OAKLEY POOL JAM - BIGGEST IN WAKEBOARDING!

Wakestock's Oakley Pool continues to raise the bar and set the standard as the grand-daddy of all wake winch pools. Almost doubling in size from last year's groundbreaking pool and rail park, this year's Oakley Pool features three expanded pools and two all new rail sets, covering 400 feet of real estate.

The first rail set features a 20 foot high transfer over a 14 stair set with dual entry rails for respective regular and goofy foot riders. The second rail set features a massive 70 foot long funbox with multiple lines.

Designed by Pat Panakos of The Projects, with the assistance of Canadian rail build guru Jimmy Brace, input from SBC Wakeboard Editor Adam Levitt and Wakestock Build Director Todd Elsley, and the Oakley International Wakeboard and Wakeskate Team, the Oakley Pool took over two weeks to build by a full time crew.
