UF Wake Fest 2015 The University of Florida Wakeboarding Team hosted their annual competition WakeFest in April. We've been working with UF Wake Team for the better part of this year, and we're always stoked to see what they're up too as well as check out the wakeboard culture as it grows on a collegiate level in Florida and across the United States. Events like these, put on by individual collegiate wakeboarding teams, keep driving the industry on a very organic level and it's so cool to see the participation continue to grow. Around 40 riders competed and over 700 people showed up to support the event. Overall, it was a huge success that is sure to continue to grow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4KhuPDTHcQ

Swedish Wakeboarding Lucas Only Event This sweet little edit just dropped of the Lucas Only wakeboarding event held in Västerås Cable Park in Sweden. ELEVATED Clothing team rider Christian Forssten can be seen throwing some massive hammers off the kicker from up above. You've gotta love those drone shots. The event looks like it went off pretty well overall, with a large number of spectators turnout out to cheer on the riders and soak in the Swedish Summer Sun. Here's a rider list and a little blurb of information from the Vimeo page of Nils Heuman: Video from a cable Wakeboard competition held in Västerås Cable Park. Really nice event and some great riding from kids up

1 DAY at RIDE CABLE SE04EP02 with 4amigos ELEVATED Clothing Athlete Norbi Vasko just shared this sick little video on his instagram for all of you to preview, so we figured we'd take the liberty to share it to the masses here. A year ago today, Norbi was off in Hungary shredding with his amigos at Ride Cable Wakepark, and they managed to capture some pretty stylish riding that would bring a smile to anybody's face. Norbi can be seen repping his ELEVATED Propaganda Tank (neon blue), and another limited edition lime green ELEVATED Lightning tank :) Video by Dani Kralik: @danikralik @ridecable wake park in Hungary.

These coming weekends mark important days for Elevated Clothing- namely that Saturday, August 1st, and Saturday, August 8th, will be our first events in Australia since officially launching the brand down under at the start of July. It's only fitting that we close out the month with a couple of bangers to kick off what will surely be an amazing year of growth for ELEVATED. Athletes have been waiting in anticipation to see the brand hit the salty shores of Australia all year, and with the first boxes of gear landing a few short weeks ago, we've witnessed somewhat of a feeding frenzy as t-shirts, hoodies, tanks, and crewnecks get swept up just as soon as they appear. Our second wave is enroute and will be arriving just in time for two great events in Australian BXM, and Australian Wakeboarding. We'll be sure to keep you up to date as more excitement gets underway, but for now, let's have a round of applause for the man who's heading the charge down there, Brent Trapp. And before

Tige MyWake Challenge So far 3 of our ELEVATED athletes have submitted wakeboarding and wakeskate videos for the Tige' My Wake Challenge. We wanted to share these with you, our fans, so that not only can you keep up with what your favorite athletes are up too, but you can better understand the brand culture behind ELEVATED Clothing. It also helps that the more views and more shares these guys get, the better their standing in the competition. So check out the videos, give the a like, and share the page (or the individual videos) around on your social media if you think they're deserving. Video 1: Austin Polterock - Wakeskater, Northern California. At only 17 years old, Austin shreds so hard and throws down with the literal best wakeskaters in the world at competitions around the country. Video 2: Drew Glickman - Wakeboarder, Trophy Lakes, SC. Trophy Lakes Cable Crew all featured in the shot. We think the editing on this one is so sick, and some solid riding for sure.

Netflix and Chill?... Try Netflix and Shred. When it comes to new slogans, we've all come across a friend or two awkwardly throwing out "netflix and chill." Where did this come from? It seems to have just popped out of nowhere almost overnight, and in a culture that is far too heavily saturated with sexual connotations, pressure, and innuendos, we'd like to just take a second and clear a few things up. Yeah we've all been there... thinking about netflix and chill. They say that guys think about netflix and chill an average once every 7 seconds... That's mental. Every seven seconds we've got movies on our mind... er... sort of. Maybe

BSR With The Swedes I hope you're sitting down this morning, because this video will make you weak at the knees. Grab your cup of coffee, kick back and enjoy 4 minutes of pure bliss as Fredrik Blomqvist, Jeremia Hoppe, and Elevated Team Rider Christian Forssten drop bangers and locked in rail hits from their spring trip to BSR Cable Park in Texas. There's an old saying from somewhere in the world that states... "You know it's going to be a party when the Swedes come to town!" And if that's not a real saying then it should be. These kids kill. PRESS PLAY! And then share!!!!

Snow Culture: Norwegian Snowboarder Vilde Amundsen When it comes to snow sports, who better to know the ins and outs than the Scandinavians... way up north there. Not that it particularly matters; if you're a kid with a passion, and you dedicate yourself to the cold life, you're gonna end up with some pretty crazy skills eventually, but we can't help but wonder if being from Norway can give you just a little head start. Vilde Amundsen is a triple threat from Norway: good looks and a kind personality, massive skills as a snowboarder, and when it comes to wakeboarding, let's just says she throws down! She absolutely shreds! Vilde has been killing it this past winter, and we can't wait to see what she will do with her summer. We're proud to have her as part of the ELEVATED Clothing family, and you can be sure that we'll bring lots more content from her as the year progresses.
