Presented by GM Marine, this year’s championship promises to be the most competitive yet, as 122 top riders from around the globe have been invited to compete across 22 divisions for a shot at a World title.
The three-day competition kicks off Thursday, October 2 at 8:00 AM, with preliminary rounds featuring elite riders from the United States, Japan, Canada, and South Korea. On Friday, October 3, the action heats up with semifinal rounds as these athletes battle for a place in the finals. The event culminates on Saturday, October 4, when a new class of World Champions will take the podium after the final rounds of surfing.
Making its return this year is the coveted World Series of Wake Surfing (WSWS) Champion title, awarded to the rider with the highest combined score across the full WSWS season including their WWSC performance.
Leading up to the main event, Operation Wake Surf (OWS) will host Centurion Salute to Service (S2S) events on September 30 and October 1, honoring first responders, active-duty military, and veterans. Participants will enjoy a day of well-deserved rest, relaxation, and time on the water.
