Did you know the big novelty on this year's FISE World Chengdu event? If we say, water and insane tricks? If we say rails and cable? If we say Bob Soven and Dominik Hernler?

You guessed it, we're talking about wakeboarding, which is now part of the massive event in China! Staple discipline on the FISE World Montpellier, wakeboarding has been seducing more and more people each edition and it's easy to understand when we look at the riders, pushing limits and giving everyone a one of a kind show! 

Just to keep you salivating about what is coming, here's a little presentation of the pros who confirmed their presence:

Antoine Allaux, 26 y.o.
Eaubonne, France

Antoine is on a roll and is now considered as one of the best wakeboarders in the world. “ In 2002, at 13 years old, I did a wakeboard camp I Annecy with my family. We were pulled by a boat”. He quickly fell in love with the sport and bought his first board. For 5 years, Antoine uses it only occasionally. Things have changed and he is now the first French in the overall FISE rankings and climbed to 5th position at the 2015 FISE World Montpellier.

Bob Soven, 23 y.o.
Longwood, USA

At 15 years old, Bob already had 6 world titles and 5 national titles. After a year off in 2009 following an important head injury, he has been back stronger than everand is now considered as a legend in his sport.

Dominik Hernler, 23 y.o.
Vienn, Austria.

No stranger to the FISE events, Dominik is now part of the best wakeboarders in the world. In 2013, he won at the FISE World Montpellier and climbs up the world rankings. His style and amplitude make him a very impressive rider to watch.
