The first edition of the IWWF 2.0 World Cup Series will be held in 2022. This competition will be an integral part of the FISE World Series.
Why Cable Wakeboard?
Cable Wakeboarding is one of the growing Action Sports, popular amongst youngsters and attractive to audiences for its non-stop action. With an overhead cable replacing a boat the sport is environmentally friendly, all important aspects of the Olympic Movement.
The competitors are judged on figures (tricks) performed through the course within a time limit, and appraised on difficulty, originality and style.
The construction of the cable infrastructure is low cost as it is delivered ready for use, is temporary and does not require a large surface area. The events can take place in natural lakes or artificial water areas in urban areas or alternatively in established cable parks.
Commenting on this announcement, the IWWF President, Jose Antonio Perez Priego (MEX), declared: “We look forward to working with Hurricane with this new initiative in expanding our popular World Cup events. High level competitions not only support our existing athletes but encourage and inspire greater participation down to grass root levels.”
Hervé André Benoit, Hurricane Group CEO, declared: “By integrating Wakeboard contests to its most awaited events each season, Hurricane Group and it’s FISE events are pushing forward the Wakeboard development. By this collaboration with IWWF, we are going to go to the next level of its rise.”
