Le sport de haut niveau, synonyme d’excellence, d’ambition et de dépassement de soi, est une source d’inspiration pour des milliers de jeunes à travers le monde. Mais que se cache-t-il derrière cette façade ? Aurélie Godet, ancienne sportive de haut niveau en wakeboard, a récemment publié un communiqué qui remet en question la gestion des ressources et l’organisation du sport de haut niveau en France, avec un focus sur sa discipline.

À travers son témoignage, elle dresse un constat accablant sur les failles systémiques de la Fédération Française de Ski Nautique et de Wakeboard (FFSNW) et appelle à une réforme urgente. Décryptage.

Un statut de sportif de haut niveau vidé de sa substance

Dès les premières lignes de son communiqué, Aurélie Godet ne mâche pas ses mots : le statut de sportif de haut niveau, censé refléter la performance et l’élite sportive, est selon elle une illusion.

Elle souligne le manque criant de ressources pour accompagner les athlètes : peu ou pas d’entraîneurs qualifiés, absence de centres d’entraînement adaptés et recours à des infrastructures privées non certifiées. Dans ces conditions, sa pratique, pourtant en catégorie Élite, ressemblait davantage à du loisir qu’à une réelle préparation de haut niveau.

Un exemple frappant est la tenue des championnats de France de wakeboard :

Ouverts à tous, sans sélection préalable.
Un petit nombre de participants avec une chance sur trois de décrocher une médaille.
Un modèle qui pose question quant à la valeur des distinctions obtenues et à la définition même du haut niveau.

Une fédération sous le feu des critiques

La gestion fédérale est l’un des principaux points de discorde soulevés par Aurélie Godet. Elle dénonce :

Des pratiques non conformes : la reconnaissance de disciplines non homologuées comme le wakeskate.
Un manque de structures clés : l’absence d’une commission pour les athlètes de haut niveau ou de structures d’entraînement réelles.
Une éthique en question : un comité fédéral manquant d’indépendance et des fonds publics gérés sans rigueur.
Ces carences ne sont pas nouvelles et ont été signalées au ministère des Sports à plusieurs reprises, mais sans résultat concret. Une situation qui, selon elle, mine la crédibilité des institutions et laisse les athlètes livrés à eux-mêmes.

Transparence et responsabilité : des enjeux majeurs

En tant qu’organisme délégataire d’une mission de service public, la FFSNW perçoit des subventions publiques et bénéficie du soutien d’agents de l’État. Pourtant, les résultats ne sont pas à la hauteur des attentes. Cette gestion approximative envoie un signal inquiétant aux jeunes générations, leur promettant un parcours d’excellence qui, dans la réalité, n’est pas structuré pour les soutenir.

Une réforme indispensable pour sauver le haut niveau
Face à ce constat, Aurélie Godet appelle à une refonte ambitieuse :

Des contrôles indépendants : pour garantir la transparence et limiter les pratiques d’entre-soi.
Un projet de performance fédéral (PPF) réaliste : en mettant en place des structures adaptées en France pour éviter l’exil des athlètes.
Une gestion rigoureuse des fonds publics : afin de maximiser leur impact sur les résultats sportifs et le développement des talents.
Dans un contexte d’élections fédérales et d’annonces budgétaires austères pour 2025, cette réforme apparaît plus que jamais nécessaire.

Un signal d’alarme pour l’avenir

Le sport de haut niveau doit rester un vecteur d’excellence et d’inspiration. Mais, comme le rappelle Aurélie Godet, les médailles ne sont pas l’unique enjeu : c’est l’intégrité et l’avenir des athlètes qui sont en jeu.

Ce cri d’alerte résonne d’autant plus fort au lendemain des Jeux olympiques et paralympiques qui ont uni la nation autour des valeurs du sport. Il est temps de faire des choix : préserver un système défaillant ou le transformer pour répondre aux attentes de la jeunesse et des sportifs.

Si nous voulons que le sport de haut niveau continue de faire rêver, il est impératif d’agir maintenant.

