FEATURED STORIES

But the leg belonged to Fil-Briton Mark Griffin, a longtime national rider who ruled the Open men’s wakeboard over Albert Lehman of Davao, Symon Cantos and Dela Torre.

Griffin’s tricks capped by an off-axis 360 spin earned him the nod of the judging panel headed by South Korean Jung Sang-han.
