Zeke & Zoe Battle It Out At Waco At The Swatch Nines Event
This past week in Waco Texas, some very talented and fringe lunatics gathered in Waco Texas to take part in the Swatch Nines Events.
According to Swatch, this was the most extreme event theyve dreamed up yet.
"Thanks to the cutting-edge technology and insights from our Swatch Pro-team and the crew at Waco Surf, the largest inland surfing and water sports facility in the US, The Nines at Waco will become the ultimate athletic playground. Surfers will each be given a six-hour session to unleash their creativity on their “dream waves.” At the same time, top skaters will be skating on the platform next to the pool!"
With that press release, just how the "Swatch Nines" event was going to shake out was anyones guess. Rusty team riders Jacob "Zeke"Szekely and Zoe McDougall made the trek to Texas and the footage we received back has been insane.
New Format
"This brand-new Swatch Nines event represents a triple first: It’s the first Nines surf event, the first Nines event to be held in the US and the first time a Nines course will blur the boundaries between land and water!"
The crew at Swatch invited some of the best rippers of sports including surf, skate, snow, wake, skim, bmx and anyone who likes a good time.
Surfers included Coco Ho, Noah Beschen and our own Zeke and Zoe McDougall. They took to the pool in what looks like absolute chaos but it sure ended up a helluva a fun time.
