Well, that's a wrap for our 23nd round of voting as we approach the end of another amazing year of wake sports. It's been awesome to have everybody back on the water and interacting with each other again and all that increased activity showed up in the voting for our annual ritual known as the WakeWorld Riders Choice Awards presented by Connelly. 

A full month of voting culminating in the compilation and broadcasting of the data input by our readers lets the world know what real wakesports enthusiasts think and only makes future products and riders that much better. Plus, there's no better way to end the summer than to give away some great free Connelly gear to our faithful readers!

We've combed through the data, run database queries, cleaned out the bots and have finally come up with the winners in each category. Those lucky winners, both riders and companies, have been awarded with some pretty cool trophies. However, let's first address the awesome stuff that our readers will get just for voting!

The WakeWorld Riders Choice Awards presented by Connelly is well known for hooking up our voters handsomely, and 2023 is no different. Our presenting sponsor, Connelly, has not only given up some goodies for our readers to enjoy, but they've made available some of their latest gear.
