Wade Cox
SNOQULAMIE, WA – HO Sports & Syndicate Waterskis are pleased to announce the Syndicate Ski With Wade Tour, for 2024, with water ski Hall of Famer Wade Cox. Wade is one of the sport’s most successful slalom skiers and has been riding HO Skis since day one of his Pro career, in 1987, with the pink HO Extreme. Wade’s 47 pro slalom titles, 2 Pro Tour season championships, 6 National titles, 2 Masters Titles and a career that spanned 3 decades is a set of accomplishments that may never be matched.
“I started coaching clinics in 1994 and haven’t stopped! It’s how I can continue to share my passion for the sport….” says Wade Cox. “There’s nothing quite like witnessing skiers try new gear, make huge gains on the water and get to share stories and laugh with them…. That’s really what this sport is about, for me.”
HO & Syndicate Marketing Manager, Marcus Brown adds “I watched Wade Cox dominate the slalom scene when I was a kid, and he continued to do so all the way up until we were standing on the dock together at Pro Events. He’s one of the most knowledgeable skiers out there, and we couldn’t be more fired up to have him touring the country spreading the stoke and sharing his love for skiing!” Check the dates below for a stop in your area, and head to https://skiwithwade.com/clinics/ to Sign Up!

Marcus Brown – Welcome to the Office – HO Sports & Syndicate Skis
SNOQULAMIE, WA – HO Sports & Syndicate Waterskis are pleased to welcome Marcus Brown as Marketing Manager. His journey with HO began back in 1994, at 15 years old, with the HO Limited. Over the years he has worn many hats for the HO/Syndicate brand: pro athlete, ski designer/engineer, grass roots ambassador and coach, filmmaker and producer of FlowPointTV. His vast knowledge of the sport and our brands will bring a ton of value to HO & Syndicate moving forward
As a youngster, Marcus was drawn to the HO brand and what it stood for. In 2008, Marcus’ childhood heroes, Wade Cox and Bob LaPoint, were integral in bringing Marcus back to HO as a professional athlete. His past titles include Jr. Masters, University World, Moomba Masters and U.S. Open Championship as well as an induction into the Collegiate Water Ski Hall of Fame.
For over a decade, Marcus has worked hand in hand with HO Sports’ Production Director, Dave Wingerter, who also leads the Syndicate brand vision. HO & Syndicate have so many exciting products and plans for 2024; we couldn’t be happier with the addition of MB.
“I’ve known and been a fan of Marcus for years…” says Sr. Marketing Director, Greg Nelson “he’s a respected skier and his FlowPointTV series has been epic, looking forward to having Marcus lead the way for our brands.”
“Much of the success I’ve had in the industry has been thanks to the people who made HO/Syndicate what it is today… the risks they took on my crazy ideas has made all the difference.” says Marcus. “I am humbled and honored by this opportunity.”
Sr. Director, Product Development, Dave Wingerter adds “Marcus is a watersports visionary. From winning pro water ski events, reinventing water ski technique, to crafting the finest watersports films in the industry, I am excited for Marcus to showcase our brands.”
