Kingsland, TX – June 3, 2025 — A major wave is hitting the Texas Hill Country this summer as Lake LBJ welcomes the inaugural Wakepoint Open presented by NXTLVL Marine, a premier wakeboarding and wakesurfing competition taking place August 15–17, 2025. With over $40,000 in cash prizes and a high-energy weekend of elite riding, live music, and lakeside action, this event is poised to become one of the region’s top summer attractions.
The Wakepoint Open — a three-day celebration of wakeboarding, wakesurfing, and lake life culture — is set to attract elite athletes from around the world along with locals and lake-lovers alike.
“This is more than just a comp — it’s the start of something big,” said Scott Westlund, event organizer. “The Wakepoint Open is where Central Texas shows out and the next chapter in wake culture begins.”
Designed as both a spectator experience and athlete showcase, the Wakepoint Open will feature professional and amateur divisions in both wakeboarding and wakesurfing, including a $20,000 shootout that promises to raise the bar for Texas watersports competition.
Spectators can expect high-flying action, live music, local flavor, and laid-back lakeside hangs — all with a front-row seat to the gnarliest riding of the summer.
