Three of the area’s best wakeboard schools (TSR, Freeride Wakeboard School and Lake Lessons) have teamed up for charity to coach six local celebrities for an INT-styled boat competition.
Flips for Kids Charity Event: SATURDAY 12pm
As part of the Texas Invitational, elementary school children have been raising pledges for the Austin Children’s Shelter based upon the number of flips their pro can do on the lake in a 3 minute time period. Texas Pro riders like Tom Foshee will compete by making to laps on the cable. One lab will be as many flips as possible and the other will be as many raileys as possible, the scores will be combined to crown a winning rider and school, but the big winners will be the kids that benefit from the fundraising!
