burn Heliwake 2011

There are some things which just invite being taken to the next level. Wakeboarding is one of them. While it's great to be able to do it normally, with a kite...there's more potential. That's what we think, anyway.

So we decided to make things a bit more interesting by using a helicopter, and so Heliwake was born. Of course, not any rider would be able to handle this, so it was just as well that we had world champion wakeboarder Tokay Matte to take to the waters in tow for the first time in Europe. Serious stuff.

Check out the awesome and hot video above and scroll through the snaps from the day over on Facebook.
