Acworth Kicks Off Opening Day of the 2016 Nautique WWA U.S.
Wakeboard National Championships Presented by Rockstar


WWA NationalsACWORTH, Ga. – The opening day of the Nautique WWA U.S. Wakeboard National Championships kicked off with amateur qualifying at the Dallas Landing Park, which is located on the beautiful water of Lake Allatoona. Riders anxiously awaited their opportunity to get in the water and ride behind 3X Wakeboard Boat of the Year, the Super Air Nautique G23. There was no shortage of action on the water as both, boys and girls of all ages and skill levels showcased top-notch talent here at the fourth stop of the Nautique Wake Series.
 
WWA NationalsA talented lineup was on hand as the Jr. Men (14-18) division began their initial qualifying runs with the semifinals. Darin Delgado (CA) started out the week with an impressive run by pulling huge tricks and setting the tempo early to capture the highest score in Heat 1. The second heat went to Noah Wildman (IN) with an 86.67, while consistency helped Mitch Kappler (NC) secure the win in Heat 3. The trio will certainly bring it up another gear for tomorrows finals.
 
In the highly anticipated Jr. Women (14-18) division, multiple heavy hitters made the trek to the Peach State for a chance to become U.S. Wakeboard National Champion against the best riders in the nation. A high-flying run by Shannon Sahinbas (FL) allowed her to take control with a score of 83.33 to win the semifinals, just ahead of Ellery Hunt (SC) with a solid run in second. Alyssa Williams (NV) rounded out the top three.
 
The Boys (10-13) division is always one of the most exciting at any wakeboarding event across the globe. Some of the youngest riders competing throughout the weekend performed at an insane level behind Nautique’s incredible G23 wake perfectly tuned for each division. Rocker Steiner (TX) carried the momentum from his successful season to take the semifinals win in Heat 1. Tyler Worrall (FL) and Fynn Bullock-Womble (NC) led the way in the second and third heats, respectively.
 
WWA NationalsKira Lewis (NJ) nailed a combination of technical trick variations to grab the judge’s attention and cruise to victory in the Jr. Girls (9 & Under) Heat 1. An intense battle during Heat 2 ensued between Palmer Howell (AL) and Allison Lavrack (NC). However, Howell capped off her run with the upper hand behind the Super Air Nautique G23.
 
The Amateur Wakeskate Semifinal had the crowd on the edge of their seats as they battled head-to-head for the bragging rights before heading into Thursday’s final. In the end, Brandon Wolcott (FL) outperformed the competition to grab the top spot, followed closely by Francisco Cabezas (FL).
 
In the Women Wakeskate semifinals, Kyla Hendricks (WI) led the way en route to an impressive run during the events opening day of competition. Despite using the G23’s massive wake to land huge tricks, Piper Harris (FL) was forced to settle for second, while Kira Lewis (NJ) was credited with third.
