The 2010 WWA Wake Park World Series and the 2010 WWA Wakeboard World Series completed their ten total stops last weekend at Camsur Watersports Complex, Philippines (CWC). Each World Series traveled to four separate countries, then were able to come together for the unique final stop at the CWC Ultimate Wake Championships.

The 2010 WWA Wake Park World Series was set in destinations such as Germany, Netherlands, USA, Turkey, and Philippines. Each country had the fortunate experience to witness the best Wake Park riders in the world, such as Tom Fooshee, Dominik Guehrs, and Lior Sofer, battle it out for the title.

The 2010 Overall Wake Park Champ, Tom Fooshee speaks about the Series, “The 2010 WWA Wake Park World Series was my favorite Wake Park Series yet. It covered a larger span of the globe than any other Wake Park World Series, and we got to ride at the best parks in the World.”

While the 2010 WWA Wakeboard World Series visited Brazil, Canada, Abu Dhabi, USA, and Philippines, the series retained its fair amount of heated point battles as well. CWB teammates, Trevor Hansen and Andrew Adkison, battled all year for their bragging rights.

Hansen’s thoughts on the year: “I am super pumped to end up in second overall for the World Series. There was some awesome riding that went down throughout the different events. Can’t wait for next year!”

From Lake Alfred, FL

Camsur Watersports Complex was proud to host the final stop of the 2010 WWA Wakeboard World Series January 20-23. The exotic five stop series included Brazil, Canada, Abu Dhabi, USA, and Philippines. Each stop combined the top wakeboarders from around the world in their attempt to capture the 2010 WWA Wakeboard World Series Overall Title.

Even-though defending champion Phil Soven of the USA captured his forth Wakeboard World Series Title, everyone had their eyes set on the points race between CWB teammates Trevor Hansen of the USA and Andrew Adkison of the USA. Hansen started the Series off with three finishes ahead of Adkison, but the light shined on Adkison in Canada as Hansen’s lead was narrowed by Adkison’s near podium finish. However, Hansen was quick to retaliate at the 2010 WWA Rockstar Worlds with a 3rd place finish earning a total of 37 more points than Adkison. Both riders had a strong finish at the final stop of the World Series, but in the end it was Hansen that claimed his highest finish in a WWA Wakeboard World Series claiming 2nd place just behind Soven. Austin Hair and Danny Thollander round out the top five.

Hansen’s thoughts on the year: “I am super pumped to end up in second overall for the World Series. There was some awesome riding that went down throughout the different events. Can’t wait for next year!”

Adkison states: “Knowing the level of the International field that competed this year, earning a top 3 overall finish is something I’m very excited about.”

Keep an eye out for next year’s WWA Wakeboard World Series to be released soon. The riders are already gearing up for an exciting 2011 season.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 18th, 2010

Harley Clifford took a commanding lead in the Wakeboard World Series this past weekend in Brazil with his win at the RAGGA WAKE WORLD SERIES event in Belo Horizonte. After his victory at the first stop in Wakestock Abu Dhabi, Clifford felt no pressure throughout the weekend and made some of the hardest runs of the weekend look effortless.

The conditions in Belo Horizonte for the event could not have been any better… sunshine, calm water, great food, killer parties at night, and the most beautiful and hospitable people in the world.

The qualifiers went down on Friday, with the top 12 riders advancing to the Quarter Final round on Saturday afternoon. There was an LCQ on Saturday morning that boosted Adam Errington, Kyle Rattray, Scotty Broome, and local Brazilian rider Mario Manzoli in the Quarters. The Quarter Final round had some of the best riding of the weekend, but only 8 riders moved on to the Semis and it knocked out a few of the top pros including Adam Errington and Rusty Malinoski.

The biggest crowds of the weekend lined the shores on Sunday for the Semi Finals that included the top 8 riders, but it was JD Webb, Trevor Hansen, Phil Soven and Harley Clifford that went out of the Semis and into the 4 man Final. JD Webb was the pace car for the finals, but two falls on his first pass left the door somewhat open for the rest of the boys. Phil and Trevor both but it together in their two passes but fell on their double ups. Harley did what Harley does, and landed everything he set out to accomplish and made it look easy. The 16 year old Australian landed a toe 9 off the double up and took home $7,000 in cash for the win!

The next stop of the WWA Wakeboard World Series will be in Abersoch, Wales at Wakestock UK. Only the top 10 riders in the WWA World Series are invited to Wakestock UK, and anyone else can qualify through a local support event.
