an instant success with riders and fans alike. Created as an experiment to see how far the boundaries of the sport of wakeboarding could be pushed, the groundbreaking event moved to Tempe and took place in conjunction with the Circle K Tempe Music Festival. Influenced by the design of the modern skatepark and snowboarding snowpark, a massive "wakepark" was constructed to include a mix of hand and transfer rails, sliders, an elevated pool, and a 16-foot high wall ride/quarterpipe. The result, a massive floating skatepark, dubbed "The Wake Lab" that allows riders to perform sets of tricks that were once impossible, raising the sport to new levels.
