Tickets are $10 if you buy them at the event on the day of the event. The TourThe Pro Wakeboard Tour, now in its 17th year, brings one of the fastest-growing water sports to Reno and Sparks on July 11 through the 13, 2008. It's a combination of surfing and water skiing packed into one sport, and it combines the speed and accuracy of both sports. It also includes elements of snowboarding and skateboarding, so it appeals to the entire family and can be thrilling to watch. Some of the tricks can go as high as 25-feet into the air, with many tricks resembling those of snowboarding and other extreme sports. The sport began in San Diego in 1985, when Tony Finn saw the potential of creating a small board, shaped much like a small surfbord, that could be towed behind a boat. The sport has grown and evolved since then, into the championship sport it is today. It is amazing to watch the athletes in action, and the Sparks Marina location will allow spectators great, up close views of all the action.
