BROstock, brought to you by Liquid Force, returns after two decades. BROstock will take place June 27th and June 28th 2025 on Lake Lanier, at Olympic Park, in Gainesville, Georgia. 

BROstock will be pulled by Axis and is partnered with One Wake and Melin and others.

From Day One, the Liquid Force mantra has been all about bringing as many people as possible together to celebrate the boating lifestyle on the water. Liquid Force has always been about getting people out on the boat and introducing them to the incredible sport of wakeboarding and the community and lifestyle wrapped around it. It’s all about days on the lake with friends and family, shredding and making memories. It was in that mindset that a Liquid Force photoshoot trip to Lake Powell organically became the initial BROstock in 2005. From that moment, the word spread virally and BROstock consistently doubled in size year over year. With legendary events at Lake Powell, Bull Shoals and Lake of the Ozarks; Lake Lanier outside of Atlanta, Georgia is the perfect place to rekindle this once per year watersports community event and create incredible memories and brand value.

For BROstock 2015, I’d planned on rolling into St. Louis on Friday night with Rusty and Rathy, and we’d share a rental car to Lake of the Ozarks. We had a comically small rental car and somehow managed to fit most of Rusty’s biceps in the back. Anyone who has hung out with Rusty for extended periods in confined spaces will understand how a three-to-four-hour trip goes. I started mapping our way to the Ozarks, only to have Rathy assure me that he had it covered in his iPhone.

wakeboarding
Nope, Lake of the Ozarks is not in Illinois. WKB

After three hours of recognizing absolutely none of the scenery, and fairly certain we had crossed into another state, I casually inquired as to whether we were traveling in the right direction. Rathy reassured me that he had everything sorted, and he had the official bar of BROstock (Captain Ron’s) locked into Google Maps. After driving another hour, Rathy lets us know we are only five minutes away, but at this point I’m calling bull$#&@. By then it should have been obvious that we were nowhere near where we needed to be. Either that or Lake of the Ozarks had seen some serious urban sprawl and expansion. I opened my Google Maps and added the destination, which quickly proved we had driven almost five hours in the opposite direction … and into a different state.

wakeboarding
The international symbol for “wrong way.” WKB

Anyone who has ever traveled with Rusty in adverse situations will understand his reaction to this news. Once his bright-red face dimmed and the onslaught of curse words subsided, we pulled ourselves together and set off on another eight hours to Lake of the Ozarks.

Lessons learned: Never let Rathy navigate and never rent a hatchback with Rusty, especially if you don’t know where you’re going.

We came across this video of long-time shredder, BroStock champion, and wakeboard advocate Adam Fields riding this spring. In classic Fields fashion, he cranks off tech tricks both switch and regular with ease. Lucky for you all, you can go ride with him whenever you want. Well maybe not “whenever” considering your request will have to fall in line with an opening in his schedule, which might be hard to find in the heat of the summer. Check out AFwake.com to figure that out. Thanks to Jonathan Barni for putting it together.
