Tarik Ghoniem at Nokia Fise 08

As posted earlier, the wakeskate comp at Nokia Fise this year was canceled. There was only a hand full of wakeskaters that was going for the intimidating rail setup. One of them was Treeknowledge young gun Tarik Ghoniem. Big props to him for sticking that beasty setup as the first wakeskater!
