Team Dred was founded in 2002 when Brett Hodgkins, Ryan Blake and Jonty Green were travelling as Guest riders of Ola Nygards to one of the most kick ass wakeboard competitions ever, known as 'The Mega Wake Festival' in the beautiful country of Sweden.
DJ's, Bands, Skaters, Snowboarders and Wakeboarders were all united at an amzing venue in the small town of Fjallbacka.
Whilst travelling through the amazing valleys of Sweden on a 30 foot yacht with sandwiches and Jim Beam, we all started talking about what we could do to help raise the profile of the sport we all love so passionately. Our main aspiration is to get more people involved in it.
We decided to put this team together which would enable us to perform demos, coaching clinincs and events at various sites which would attract more people, especially kids and giver people the oppourtunity to watch pro riders and encourage others to get involved.
Having a team of riders enables us to create those all important kickers, sliders and rails to assist the forward momentum of a new progression of wakeboarding. these obstacles add a highly technical aspect to the sport introducing a crossover style from that of skateboarding and snowboarding.
The Good Stuff:
Our sliders come in two formats
1] A double spine kicker with an optional flat bar in the centre:
For the more advanced riders who are experienced in hitting obstacles and wish to further improve their skills
2] A real gradual user friendly flat bar slider:
Designed for boarders of any level to hit, with the aspect of safety in mind. Beginers will have the ease of smooth transition from water to rail and the more advanced can practice falt spins and nose presses.
These obstacles also provide a great point of focus for the spectator.
The Programme:
We're forver moving forward. A new member has joined our team, Pete Ward. Watch this space for this years plans, dates, coming events, coaching clinics and demos.

Plans
This year we are forever busy getting sponsors on board and getting our name out there to show people what we are all about.
We are riding and coaching at the Costworlds - WMSKI, Quayside Wake & Ski, Pentney and various other lakes around the country.
We'll be around at Princes for the Cable Nationals on the 9th/10th June, working it and talent scouting for new riders.
Brett and Ryan are venturing out to Greece for a couple of weeks for a coaching and demo tour. We're setting up camp in Lindos from the 23rd June 07 - the place we become alight!
Wakestock 07 is forever getting closer. 20-22 July will see the best riders and music talent form around the world come together for one of the best events of the year at a breath taking venue in Abersoch, North Wales. Team Dred will be there in force, riding, scouting, promoting and partying hard. Don't miss it!
Quayside Nightmare Slide will take place on Friday 13th July at the Mychett based U.K Team training site in Surrey. Riders form allover will attempt to slide the longest slider in the world well into the darkness of the night!
The U.K nationals will be the place to be for top riding this year. With the full team entering and our sliders being used for the competition it should be a good event, with limits being pushed. This year they take place August 11th/12th at Quayside Wake and Ski.
The first Team Dred Event, with kind support from Mastercraft UK will take place on August the 18th at Pentney Lakes. The day will consist of a coaching clinic in the AM with all the Team Dred Riders, then a slider based freeride evet will follow in the PM. Bands, DJ's, Bar and BBQ will be standard post riding entertainment in the evening.
