Stereo Wakeski Co. was founded in Norway in 2007 and is the only company in the world truly based on this new sport. The idea came from the fast-growing twin tip ski trend on snow, and Stereo Wakeski Co. mission is to transfer this culture to the water. "The Stereo European Wakeski Open is an important step in developing wakeskiing into a legit and independent sport" says Jens-Martin Johnsrud, CEO and owner of Stereo Wakeski Co.

"Wakeskiing is growing rapidly, and besides the US, Germany is one of our most important markets. It is also the heart of cable wakeboarding in Europe with approximateley 80 cable parks. Turncable in Thannhausen, which opened just last year, was our first choice when searching for a place to host this competition." says Kristian Hvaara, Sales and Marketing Manager and owner of Stereo Wakeski Co. "They really believe in the future of this sport and were stoked that we wanted to use their site."
