Nautique WWA Wake Park National Championships

Wake Park Nationals - Day 1 | Wake Park Nationals - Day 3

 
Waco, TX. – In a battle royale of the world’s best wake athletes, cross-discipline riders went head-to-head at day two of the Nautique WWA Wake Park National Championships presented by Rockstar. In the event’s premiere division, Pro Men, Tom Fooshee’s next level riding at the BSR Cable Park catapulted him to victory and earned him a coveted national Wake Park title.
 
With a stacked finals field, that included the sport’s most talented wake park and boat specialists, Fooshee overcame valiant efforts from Chandler Powell, Aaron Gunn, James Windsor, Daniel Grant and Hunter Hanson to earn his spot atop the podium. His championship winning run hit on all cylinders and featured huge rotations off the park’s ramps and near flawless riding on its rail sections.
 
“Having a mix of park and boat riders at Nationals really made everyone step up their game,” said Fooshee. “Everyone was riding great today and it’s incredible to win Nationals against such a talented group of riders.”
 
A dramatic finals heat also went down in the Women’s Pro division at Wake Park Nationals today. Nautique Team athlete Meagan Ethell was spectacular in victory. She now looks to cross disciplines and repeat her performance for a win at Wakeboard Nationals this weekend.
 
Wake Park Nationals features both amateur and professional divisions, and was desgined to allow all participants to also compete in the Nautiqe WWA Wakeboard National Championships also being held thru the weekend at BSR in Waco.
 
With more than 170 riders expected to participate in Wake Park Nationals and more than 200 in Wakeboard Nationals, the two events will combine to create one of the largest national championship competitions in the sport’s history.
