Copeland Durham Looks to Bounce Back at Air Nautique WWA Nationals

Posted by WG Laura
July 17th, 2010

Sparks, Nev. – Emily Copeland Durham is one the most highly decorated pro female wakeboarders in the world, but in 2009, the Denver native decided to put her career on hold to start a family and give birth to her first born child. Now nearly a year and half since her last professional contest, Copeland Durham returned to the pro wakeboard scene today by hitting the waters of Sparks Marina for the Pro Women’s division quarterfinals at the Air Nautique WWA Wakeboard National Championships, presented by ROCKSTAR.

“I’m just excited to be back out on the water, doing what I love,” said Copeland Durham. “The other girls have stepped up their riding so much since I last competed, but I’ve been training and my goal is to finish within the top three in the contest.”

Copeland Durham’s first shot at a triumphant return came today, as she finished second in her heat, advancing onto tomorrow’s semifinals.

“I was a little nervous about riding, but felt I had a good run today,” said Copeland Durham. “Now that I got my first run out of the way, I’m feeling a little more confident going in to tomorrow.”

Should Copeland Durham advance in the semifinals and win her division on Sunday, it will mark her second national title since 2001. Coincidently, Sparks Marina was the site of her last professional win, back in 2008.

The Pro Women will hit the water again tomorrow, July 17 at 11 a.m. for their semifinal round of action.

Air Nautique Wake Games Roundup

Posted by WG Laura
May 3rd, 2010

2010-05-02-395
After a long and hot four days, Wake Games finally came to a close on Sunday, May 2. We were blown away by the organization of the event (big ups to Priscilla Scollin and the entire World Sports and Marketing team for a job WELL done), but also by the quality of the riding at all levels. The pool of Professional Women riders was 16 deep this year, with a six-rider final that included rookie Anna Hajek throwing it down as if she’s been riding with the Pro Women for years. The tricks we saw included Amber Wing’s whirlybird (which gets better every year) and Raimi Merritt’s s-bend, as well as a new tantrum to blind from Dallas Friday that got her the top spot on the podium. Both Amber and Raimi attempted toe 720′s on their bonus trick at the end of their runs. These girls are bringing it, and we can’t wait to see what they do this summer. We have a feeling it’s going to be out of sight! Check out the Pro Women Final video, and the final Wake Games results below.
