TOP WAKEBOARDERS ‘PRE-QUALIFIED’ AT WWA CANCUN PRO PRESENTED BY MALIBU BOATS

_249 WWACancunPro_logo_HORIZ_RGB copyFrom Cancun, Mexico (September 17, 2014) – The World Wakeboard Association (WWA) has now confirmed the top wakeboarders in the world for the WWA Cancun Pro presented by Malibu Boats at Puerto Cancun, October 3-5, 2014. This elite, season-ending event will bring both men’s and women’s wake riding to the next level, while celebrating the WWA’s 25th anniversary.

Puerto Cancun is an ideal venue, offering smooth conditions with wave-breaking shorelines and deep waterways to allow the Malibu Wakesetter 23 LSV to deliver a savory wake. Off the water, participants will enjoy luxury accommodations with a prestigious golf course and private club.

This will be the first pro event featuring Malibu’s new Power Wedge II. This 2015 transom innovation is over 20 percent larger than its previous version, kicking up a larger wake, while its “lift” feature gets the boat on plane faster and easier than before.

Malibu Pro Team rider and event judge, Chad Sharpe is excited for this first-ever event to kickoff. “Each athlete’s riding is going to be showcased to the fullest at the Cancun Pro,” Chad said. “With a two-run format and a double-up in the finals, we are going to see the best riding in the world today. As a judge, I’ll be looking for riders to mix it up and step out of their normal runs, hopefully stomping some of the new tricks they have been working on.”
