***An established grassroots wakeboarding event, the MSC focuses on fun and pushes for progress among SETx local & regional riders. All are welcome; all levels of riders and all levels of SPECTATORS! Bring your: towels, sunscreen, coolers (no glass) & lawn chairs.

The 9th annual SETx MSC is this weekend! Come kick-off the Mid-Summer Friday night June 24th on the dance-floor of Star Bar on Crockett Street and enjoy drink specials and good music! The wakeboarding tournament will be all day on Saturday the 25th; registration starts at 8am; novice begins at 9am; outlaw begins around 2pm and the event ends when it ends. When the sun goes down, we’ll have DJ Bazar mixin’ it up for the post-event party so GEAR-UP…the 2011 SETx MSC is scheduled to rock!

Division(s):

Novice – wake jumps, grabs & 180s, NO inverts or w2w 360s… (if you’re flippin’ or spinnin’ we’d like to invite you to ride in our advanced division.)

Advanced – up to 3 inverts; spins up to 360. No repeated tricks.

Expert – up to 7 inverts; no mobes, spins up to 540. No repeated tricks.

Outlaw – anything goes. Rider’s must wear a helmet if they’re going to shred the flat-bar. [WARNING: Our water level is low which makes the ollie's onto our rails over 30 inches. Experienced riders with 'super-legit' ollies are the only riders that will have a chance to hit rails. Pray for rain people, but the boat lanes are still good and the Malibu wakes are still big!]

Wakeskate – anything goes. Rider’s must wear a helmet and a rocket-pack to hit the rails. haha just kiddin’ but the ollie is over 30 inches; BEWARE!

Plan to stay both Friday & Saturday night in Beaumont at either our lake (tents & RVs only) or rent a room from an array of local hotels. Either way, make it into Beaumont for the SETx Mid-Summer Classic 2011. We’ll treat you right!

Last years’ SETx Mid-Summer Classic boasted nearly 70 competitors and over 500 spectators from the surrounding region. Presented by Darryl Moore’s Marine & Malibu Boats the 2010 event was spectacular.

Recap below Images:

SETx Wakeboarding proves once again that the Mid-Summer Classic is a top-tier grassroots event. From the Friday night Pre-Party in Downtown Beaumont to the exceptional weather conditions on Saturday, each of our 66 competitors and over 500 spectators thoroughly enjoyed our private lake for the weekend.

Darryl Moore’s Marine provided the Malibu Boats which kicked up quality wakes for each division. Wetsounds hooked up the Mid-Summer Classic with some heavy acoustics and an overall killer vibe. It was crazy to see it all come together and we definitely wouldn’t have been able to do it without these guys. Much props to our 2010 partners. We appreciate it!

Among the swimmin’, grillin’, sun-tannin’ & chillin’ the RIDIN’ at the Mid-Summer Classic was the best we’ve ever seen. From the lil rippers in the Novice division, all the way to the semi-pro Outlaws, we definitely saw an increase in the skill level at this years event. On more than one occasion, our SETx judges found themselves in a pickle trying to place the top 3 riders in their respective divisions. Although outcomes could have possibly went a few different directions, these are the results:
