Nautique’s WWA National Championships Kicks Off Largest Nationals in History at the Miami Watersport Complex

Lake Alfred, Fla. (August 12, 2015) The fourth and final stop of the Nautique Wake Series kicked off yesterday on Wednesday, August 12th at the all-new Miami Watersports Complex. This worldwide event series is the only competitive arena that includes all amateur and pro divisions behind the award winning Super Air Nautique Series boats. The next generation of riders from all around North America took to the water Wednesdaymorning as qualifying for amateur finals took place behind the industry leading Super Air Nautique G21 and G23. The cable competition began in the afternoon with amateur qualifying rounds at Aktion Parks’ newest state of the art facility. This unique event offers riders and fans both cable and boat competitions at one venue. Fynn Bullock of the Boy’s (10-13) Division had a stellar a day as he won his qualifying heats in dominating fashion with an unmatchable trick list in both disciplines.

“I’m pumped to be here at the 2015 Nautique WWA National Championships in Miami and to have started my week off with two wins in both the cable and boat divisions,” said Bullock. “The wake behind the G21 was amazing and I was really stoked to have stuck the toeside-backside 540 off the kicker in cable. I’m looking forward to riding behind the G21 in the finals.”

In the Girls (10-13) division, Mary Morgan Howell, rode to an impressive qualifying win, over the undefeated Hollie Waldrop. Waldrop has won every event she has entered into this year and will have her work cut out as both girls enter the finals of the 2015 Nautique WWA Wakeboard and Wakepark National Championship presented by Rockstar Energy. In similar fashion as Bullock, Adaptive Sitboarding Divisions, Phill Kerr swept his heats as he competed in both the cable and boat events.

“My qualifying heat went well today, as I was able to take the win,” said Howell. “MWC has done an awesome job in setting up this new park for us and I love how the Nautique Wake Series are the only events to include all pro and amateur divisions of all ages.”

“My day went well as I rode smoothly to sweep both my qualifying heats in cable and boat,” said Kerr. “Nautique events are always a pleasure to compete in as we get to ride behind the outstanding Super Air G-Series boats, as the wake is unlike anything in our industry,” said Kerr.

 

This is the first National Championships that have had a Regionals requirement for all competitors and in result has led to the largest Nationals in history. The action continues today with final and semi final rounds completing in amateur divisions for both the boat and cable competitions.
