“I am so stoked for the 2021 Nautique Wakesurf Series to kick off,” commented Nautique athlete John Akerman. “Every year there are so many new surfers to meet that are excited to try competitive wake surfing! Nautique Boats and The WWA always spread the stoke by providing the best venues, judging legends, and best of all the most innovative wakesurf waves in the industry!”

The series will once again play host to the most diverse field of competitors in wakesurfing. Surfers spanning the globe will compete for points on the Nautique Wakesurf Series Rankings System. Surfers will earn points based on their placement within their division at each event they attend for the 2021 season. The winners at each stop of the series will automatically secure their invite to the crowning jewel event of the season: the Nautique Masters Wakesurf Championships, presented by YANMAR. Fans and surfers alike will be able to follow all of the action at thewwa.com/nautiquesurfseries.

Another first that only Nautique and The WWA can bring to our event participants is a day at the Surf Ranch this fall. Yes, you heard that correctly. The overall Pro Women and Pro Men winners of the Nautique Wakesurf Series will have the opportunity to spend a day shredding perfect waves created by Kelly Slater Wave Co. and the perfect waves behind the G23 at the Surf Ranch in Lemoore, California. In addition, the winners of all amateur divisions at each stop on the 2021 Nautique Wakesurf Series will be entered into a random drawing for two additional spots up for grabs at the Surf Ranch. Additional information on the Surf Ranch experience will be posted on thewwa.com website.

“The Nautique Wakesurf Series is back and looking stronger than ever for 2021,” said Nautique President Greg Meloon. “The best wakesurfers will be hosted at scenic locations across the world to get on the water and showcase their talents, as well as enjoy celebrating the sport they love with friends and family. I can’t wait to see how the sport progresses this year while on the biggest stage for wakesurfing and behind the best wakesurf boats on the water, as well as the fun the winners will have at the Surf Ranch this fall.”

The Nautique Wakesurf Series will provide the pinnacle of wakesurf competition, creating a global platform for athletes to come to define themselves as the sport’s elite with seven stops spanning across the globe.

昨年は日本で世界初となるｗｗａアジアチャンピオンシップが開催され

本年はマリブエボリューションプロが琵琶湖で開催される事が凄く嬉しく思います。

また、同時にアジアでは日本が先頭に立ち、マリブ・アクシス アジアツアーも開催されます。

アジアでｗｗａのイベントが開催される様になり日本のライダー達もアジアライダーとの交流もあり喜んでいます。

Q２.これからアジア諸国でイベントが開催され、アジアのウェイクシーンが成長、発展していくことに関して、トップライダーとして何を提供していけるか。

やはりアジアの環境やスキルレベルはアメリカやオーストラリアに比べるとまだまだ未熟です。

今まで世界を旅してきた経験を活かし、環境整備やライダー達のスキルアップのサポートをしていきたいと思います。

そして僕の持っているコネクションを活かしライダー達が気軽に安心して海外へ行ける様に勤めていきます。

Q３.これから先頭を切って日本、アジアのウェイクシーンをリードしていくことについて、日本のウェイクファン達へのメッセージ。

日本を中心にアジアのウェイクシーンはまだまだ発展していくと思います。

アジアの環境を整備する事で海外ライダーがもっとアジアへ来る様になり、また日本人ライダーも海外へ行きやすくなる様な環境ができると思います。

その為には僕達の様なライダーがもっと海外へ行き、日本アジアへ情報をインポートしなければなりません。

アジア・日本のウェイクボード発展の為に私たちは頑張ります。
