MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour Set to Kick Off 20th Season

Acworth, Ga. - The top professional wakeboarders from throughout the
globe are set to hit the waters of Dallas Landing Park in the greater
Atlanta area of Acworth, Ga., on May 19-21, to kick off the 20th season
of MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour, presented by Rockstar Energy Drink.
All the high-flying, rail-sliding water-sports action will take place
just offshore from the park's beach, on Lake Allatoona, where the
sport's top pros will compete for a cash purse and points toward the
season standings for the coveted Pro Tour title.

Throughout the three-day event, riders will compete in a series of
elimination rounds by performing rail tricks and aerial stunts, while
being pulled on the water by the official Pro Tour towboat, the
MasterCraft X-Star, at a speed of approximately 25mph. Tricks are scored
by a panel of judges, with only the top-scoring athletes advancing in
each round until a winner is determined in the finals, on Saturday, May
21.

Following the final rounds of action on Saturday, the Pro Tour will also
host two exhibition events on site, including the Overton's Double Up
Contest and a Big-Air Kicker Contest. Both events are designed to
feature select athletes performing exciting and innovative new tricks
that aren't normally attempted in a traditional contest setting. 

The 2011 Acworth tour stop, will mark the Pro Tour's fifth appearance at
Dallas Landing Park in the last six years. 

Last year, the MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour, presented by Rockstar
Energy Drink made a splash in front of a crowd of more than 8,000
people, as several historical events took place in Acworth. 

Teenage Australian phenom Harley Clifford took first place at Dallas
Landing Park in 2010, after landing a handle pass KGB 540 - the first
ever in a contest. Also former world champion Rusty Malinoski landed one
of the most exciting tricks ever performed in Acworth - a Toeside 1080 -
during the event's Double Up Contest.

The 2011 Pro Tour opener promises to be even better, with addition of
the Pro Women's division. The sport's top female rippers have not
competed at Dallas Landing Park since 2008 and are looking to make an
impact in Acworth during their return.

In addition to all the action on the water; on land, fans will enjoy
plenty of great food; athlete autograph signings; chances to win
freebies; product sampling, and shopping at the most cutting-edge stores
for water-sports equipment including boats, wakeboards, wakeskates,
sunglasses and the latest in wakeboarding and surfing fashions. At the
Pro Tour's entertainment stage, guests can catch athlete interviews,
color commentators and interactive live music.

The first two days of action in Acworth feature qualifying rounds for
riders, and is free to the public to watch. Saturday, May 21 will be a
ticketed event beginning at 10:30 a.m. and ending at 8 p.m. Friday, May
19 will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday's event will run from 8
a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Tickets are available at the gate: $13 (adult); $5 (ages 6-12); free
(ages 5 and under); or $7 (adult) if purchased online.
