The 2022 SINGHA IWWF World Cable Wakeboard & Wakeskate Championships is being organised by the Thailand Extreme Sports Association (TESA) and was originally scheduled to be held in 2020 but has been postponed to 2022 due to the global pandemic.

Maxim Giry from France, current IWWF European Open Men’s Champion, Mauri Marassi from Italy and Dan Milstein from Israel are considered contenders to stand on the podium.

Qualification and LCQ sessions selected the 6 best riders for this Sunday’s grand final. Warmed by Death Dive contests right before the launch of the competition, spectators were on fire when the first Women dropped in. It seems that nothing can take of the Italian Queen out of the top spot this season. Once again, Claudia Pagnini combined huge control and cleanliness to grab the Gold medal. After she mastered insane rail to rail, she wrapped her run with a KGB which secured her the highest step. She has been challenged by the young Spanish rider Elena Bodi Lopez, who is improving each contest and was getting near to win thanks to a particularly high and clean performance. The podium was full filled by the French Marie Rougier, who managed to keep her status with a very clean style on the rails.

Straight after the Women’s final, it was time for the Pro Men category to enjoy the support of the crowd which was circling the Wakepark. Great Britain went big to make the show, with Joey Battleday and Kieran Owens scoring respectively 1st and 3rd. The best one today succeed in a good first run, that he cleaned up on the second to grab the Gold medal. In between both we find the French Rookie Alex Paget, only 16 years old, who impressed the public with a high and intense run. He added to his line a Moby Dick 5 as he did during the semi-final, in addition to good execution of the other tricks. Kieran Owens, right after him on the ranking, went good on strategy by being high and clean.

HURRICANE GROUP AND INTERNATIONAL WATERSKI & WAKEBOARD FEDERATION COLLABORATE TO LAUNCH THE IWWF 2.0 WORLD CUP SERIES FROM 2022 TO 2025

The Hurricane Group and the International Waterski & Wakeboard Federation (IWWF) are pleased to announce their collaboration in developing a cable wakeboard two-tower world cup series.

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.”
