Day Three of the WWA World Wakeboard Championships Filled With Top-Notch Riding
The weekend has started and a massive amount of people came out to watch the WWA World Wakeboard Championships, pulled by Malibu Boats. The riding has stepped up a bit as the Jr. Men, Pro Women, and Pro Men quarterfinals went underway. In Jr. Men, two Americans Austin Hair and Adam Errington got first in their heats, and Barrett Perlman had the best slider crash with the possibility of Dallas Friday not competing after a huge slider stack. After a Frisbee free-for-all, three heats of the Pro Men quarterfinals competed, with excellent slider passes by Josh Sanders, Shane Bonifay, and more. Tomorrow is the biggest day in the sport of wakeboarding with the world champions of Pro Men, Pro Women, and Jr. Men to be awarded.
