MACKAY wakeboarders turned up the heat and showed off their best tricks for the finale event of Rumble on the Reef yesterday afternoon.
Entrants in the Ca$h for Tricks at Wakehouse Cable Park included a son, father and grandfather all wakeboarding at the same time.
Spectator Ava Saran, who was there with her friend, Mia Bensley, said the action was “pretty rad”.
“I like watching everyone go full send,” Ms Saran said.

For the Page family from Blacks Beach, the event gave their children a taste of wakeboarding, which they are thinking about taking up.
