With another summer of world-class wakesurfing in full swing, the Centurion Boats World Series of Wake is entering the stretch run. The 2026 season has once again showcased the sport’s remarkable growth, drawing elite professional athletes alongside hundreds of amateur competitors to events across North America, Japan, and beyond. From first-time competitors to reigning world champions, the series continues to reinforce Centurion’s commitment to advancing wakesurfing on a global stage.
The season has already featured memorable stops, including the Wild West Shootout in Arizona, the Come and Take It Conroe Classic in Texas, Volunteer Wake Surf Classic in Tennessee, Cowtown Wake Fest in Fort Worth, and multiple Japanese events that underscore the sport’s rapidly expanding international appeal. Each stop has offered valuable points toward the season standings while giving riders the opportunity to compete behind Centurion’s latest surf boats, whose waves have become the benchmark for professional competition.

As the calendar moves toward fall, several important events remain on the schedule.
Cali Comp 2026 takes place August 7 and 8 in the heart of the California Delta. Registration and more info is here: thewwa.com/event/cali-comp-2026/.
The next stop is the I ❤️ Surf Classic in New York’s Finger Lakes on August 23. Although a single-day event, it promises to attract a deep field of competitors eager to secure late-season points. With championship aspirations on the line, every run becomes increasingly significant as the margin for error shrinks.
International competition returns in early October with the Centurion Wake Surf Chubu Open in Tokoname, Japan. Scheduled for October 1-3, the event highlights the explosive growth of wakesurfing throughout Asia. Japan has become one of the sport’s strongest international markets, producing talented athletes while embracing the competitive atmosphere that has made the World Series of Wake a premier global tour.
One notable change to this year’s calendar is the postponement of the 2026 World Wake Surfing Championship, originally planned for Winter Haven, Florida. Organizers have announced that the championship has been pushed to 2027, extending anticipation for what is traditionally the season’s marquee event. Even without a world championship this fall, the remaining competitions carry tremendous importance as athletes continue building momentum and establishing themselves among the sport’s elite.
Beyond the competition itself, the World Series of Wake has become an important showcase for innovation. Centurion regularly uses the tour to demonstrate its latest performance boats and surf technologies, allowing competitors to push the limits while giving spectators a firsthand look at the equipment driving the evolution of wakesurfing. The partnership between Centurion Boats and the World Wake Association has further elevated event production, judging consistency, and athlete experience across the series.
As 2026 enters its final chapters, the Centurion Boats World Series of Wake remains the sport’s premier proving ground. Whether it’s a rising amateur chasing a personal best or a seasoned professional battling for another podium finish, every remaining stop promises championship-caliber riding—and another demonstration of just how far competitive wakesurfing has come.
