  Longest distance traveled on a wakeboard - Wake Nation team sets world record
            
  FAIRFIELD, OH, USA -- A team of 10 wake boarders completed 1,448 laps for 506.8 miles in a 24-hour period at Wake Nation Cincinnati , setting the world record for the longest distance traveled on a wakeboard in 24 hours by a team.

   Donations and pledges from the event benefited MedLend, a nonprofit organization that provides medical missions to impoverished countries around the globe.

   There were certain pros that we knew we wanted to have on the team,” said team member and co-owner of Wake Nation Pete Kennedy.

    Peter Kennedy, the co-owner of the water park and his business partner, Nick Binkley, were on the team that also includes three professionals: 2009 Australian National Champion Amber Wing, 2008 World Wake Park Champion Tom Fooshee and 2009 WWA National Champion Adam Errington.

   The rest of the team included Liquid Force founder Tony Finn, Wakeboarding Magazine managing editor Brian Wheeler, Liquid Force team rider Neill Barker and distributor of the Rixen cable system, Mike Olson.

    The 10th spot was to be held by professional J.D. Webb, but he couldn’t participate due to an injury.

    “If another cable park tries to beat it, we’ll come back and beat it the next year,” Kennedy said. “Certainly if anyone tried to beat this, we would beat it again.”

    Kennedy hopes that achieving the new record will generate more interest in wake boarding.

    “I think this will put us on the map and the wakeboarding community on a global level,” Kennedy said. Wakeboarding is just getting a hold in Cincinnati and I think Wake Nation helping that will help bring a lot of new people to the sport.”
