The high-flying, rail-sliding, water-sports action of the MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour is returning to Sparks, Aug. 14-16, for the fifth and final stop of the 2009 season. The three-day event, held on the waters of Sparks Marina, features the top pro male and female wakeboarders from throughout the world competing for a cash purse by performing rail tricks and aerial stunts, while being towed on the water behind the official Pro Tour towboat, the MasterCraft X-Star, at a speed of approximately 25 mph.

The MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour is a five-stop series points race for the coveted Pro Tour title. Athletes accumulate points at each tour stop based on final placement in each event. The highest total points-earner at the end of the five-event season will take home the Pro Tour title and a cash bonus.

In addition to all the action on the water, spectators on land will enjoy great food and music; athlete autograph signings; chances to win freebies; and shopping at the most cutting-edge stores for water-sports equipment including boats, wakeboards, wakeskates, sunglasses and the latest in wakeboarding and surfing fashions.

The event will run from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 14; 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 15; and 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 16.

Tickets can be purchased at the gate on event dates for $10 (general admission), $5 (ages 6-12) or free (ages 5 and under).
