Gallery – Alliance Wake Less Than 5 Presented by Mastercraft
In what has become an annual ode to style, the Alliance Less Than 5 contest is one of the coolest events in wakeboarding. The 2015 version of LT5 went down in epic fashion with some of the most stylish and unique riders on the planet in attendance. Of course the riding was insane, but the vibe and support all the riders have for each other is unmatched. Big thanks to MasterCraft and The Boarding School for providing the pull, location, and prize money. Check out the extended gallery of photos here and check out the full story from the 2015 Less Than 5 even in the new Photo Annual issue of Alliance Wake.
