One of Canada's biggest annual Amateur events, the WAKESTOCK NAUTIQUE AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP presented by Pride Marine Group, Monster Energy, GoPro, Rip Curl and SBC Wakeboard Magazine, showcased the next generation of riding talent from Novice thru to Advanced.
With 115 riders vying for over $10,000 in prizes it was equally exciting to see the high level of riding from the top Ams battling for qualification into the Monster Energy Wakestock WWA World Series, as well as the amazing talent of so many young novice riders. In fact, the Novice Division was the largest group, boasting over 50 riders, 20 of whom were under the age of 12.
Qualifying for the Monster Energy Wakestock WWA World Series were Andy Milovanvic - 1st, Robbie Culp - 2nd, and Harrson Carter - 3rd.
An exciting new feature of the Am Championships was the RIP CURL GROM SEARCH for all riders age 16 & Under. That put over 50 riders in contention for the coveted prize of a one year Rip Curl sponsorship and qualification into the Wakestock World Series. The top four Rip Curl Grom Search Finalists faced off in a Showcase Final Saturday at noon in front of the big waterfront crowd with 16 year old Mitch Lowry stomping his run to take the title!
In addition to amazing prizes from Go Pro, Rip Curl, Ronix, O'Brien, CWB, Hyperlite, Slingshot, Zeal, and Spy, a highlight for the amateurs was the chance to ride behind the new SUPER AIR NAUTIQUE G23 and it's game changing wake. While boosting the top riders to all new trick heights, the wake also offered a smooth, easy ramp for the youngest riders. The G23 wake generated plenty of best ever trick runs, big smiles and excited comments from all the riders young and old!
