Come along with the Nike 6.0 wake team as they search out the sickest winch spots in Curacao and do work in front of awe-struck tourists and locals alike. When your "work" crew consists of some of the world's most talented wakeskaters and wakeboarders, you know minds are going to be blown. And the guys did not disappoint as they laid nails and dropped hammers all day, while capturing banger shots and incredible footage.

“Curacao was an action-filled travel trip for the Nike 6.0 wake team," said Team Mentor, Silas Thurman. "The team - from all different parts of the US and Canada - made their way to Curacao, one of the ABC islands for their yearly action and lifestyle shoot. World-renowned photographer, Joey Meddock came along to capture all the traveling, action and tomfoolery the team got into.”

Suffice it to say, when your work travel brings you to places like Curacao you know you're doing something right. And after just one view of the above video, we think you'll agree - these guys are doing everything right.

Remote Board Up For Grabs

It’s been a long wait for the Remote boards to come out. But, the boys won’t apologize. The team has been hard at work on every aspect of design to come up with the perfect board, not only for the team riders, but for the heart and soul of wakeskating. From the materials they use, exact rocker lines, concave, and even down to how they want the graphics to fit “Remote." They are only days from shipping their first batches out to your local shops, but as they finished the first batch they came up with this idea, which Nike 6.0 wake mentor and Remote's, Silas Thurman explains:

"The responses we’ve been getting from the public, emails, phone calls, online posts and word of mouth have kept us motivated and we want to give back our appreciation for that. We pulled our first board off the production line, put a limited one time only first graphic on it and it’s going to one of you. Use this board as you like, but remember this is literally Remote’s first production board and we hope you cherish it as much as we cherish giving it to you."

Here are the rules: Please write a short sentence about why you need Remote's first board. Send all emails to silas@remotewakeskates.com. The three partners in the Remote venture - Andrew Pastura, Ben Horan and Silas - will pick the winner on Monday the 29th and will personally be shipping you the board along with some other goodies.

"We love everyone’s support and appreciate you waiting for us," says Silas. "It took us this long for a reason and you will see that in all of our products."
