LANTANA, FL [May 27, 2008]—After an injury kept her out of the Wake Games last month, rookie pro wakeboarder Raimi Merritt roared back onto the water with a stunning second place finish this weekend at the Masters Water Ski and Wakeboard Tournament. The prestigious, invitation-only event was held May 23-25, in Callaway Gardens, Georgia. Merritt finished just three points behind the pro women's division leader, Dallas Friday.
Merritt, who just turned 15 in April, is the youngest of the pro women wakeboarders and one of the most promising. Her coach, Mike Ferraro, believes she has the ability to be among the best in the sport. Since turning pro last September, she's been heating up the competition among older, more experienced female riders.
Merritt is sponsored by Liquid Force Wakeboards, MonaVie Nutrition Beverage, R3 Global, and Fly High Wakeboard Gear. For more information about Merritt, visit: www.raimimerritt.com.
