15 Athletes Crowned at Day Two of

Rockstar WWA Wakeboard World Championships

Pleasant Prairie, WI. — Glassy conditions on Lake Andrea greeted a global conglomerate of some of the world’s most talented wakeboarders and wakeskaters at day two of the Rockstar WWA Wakeboard World Championships presented by Supra. The tranquil lake surface set the stage for a full day of optimal riding from athletes in all divisions culminating in 15 riders earning coveted 2013 World Titles.

World Championship honors in one of the day’s most competitive divisions, Junior Men’s, went to Aussie rider Joel Bartley. Boosting from the Supra SA550’s huge wake, Bartley linked a run that featured some of the biggest airs of the day, with perfectly executed rotations including super-stylish regular and switch 720s. The judges rewarded his near flawless run with a World Title, narrowly edging out Americans Guenther Oka and Jake Pelot, who both put in valiant efforts.

In one of the toughest World Title runs in recent memory, 11-year old U.S.A competitor Garrett Coleman, overcame a hard fall during yesterday’s Boys Beginner semifinals that required a trip to the doctor’s office to will himself to victory today. Coleman explained his approach for the winning run stating, “I knew I couldn’t fall on my backside 180, my fall yesterday couldn’t stop me today. I told the doctor I’m riding no matter what!”

A complete list of World Champions determined at day two of  competition includes: Joel Bartley (Jr. Men), Michael Vincz (Men’s II), Matt Vermillion (Veterans), Kyla Hendricks (Jr. Girls), Benjamin Brown (Jr. Boys Beginner), Jesse Deemer (Adaptive Stand), Cristobal Mendez (Amateur Wakeskate Finals), Hollie Waldrop (Girls Finals), Garrett Coleman (Boys Beginner Finals), Sofia Dinatale (Jr. Women Finals), Carolina Rodriguez (Amateur Women), Susan Sheehan (Veterans Women), Joy Manning (Masters Women), Rocker Steiner (Jr. Boys) and Sam Brown (Boys).

Saturday and Sunday’s competitions are ticketed events. Gate prices are $13 (adult); $5 (ages 6-12); free (ages 5 and under).
