FISE, the International Extreme Sport Festival is pleased to announce its 13th edition in 2009, giving you rendez-vous from May 20-24 in downtown Montpellier on “Les Rives du Lez,” in the South of France.

FISE is the biggest European Pro Freestyle Contest and will once again be host to more than 1,500 professional and amateur athletes from all over the world in Skateboard, Wakeboard, BMX, Slopestyle MTB and Inline Skating.

It is home to the largest European BMX and roller street course and with more than 200 hours of TV broadcasting, hundreds of pages in the press and 300,000 visitors expected over the 5 day event, this is sure to be one of the highlights of the action sport season. New for this year, the pro wakeboard contest will be held in joint collaboration with WWA France and WWA Europe, bringing you the top international athletes in the sport, along with world renowned US rider and master rail builder Pat Panakos as Chief Judge. The wakeboard portion of the event will also be more intense this year with the help of 4 Sesitec System 2.0 cables. The Sesitec System 2.0s will pull riders continiously giving them the chance to maximize rail hits and spectator appeal.

The World Wakeboard Association Europe (WWA-E) is proud to be partnering with the FISE to bring you the very best in wakeboarding action.
