With multiple overall titles on the line, today’s competition was filled with amazing moments including Nautique athlete Cory Teunissen snagging his second World title.  In the afternoon the crowds of the Mayan Water Complex made their way back to the cable to watch the final rounds of the 2019 Nautique WWA Wake Park World Championships presented by Rockstar Energy and to properly close out the 30 Years of Wake celebration, applauding all things wake.

Best amateurs and pros

“What an incredible week in Mexico at the Nautique WWA Wakeboard and Wake Park World Championships,” said Nautique President Greg Meloon. “The best amateurs and pros battled hard behind the G23 and in the park and we’re excited to crown the new World champs! A big congrats to Nautique rider Cory Teunissen in his World title and overall World Series and Nautique Wake Series win.”

Coco Mendez (MEX) turned it up to a different level displaying his all-time skill behind the Super Air Nautique G23 landing a wake to wake hard flip, wake to wake kick flip, and a T/S wake to wake 360 shuv it to take home the Pro Wakeskate World title with a score of 91.33. Reed Hansen (USA) took second, scoring 83.33 with a nose grab H/S F/S 360. Finishing off the podium in third, Brian Grubb (USA) scored 81.00 with a stylish T/S F/S 360. Noah Wildman (USA) put down an 84.67 point score to take the Jr. Pro Men’s World title with a double back roll and a near perfect moby dick 540 in his run. Fynn Bullock-Womble placed second scoring 75.00 points, landing a super clean H/S B/S 720, followed by Tyler Worrall (USA) in third with 62.67.

Pro Women’s Final

Meagan Ethell (USA) put down an amazing performance in the Pro Women’s Final, taking the win with a nearly flawless run, scoring 92.67 and earning her fifth WWA World title. Leaving no doubt in anyone’s mind that she had just won the World title, Wakeboard World Series overall title and Nautique Wake Series overall title, Ethell threw down a moby dick and a handle pass KGB for the win. In second Nautique athlete Zahra Kell (AUS), scored 89.33 throwing down an equally impressive run complete with a technical dum dum. Rounding the podium in third, Nautique athlete Erika Lang (USA) threw a melan H/S front flip for a score of 84.33.

Cory Teunissen best performance

Nautique team athlete Cory Teunissen showed up to the Pro Men’s finals ready to throw down his best performance behind the legendary Super Air Nautique G23 in hopes of snagging a 2019 World title. Teunissen earned what he came for, putting it all together to grab himself his second WWA Pro Men’s Wakeboard World title throwing a textbook T/S F/S 1080, double half cab roll, and a melon pete rose for a finishing score of 97.33. In second, Nic Rapa (AUS) pulled out all the stops, landing a H/S indy B/S 720 and a double tantrum to score 95.67. Nautique athlete Tony Iacconi (AUS) placed third rounding out a full Aussie podium with 93.00 points throwing a huge indy moby dick into the flats in his first pass.

“I’m so stoked to take the win today at the Nautique WWA Wakeboard Worlds. Being on top of the podium after all the boys threw down some all-time performances today feels totally surreal. I just signed on as a Nautique athlete this year and to end the 2019 season with a World title and Overall Series titles feels absolutely insane!” commented Nautique rider Cory Teunissen.

Cory Teunissen (AUS) also took home the 2019 Nautique Wake Series overall title with four first place finishes this season, beating the reigning champion Harley Clifford (AUS). Grabbing the third title win, Teunissen was also crowned the 2019 Wakeboard World Series (WBWS) overall champion, his first win of the overall title race as a Pro rider. 2019 was a season to watch coming down as one of the most competitive years in the history of our sport.

The International Waterski & Wakeboard Federation’s (IWWF) Executive Board has approved the bid for the 2019 IWWF World Wakeboard Championships to be held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Abu Dhabi Marine Wakeboard Academy

The event will be organised by the Abu Dhabi International Marine Sports Club (ADIMSC) from 19th to 23rd November 2019.

Riders will compete for IWWF World titles in ten age-group categories for both men and women (14 & Under, 18 & Under, 30 & Over, 40 & Over and Open) and team overall title.  The event will offer a USD50,000.00 cash purse to riders competing in the Open Men’s & Women’s category. Salem Al Remeithi, General Manager of ADIMSC, said: “We are delighted to have been chosen to host the 2019 IWWF World Wakeboard Championship. This is perfectly timed to coincide with the opening of the Abu Dhabi Marine Wakeboard Academy at the start of the 2019 event season.

 Working closely with the IWWF, we will create a Centre of Excellence in Abu Dhabi for towed water sports – an Academy where people at all levels of ability will be able to learn new skills, improve their existing skills and further develop their knowledge and understanding of the sport. Being able to watch, and engage, with the world’s top riders will allow the Academy and our students to learn and further develop our knowledge.”

Jose Antonio Perez Priego, President of IWWF, said: “We are very excited to be running our first IWWF World titled event in Abu Dhabi and believe ADIMSC will organise one of the very best events we have experienced. We look forward to a long-term partnership with ADIMSC to develop towed water sports not only in Abu Dhabi but also in the entire UAE.”

Major place of marine sports

ADIMSC offers a superb venue for spectacular marine sport action between its base on the Breakwater and the Corniche in the UAE capital. Since 1993 the club has provided a strong organisational base for a wide range of marine sports events and activities which have added to Abu Dhabi’s status as a world-class sporting destination.

abu-dhabi-marine

The club is one of the Middle East’s leading venues for marine sports events at local, national, regional and international level, having hosted rounds of the UIM F1 H20 World Championship, the UIM Class 1 World Powerboat World Championship and the XCAT World Series.

Across its full range of marine sports activities, ADIMSC places a major emphasis on attracting and nurturing young local talent for the chance to compete on the international stage. ADIMSC, with support from the IWWF, ran its first grassroots wakeboard event in October 2017 and has not looked back since, running an average of three domestic events a year and has now made the big step up to host the 2019 IWWF World Wakeboard Championships.

Best waves, wakes and ride

It plans to launch a wakeboard academy in September this year, in addition to its powerboat, jet skiing and fly board academies.  The IWWF will be supporting ADIMSC by running coaching and technical officials’ training for its crew.

The official towboat brand of the 2019 IWWF World Wakeboard Championships is Centurion Boats. The 2020 Centurion Ri237 is the best of both worlds as the only towboat to pull both the IWWF wakeboard and wake surfing World Championships. “We are extremely honoured to be towing the 2019 IWWF World Wakeboard Championships in Abu Dhabi, UAE. We appreciate the opportunity to provide the perfect ride every time on another World stage. Centurion Boats offer the World’s best waves, wakes and ride. We’re going to prove it in November“. Amy Mauzy, VP Sales and Marketing Centurion & Supreme Boats.
