Corpus Christi Pro: $15,000 Up for Grabs

So the Corpus Christi Pro at the Texas International Boat Show is a little more then two months away. For those of you who don’t know what the Corpus Christi Pro is all about, here’s a sneak peek.

“On April 22-25 Texas Ski Ranch will be hosting the Corpus Christi Pro as part of the Texas International Boat Show. This unique wakeboard tournament will showcase some of the top wakeboarders in the world as they compete for a $15,000 cash purse. Unlike most events TSR hosts, the Corpus Christi Pro will not be pulled by a MasterCraft X-Star or Rixen Cable system. Because the event is held in the Marina we will be using Sea Doo watercraft to pull the wakeboarders over ramps made specifically for this event. The setting proved to be challenging but also very rewarding due to the close proximity to the crowd that can line up on all sides of the course.

In 2009 Tom Fooshee and Gabe Lucas out distanced to win the largest portion of the prize money. This year with twice the money we expect more national and international riders to travel in for the event. Tom and Gabe will have the experience this year but with the expanded field of riders they will have their work cut out for them if they wish to repeat. The 2010 event will be sanctioned by the World Wakeboard Association (WWA) To register for the event go to www.TexasSkiRanch.com/corpus

The Texas International Boat Show, presented by American Bank, will take place from April 22nd–25th, 2010, at the Corpus Christi Downtown Marina. Buyers and sellers from across Texas, the USA and Mexico, plus exhibitors from around the world, will come together to create a unique marketplace offering a relaxed and leisurely environment in which to meet during this four-day event. Hundreds of boats, from 10’ to 100’, will be on display, both in the water and on-shore, many ready to demo!  An exhibition of custom bikes and classic cars alongside an auto show featuring the latest in today’s cars and trucks. Add to this live music from The Bahamas, fun fashion shows and entertainment for the whole family, and you have an unforgettable experience for both buyers and sellers enjoying four days of fun in the sun. The 2010 show will also include: The 2010 Kite Racing World Championship – an International Kiteboarding Association World Cup event & The Texas Power Boat Derby- an American Power Boat Association sanctioned event.
