No Fear to Sponsor New Wake 2 Wake
Tour Series to Promote Amateur Wakeboarding

CARLSBAD, CA—According to No Fear’s VP of Marketing, Britt Galland, amateur wakeboarders need more venues and opportunities to compete, hone their skills and transition into the professional level. “To help grow the sport of wakeboarding and support the next generation of athletes, No Fear has signed on to sponsor a new grassroots, coast-to-coast wakeboarding competition series,” Galland said.

Called the “Wake 2 Wake Tour,” the inaugural competition series will consist of four World Wakeboard Association (WWA) sanctioned events, including stops in Southern California, Texas, Kansas and Florida.

“We’re putting together what we believe will be the most exciting, and fun-filled amateur wake series ever to hit the water,” said Mark Pulver, the Tour’s Onsite Director. “Thanks to support from a slew of corporate sponsors, including No Fear, MasterCraft, Hyperlite, Spy, Sambazon, Proline, CWB, Ogio, Protec and Alliance Wake Magazine. Competitors can count on professionally run events with plenty of cash and prizes up for grabs.”

Each Wake 2 Wake (W2W) Tour event will comply with WWA rules and standards. To accommodate boarders of all ages, the series will have four age divisions for boys and girls ages five and up, including Open Men’s and Open Women’s divisions with $500 cash purses. In addition to cash and prizes for the finalists, W2W will dole out instant $ 20 cash awards to every heat winner. At the end of the series, the top three finishers in each division will gain WWA points that could help them qualify for WWA National and WWA World championship series. Another added plus is the W2W Tour event dates will not conflict with WWA sanctioned pro events.
