National Champions Crowned at Nautique WWA National Wakeboard Championships in Miami

Lake Alfred, Fla. (August 13, 2015) – Wakeboarders from across America started earning Wakeboard and Wake Park National Titles today at the Nautique WWA National Wakeboard Championships presented by Rockstar Energy. With 37 different championship titles up for grabs it was a great day on both the lake and at the cable park at the new Miami Watersports Complex. The final stop of the Nautique Wake Series provided some great entertainment on the world’s best wake produced by both the Super Air Nautique G23 and G21. The first day of finals was highlighted by Tyler Sommer, who put together three amazing runs behind the G21 and cable to take home three championships in the Junior Men (14-18), Amateur Wakeskate and Amateur Wakeskate Cable divisions.

“It is always special to win a National Championship, but to walk away with three is incredible,” said Sommer. “Miami Watersports Complex is a great venue for all of us, and the conditions were perfect for my runs. The Super Air Nautique G21 wake felt awesome on every trick which helped me get this great honor.”
