2015 Rip Curl Judgement – Wake Crew – Winners
The 2015 Rip Curl Judgement presented by Tigé Boats saw us change direction, instead of videos featuring one rider, we asked crews from across the country to submit videos that showcased their crew doing what they do.
Once again we are blown away by the young riders, videographers and editors that are coming up in Canada, and we are so happy to be able to work with Alliance Wake to give these athletes an international venue to showcase their skills to a wider audience.
Our judges had their work cut out for them, but who better to pick the best crew video than Kevin Henshaw, Oli Derome and Vince Whiteman.
If you haven’t already watched them, please check out their videos above.
Congratulations to all our winners, we thank you all for working so hard on your videos, we look forward to seeing you continue to develop your riding, filming and editing skills in the future.
Thank you all for watching, we’ll see you in 2016!

These were all great videos in their own way.. I seriously give props to all the guys who were in these winning videos. I have one problem with judge's choice. Both of the videos that were selected by the judges portray ZERO boat riding. I love cable riding and cable edits but when you say the videos need to showcase all aspects, well then judge by your own rules. Serious cred to the boys in these videos though. They killed it

Not everybody's dad owns a 200,000$ boat that burns 50$ of gas every 30 mins.

@therealreality I didn't say a bad thing about any of these riders. I said I liked cable riding, and I don't think only boat edits should win. I think edits with both should win. Also, not every boat in this contest was 200k boat. I respect every edit made. Just don't agree with the outcome

Ya i agree with reality if they say diversity it should need to be judged on diversity. but at the same time Dairy Mikey Drew was easily the best video they just didn't buy a bunch of votes or hit up public computers like I'm sure others did. Very questionalbe runner up tho!

@reality I'm sure you are a much better judge than OLI DEROME and KEVIN HENSHAW, 2 of the best wake boarders ever to come from Canada.
quality over quantity my friend.

That last video really made me feel gorgeous. They should collab with Dusty Bunn on the next one. Christians hit at CWC was fire flame, keep that goin

Who cares if there wasn't any stale overly-done boat riding. That's like saying a skate edit wasn't as good because it didn't have any halfpipe shots. Watching cable and winch is more enjoyable 99% of the time because there are more than 2 features to hit (left wake or right wake).

My problem is there was no wakeskating

Diversifying the riding environments makes things much more interesting, I would have also liked to have seen some winching, boat, and other aspects of the sport showcased alongside cable. Oli and Henshaw have numerous edits where both boat and cable are featured in their parts, I am surprised this was not taken into consideration.

@derek, Jordan Sullivan of the Fresh Pressed video. Best clips of any of the edits. Shreds a wakeskate. Enough said!
