The Red Bull Wake Open, which drew thousands to the Downtown Tampa waterfront last year, will once again return to the Tampa Bay area for its 2013 run.
Scheduled for the weekend of July 5-6, the 2013 Red Bull Wake Open will bring together 36 professional wakeboarding athletes representing seven countries to compete in a number of categories including wake park (or, cable-pulled), boat, and big air.
Red Bull expects 25,000 to 30,000 spectators and an estimated $5 million dollars in economic impact for the area, said Eric Blanc, director of sales, marketing and convention services, to the Tampa Bay Business Journal earlier this week.
The 2013 Red Bull Wake Open will take place on Friday and Saturday, July 5-6 on the waterfront outside the Tampa Convention Center where previous Red Bull events like last year's Wake Open and Red Bulls Flugtag have taken place.
The 2013 Red Bull Wake Open is completely free to attend for the public and will be broadcasted live on Saturday, July 6 at 4:00 p.m. on NBC as part of the Red Bull Signature Series.
