The 2012 Liquid Force Free For All tour will be coming to Texas Ski Ranch in New Braunfels, Texas for the third year in a row on April 29. This is a free event open to the public.
Liquid Force and TSR are teaming up to open TSR's cable lake to wakeboarders and water skiers free of charge for a single day. There will be many attractions on-site. Brand new 2012 Liquid Force equipment will be available to demo on the cable lake at no cost. There will be free food and drinks, along with free prize giveaways from event sponsors Spy Optic, Sanuk, GoPro, Monster Energy, Frends, TransWorld Wakboarding Magazine, New Era and Axis Wake Research.
"The Liquid Force Free For All is the one designated day out of the year where the public can come out and ride for free," stated Catie Bialick, head of marketing and partnership for TSR. "We have teamed up with Liquid Force to not only give everyone the opportunity to learn to wakeboard, but also a chance to meet and ride with some of the best pro wakeboarders and wakeskaters in the world! 'No cash flow? No prob' bro. Everyone rides free!'"

The locals whom frequent TSR's facilities are thrilled Free For All is making its return.
"It’s going to be exciting," said Charles Huebner, Canyon Lake resident and TSR regular. "Liquid Force comes out here and they promote the sport. They have all the riders involved come out here and promote the sport. The cable operators promote the sport. Hopefully it gets more people involved. When you are on a boat, you got the driver and watchers and then what? Here you got a whole crowd to hang out, ride, eat and enjoy the environment."
Several members of Liquid Force’s team of professional riders will be on hand to ride, sign autographs, give instruction, talk about new gear and hang out with attendees. Team riders attending include such notable wakeboarders and wakeskaters as Aaron Reed, Daniel Grant, Steel Lafferty, James Balzer and WWA Wake Park World Champion, not to mention Texas State University graduate, Tom Fooshee.
“Everyone at Liquid Force loves Free For All,” Liquid Force Founder Tony Finn stated to media outlets. “We love that it’s so accessible to everyone! Our goal with this whole series is to expose new people to the fun that we all enjoy, and Free For All is accomplishing that! It’s a no risk, no investment day on the water to give wakeboarding a test run. Our hope is that everyone falls in love with it like we have and wants to come back, which most everyone does!”

Last year's event resulted in a massive turnout for the event and TSR hopes to do the same this year, as well as promote upcoming events this summer.
"Last years turnout was close to 750," stated Bialick. "The weather was beautiful and everyone had a great time. This is also the weekend before Cablestock, our largest event of the year, and this helps generate excitement for that. This is one of our favorites times of the year."

There is plenty to check out other than the free wakeboarding."
