1 World s Best Cable Riders Debut Nautique & Rockstar WWA Wake Park National Championships West Chester, OH. For the first time in the storied history of Wakeboarding s annual national championships, the world s best cable riders have joined their boat-riding counterparts with today s debut of the Nautique & Rockstar WWA Wake Park National Championships, presented by Polaroid Action. The unique cross-over format allows park riders and boat riders to compete in both styles of wakeboarding with highly-coveted National Titles at stake. The opening day of the history-making contest took place at Wake Nation Cincinnati, just a short drive from Voice of America Park in West Chester, which is playing host to the boat riding portion of Nationals. Highlighting the first day of park action was the Junior Pro Men s division. Proving to be as big a threat in the park as he is behind a boat, Noah Flegel put his freakish talent on full display dismantling the course en route to a National Title in the division. Everyone at Nationals is so happy Nautique, Rockstar, WWA and Polaroid Action stepped up to the plate and made Wake Park a reality this year, said Chris Bischoff, competition director. The riding today was mental and it s a solid testament to the progression of the sport to see so many cross-over athletes killing it in the park and behind the boat. Wake Park Nationals will continue tomorrow with a full day of competition including opening round heats from the Pro Men, Pro Women, Pro Wakeskate and Pro Features divisions. The Nautique & Rockstar WWA Wake Park National Championships, presented by Polaroid Action is organized by World Sports & Marketing of Orlando, Fla., and has the support of the following sponsors: Nautique Boats, Rockstar Energy Drink, Overton s, Indmar, Polaroid Action, Ronix, Billabong, Zeal Optics, CWB, Hyperlite, Liquid Force, Byerly, Peavey, Sayiwon t, Epiphone and TransWorld WAKEBOARDING magazine.
