Launch of the John Wayne “M-Gap” Rail

Matt Hickman | Events, Uncategorized

Every year the Triple-S grows, both in athlete participation and excitement, as well as in the event itself, the parties and the REAL Slider Park. This year, John Wayne Cancer Foundation stepped up to the plate and launched a new rail into the park that redefined the standard for kiteboarding obstacles worldwide. This new rail was built by The Wake Park Project in Florida, constructed with welded aluminum and covered in HDPE (high density polyethylene). Basically, it is going to last longer than any of us reading this article AND it is perfectly designed, a true work of genius!  The new John Wayne rail is 82’ feet long and features a removable gap section in the middle, so it can be set up as an “A-Frame” or a “M-Gap Rail”. To see it in the water brings only jaw dropping awe….

The only thing even close to the experience of seeing the JWCF in the water is looking at a 100’ maxi ocean racing sailboat pulling out of Newport to set a new Transatlantic record. It’s that tight, that powerful and that perfect. The new John Wayne rail means business and from the second it was delivered to REAL (on two flat bed trucks driving thru the night from Florida) the Triple-S athletes were drooling!
