Wakeboard center "Cable Krk" in Punat bay on the island Krk, Croatia, hosted for the second time a dynamic entertaining sports spectacle "Cable Krk Jam" from 9 till 11 September 2011.

The backbone of this creative project is the cable wakeboard and wakeskate competition combined with graffiti art, appearances by renowned DJs from the region and live hip hop acts.

53 riders from 10 European countries took part at the international wakeboard and wakeskate competition by IWWF (International Waterski & Wakeboard Federation). The competition was ranked for the Croatian Wakeboard Tour Overall and the IWWF World rankings. Prizes of a total value of 3.000 euro included presents from Carhartt, Oakley and O'Neill and cash prizes from Tag Heuer, Hypo-Alpe-Adria Bank and Desperados. Riders competed in three age categories in wakeboard and open categories for men and women in wakeboard and wakeskate. The winners in the most intense categories, Boys Wakeboard and Open Men Wakeboard were Timo Kapl from Austria and Robert Pokovec from Slovenia, impressing both the judges and the numerous spectators at wakeboard center Cable Krk. More info on event and complete results are available at old.cablewakeboard.net/news/330.html, official website of IWWF Cable Wakeboard Council.

Beautiful weather and perfect conditions for riding throughout the weekend were a real joy for both riders and spectators of Cable Krk Jam.

DJ Preddy (Austria), DJ Jericho (Balance Crew) and Dj Da Costa (Fanatiks) provided the fine selection of hip hop, funk & reggae, and the entire atmosphere reached a new level with live acts of popular hip hop band from Rijeka Balance Crew (www.balance-lifestyle.com).

The dynamic weekend also featured a graffiti session by Sec on the parking lot and the main building of Wakeboard center Cable Krk. After the emotional prize giving ceremony the R'n'B EXCLUSIVE after party continued by early morning hours in Club Jungle in Krk with Dj Jericho and Dj Costa.

The event organizers are the Croatian Waterski Federation, Wakeboard club Krk and Balance, a non profit organization from Rijeka. The goal of this project is the affiliation of wakeboarders, wakeskaters, graffiti artists and all other admirers of music, fashion and this whole lifestyle which makes this event a unique weekend of sports and entertainment.
