Created almost 20 years ago, FISE (International Festival of Extreme Sports), can lay claim to being the biggest action sports event of its kind in the world. Bringing together the best international riders in skateboard, BMX, Mountain Bike and Wakeboard as well as a 400,000 strong crowd. Held over 5 days in the city of Montpellier, in the south of France, FISE has been the focus of the alternative sports world over the past week.

With Australians Mitch Langfild, James Windsor, Arron Gunn, Scott Broom and myself along with the world’s best over there to ride, ‘We got here, we qualified, and then we partied. Before the event we got to free ride on the set up and get some footage. Thanks Steffen Vollert for helping us film.

25 riders came down to 8 including, Mitch Langfield, Sahne Bonifay, Dominik Hernler, James Windsor, Daniel Grant, and Nico Von Lerchenfeld and myself. Ultimately to be taken out by Dominik Hernler.

The 2.0 setup is the prefect way to get wakeboarding into the Urban Landscape and is just another example of how wakeboarding is growing and adapting to a worldwide and diverse sport.

The final results…
