Wake Culture: Austin Hair Late last year, in 2013, ELEVATED picked up pro wakeboarder Austin Hair to join our team. We got fully introduced to him at Surf Expo in Orlando, where he showed our crew incredible hospitality and insane riding at his lake house on Clear Lake. Since that day it's been a lot of fun for us to watch him continuously push his own limits and delve further and further into company culture. That's why we're stoked to show you the following video of Austin throwing down hard in his ELEVATED Products, just released on Alliance Wake Mag. Check it and click the "Like" button. Austin Hair has been busy traveling the world this season but manage to put together a few boat sets in Orlando at Lake Jessamine, Clear Lake, and Lake Conway. Enjoy! Video

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words, and this one, of Brad smiling in the hospital, speaks volumes to his character, personality, and determination.

Wakeboarding at its finest- pro wakeboarder Stephen Pierce and friends throw down in this hard hitting, smooth styling, wakeboard edit out of Lake Norman, North Carolina. It's always been known that wakeboarding is something of a rich kid's sport. While there's terrible truth in that statement, it also holds that kids around the world, no matter their financial standing, find ways to get on the lake and shred, building the foundations of this sport. But this video takes it to a new level with Stephen and Tyler Rhyne riding in a shiny white Lamborghini to join Michael Sutherland and the rest of the crew on the new Super Air Nautique G23.
