Merced, CA September 21, 2012; For the first time, the most prestigious wake surfing contest in the World, the World Wake Surfing Championship (WWSC) will broadcast via a live webcast.  On September 27-29, the World Wake Surfing Championship will be held in Parker, AZ at the BlueWater Resort and Casino. Centurion has partnered up with The Competitive Wake Surf Association (CWSA) to provide a full high-definition broadcast of the event. The LIVE broadcast, which can be found on the association’s website www.theCWSA.org, will run for the event’s duration including the award ceremony which boasts the largest cash purse in the history of wake surfing – $40,000 cash and over $15,000 in prizes.

The webcast will be a top-shelf, quality production with five cameras, two fixed on the towboats, one roaming for athlete interviews, one with a long lens shore mounted, and the last capturing the essence of the event from the announcer’s tower. Closed circuit TV will be provided to the open air, waterfront Cantina bringing the action up close for all. Todd Gaughan, Tournament Director said, “We really went all-out with this production to make this best televised wake surfing event it could be. It was all made possible because of the great relationship between Centurion Boats and the CWSA. We’re expecting an awesome show for all, whether they are at the event live or watching from home!”
