Video: Wakeboarding Through a Cranberry Bog

Along with egg nog and fruitcake, cranberries are amoung the most divisive holiday foodstuffs. Those who like ’em like ’em, and those who don’t will likely not change their mind.

But nobody not nobody won’t dig on this mesmerizing video of professional wakeboarders Ben Horan and Brian Grubb being pulled through the flooded bogs of Wisconsin, filmed in all its high-speed, colorful wavemaking, undulating goodness.   

A crew from RedBull visited “[traveled] to Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin, for one of the most aesthetically pleasing wakeskating sessions you will ever see. Watch what happens when some of the world’s best wakeskaters take over a cranberry bog. Don’t worry, no Cranberries were wasted, or destroyed making this episode.”

The results are an interesting look at the skills of these athletes, the fascinating realities of the cranberry farming business, and some all around good time holiday video cheer.
