Throw it Down Girls!

This all female wakeboard video celebrates the launch of an all new website created by Ally Boothroyd to promote and support girls wakeboarding and wakeskating. Featuring Erika Langman, Kayle McMillen, Leslie Sparkes and Ally Boothroyd of Ontario, Canada.

Although equal participation and opportunity for girls in the sport of wakeboarding may not be as important as something like the right to vote, its still an area where old habits die hard. Maybe its partly because of a lack of encouragement and opportunity from the industry, and partly because of a lack of confidence and initiative from the girls, but whatever the reason, female wakeboarders are overshadowed by the boys when it comes to sponsorship, participation, competition categories/prizes, exposure, and hype in general. This is why, like those passionate women before us, the ladies behind throwitdown.ca are putting their thoughts into action in an attempt to bring womens wakeboarding in Canada up to speed with the boys.

Our goal is to unite and encourage all females from beginners to destroyers on an international level. We are here for girls who are interested in trying wakeboarding for the first time, or thinking about taking their boarding to the next level and entering the competitive circuit and even for the circuit veterans who are trying to get recognized by both sponsors and media.
