This summer the tour travels to three new locations including Adrenaline Adventures in Winnipeg, Manitoba, McCormick’s Cable Park in Tampa, Florida and Hydrous-Allen Wake Park in Allen, Texas. Each state-of-the-art wake park is gearing up for this one-of-a-kind wake park contest series.

This exciting new wake park, located adjacent to Allen High School will bring the masses out to see what will likely be a dramatic finale of the 2011 Monster Energy WWA Wake Park Triple Crown.

“America’s Cable Park Group and Hydrous – Allen Wake Park are excited to work with Monster Energy and the WWA as we host our first Wake Park Triple Crown and Wake Park Nationals in the same year,” states owner Chad Lacerte, “Allen Station Park is a tremendous setting for this event which advances our goals to give the youth fun, exciting, and community building activities to be involved in.”

Last year, the 2010 Monster Energy WWA Wake Park Triple Crown was largely dominated by wake park sensation, Tom Fooshee. Though in the final round at the WWA Wake Park National Championships held in Cincinnati, Lior Sofer of Israel, managed to hand Tom Fooshee his first loss in years. Lior finished the series second overall behind Fooshee, followed closely by Keith Lidberg and an ever-growing global crew of athletes. Make sure to keep a close eye on the 2011 Monster Energy WWA Wake Park Triple Crown this year as riders attempt to lay down the most progressive lines to claim the title. Riders such as Lior Sofer, Keith Lidberg, Marc Shuster, and European wildcard riders, like Nick Davies, Freddie Van Osten, and Dominik Guehrs will all be vying for Fooshee’s title.

Four-time WWA Wake Park World Series defending champion, Tom Fooshee of the USA, touches on the difficult competition, “I have a lot of competition from all around the world to compete against.  It will surely be a very tough challenge to hold on to my title in 2011.”

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

The 2010 WWA Wake Park World Series finished its five stop Wakeboard contest series last weekend. Each of the five hosting countries, which included: Germany, Netherlands, USA, Turkey, and Philippines, were fortunate to experience the best Wake Park riders in the world.

Dominik Guehrs of Germany and Lior Sofer of Israel placed second and third, respectively; however, it was USA native Tom Fooshee that claimed his third consecutive WWA Wake Park World Series Title. Nick Davies of the United Kingdom, and Freddie Von Osten of Germany round out the top five.

An excited Fooshee states: “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.”

Fooshee accomplished standing on the podium at all five stops. And was able to complete the series with not one, not two, but three 1st place finishes, one second, and one third.

“Winning my third straight title has been an incredible experience. I’ve been able to travel and compete, and the WWA has been there for us (the riders) since the beginning.” says Fooshee

The question now is can Fooshee continue his dominance in 2011 and remain the only WWA Wake Park World Series Overall Champion? Only time can tell.
