WWA Wake Park World Championships Hosted by Al Forsan International Sports Resort
December 7-10
Abu Dhabi, UAE

Each wake park is gearing up for a series that will not be forgotten. The toughest competition from six continents will travel across the globe to prove they are the best wake park riders.

“Since the WWA became heavily involved in the promotion of wake park contests, we, as riders, have seen our sport, events, prize money, and media grow more than we ever thought was possible.  This is what cable has been working on for years and now it’s a reality.  It’s awesome!” says wake park legend, Donald Shelbrick.

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 WWA embraces the new development of wake parks around the world.” WWA President Shannon Starling says, “It shows the progression and evolution of wake park riding, and puts more people on the water that may have never had the chance to wakeboard.”

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.
