Bungle in the Jungle
On August 13th, Twenty of Ontario’s best wakeskaters came down to the Bayou Cable park in the small farming town of Amaranth to compete in the biggest, best and most out of control wakeskate competition in Canada, Bungle in the Jungle!! The day started out mellow with practice on the four posted in rails and but as noon rolled around the hot sun caused some sort of fever and the guys were ready to compete! The Billabong Amateur division was off the dock first and this group of 6 guys did awesome most had never even hit a rail before but everyone stepped up their game and went for it. We saw multiple shuv-its, 180’s and people’s first boardslides. After it was all said and done we had three riders who really stood out and took home a butt load of Billabong and Bayou Prizes.
Amateur Finals
1st Ryan Tryhane

The Pro wakeskate division was up next and the skaters were broken down into three qualifying heats with top two advancing to finals and we witnessed some of the best wakeskating that has happened in Canada! Big spins and kickflips were thrown all over the lake and the guys put together some awesome rail lines. Scott Boysen was a stand out with his stylish front boards, backlips and his backlip bs 270 out of the up rail. Jordan Sullivan and Tommy Bailey were also stand out Thrashers with shuvs off the rails and multiple flat water tricks. But it was Brady Hicks who took home the top cash prize after linking some good rail lines, big spins and flip tricks. We crowned the top three pros at the Bungle after party where Addison Farr, Tommy Bailey and Brady Hicks were presented with a wad of cash and some amazing Bungle in the Jungle tiki trophy’s provided by JBR designs.
