(March 6, 2025) Merced, CA-Centurion Boats is excited to announce an expanded partnership with The World Wake Association (WWA) to administer the World Series of Wake Surfing.
Centurion’s WSWS wake surf competitions have created the wake surfing community that is the driving force behind our brands’ momentum. We have expanded our partnership with the WWA from sanctioning WSWS events to helping us professionalize, promote and grow the series. This investment will benefit our existing wake surf community with a consistently better experience. We hope this elevated experience will also draw new competitors to this wake surfing series and expand the sport. We also believe this collaboration with the WWA will benefit our event organizers, especially Centurion & Supreme Boats dealers, with more supported event execution and the opportunity for more boat sales. The WWA, an organization for riders by riders, will continue to improve the WSWS experience with their 30 years of experience in wake sports competitions.
“I can’t express how excited I am that we are partnering with the WWA to professionalize, promote and grow the World Series of Wake Surfing as well as the World Wake Surfing Championship. We have a great opportunity for continuous improvement with this collaboration.” Amy Mauzy, Centurion & Supreme Boats Vice President of Marketing and Brand Direction states.
The season kicks off with our Gold Level events, April 4th and 5th, 2025, with the Wild West Shootout hosted by Century Marine at Pleasant Harbor Marina in Peoria, Arizona. One month later, on May 9th and 10th, is The Come and Take It Conroe Classic in Lake Conroe, Texas hosted by Ski Dock. Following those two events on June 20th and 21st, is the Surf MN King of the Lakes Classic hosted by Faction Marine on Lake Le Homme Dieu in Minnesota. On July 11th and 12th, 2025 The World Series of Wake Surfing makes its way to Johnson City, Tennessee, hosted by Centurion & Supreme Boats dealer CBK. LIB, the surf boat market share leader in Japan who sells Centurion and Supreme boats, will host three Worlds Series of Wake Surfing events this year as well. The World Wake Surf Championship will cap off the season, date and location to be announced.
When asked about this expanded partnership, Shannon Starling, WWA President, had this to say. “It’s great to see these two leaders in wake surf come together in an effort to expand fair and family fun events for all athletes. The WWA and Centurion strive to build a more expansive series in wake surfing where athletes know they are getting the very best our sports have to offer.”
Requests to host events have been rolling in. We will be evaluating these requests and responding to the submissions soon. Once approved, these additional events will be published on the WWA website as well as wakesurfchampionships.com. In addition, WSWS competitors will now have access to the Rideline app. We are in the process of developing a checklist for hosting a WSWS event to aid organizers in this process.
“Rideline is where all it all happens. Schedules, running orders, scoring, rankings, and event details are all integrated. This should provide a seamless experience for athletes and event organizers while maintaining the identity and format that WSWS competitors are accustomed to.” Ben Greenwood, WWA Director of Strategic Partnerships.
This expanded partnership will provide consistency, growth and enhance rider experience before, during and after events with the use of the Rideline app and their team of experienced wake sports event professionals.
At Centurion Boats we strive to make life better and this new partnership with The WWA will allow us to continue this charge for our community of wake surfers. Centurion Boats and The WWA are proud to be working together to bring the best possible experience to every rider who participates in a WSWS event.