Camsur Watersports Complex (CWC): A Wakeboarding Paradise in Pili, Philippines

CWC Wakepark Resurgence 2024: Nestled in the heart of the Bicol region, the Camsur Watersports Complex (CWC) in Pili, Philippines, is a premier destination for wakeboarding enthusiasts from around the globe. Since its inception, CWC has grown to become a vital hub for cable wakeboarding, attracting both professional athletes and amateurs eager to experience its world-class facilities. This article delves into the history, significance, and impact of CWC on the global wakeboarding scene, while also celebrating the individuals who have played key roles in keeping this iconic sports complex thriving.

The Birth of a Wakeboarding Mecca

CWC was established with the vision of promoting tourism in the province of Camarines Sur, with a specific focus on water sports. The brainchild of former Governor Luis Raymund “Lray” Villafuerte Jr., CWC opened its doors in 2006. The goal was to create a facility that could compete on an international level, offering top-notch amenities for both casual visitors and professional wakeboarders. What started as a bold vision quickly became a reality, transforming a once quiet town into a bustling center of activity and a beacon for sports tourism in the Philippines.

World-Class Facilities and Offerings

The Camsur Watersports Complex is renowned for its state-of-the-art cable park, which is considered one of the best in the world. The complex features a six-point cable system, which allows wakeboarders to practice and perform tricks with ease. The park is designed to cater to all skill levels, from beginners taking their first ride to seasoned professionals looking to hone their craft.

In addition to wakeboarding, CWC offers a variety of other water sports, including wakeskating, water skiing, and knee boarding. The complex also boasts a number of additional amenities, such as a pro shop, dining facilities, and accommodations ranging from budget-friendly cabins to luxury villas. The scenic backdrop of Mount Isarog and the surrounding greenery further enhances the overall experience, making CWC not just a sports complex but a complete vacation destination.

A Hub for International Competitions

CWC’s reputation as a top-tier wakeboarding venue has led to its selection as the host for numerous international competitions. The complex has hosted events such as the World Wakeboarding Championships and the International Wakeboarding and Waterski Federation (IWWF) World Cup. These events have drawn athletes from around the world, further cementing CWC’s status as a key player in the global wakeboarding community.

One of the most significant aspects of these competitions is the exposure they provide for Filipino athletes. CWC has become a training ground for local wakeboarders, giving them the opportunity to compete against some of the best in the world on home turf. This has led to a growing interest in the sport within the Philippines, with more young people taking up wakeboarding as a serious pursuit.

Celebrating the Athletes and Visionaries with this new Opus

CWC has been graced by the presence of some of the biggest names in wakeboarding. Among these are Graeme Burress, JB O’Neill, Ile Vegni, Sam Dehaan, and Konni Lehndorff. These athletes have not only showcased their incredible skills at CWC but have also helped elevate the complex’s profile through their participation in events and their promotion of the facility on social media and other platforms.

Graeme Burress, known for his daring tricks and innovative riding style, has been a frequent visitor to CWC. His performances at the complex have left lasting impressions on both spectators and fellow athletes alike. JB O’Neill, another prominent figure in the wakeboarding world, has also been instrumental in highlighting CWC’s offerings through his widely-followed online presence.

The contributions of these athletes are matched by the dedication of the individuals who have kept CWC thriving. The Villafuerte family, led by Lray Villafuerte, along with his sons Migz and Luigi, have been pivotal in maintaining and expanding the complex. Their commitment to the facility and to the promotion of wakeboarding in the Philippines has been unwavering. Through their efforts, CWC has not only survived but thrived, continuing to attract visitors and athletes from all corners of the globe.

The Future of CWC

As CWC approaches nearly two decades of operation, it shows no signs of slowing down. The complex continues to evolve, with plans for further expansion and the addition of new facilities to enhance the visitor experience. The ongoing support from the Villafuerte family ensures that CWC will remain a key player in the world of wakeboarding for years to come.

The future of CWC also lies in its ability to inspire the next generation of wakeboarders. With the increasing popularity of the sport in the Philippines, CWC is poised to become a breeding ground for new talent. The complex’s role in hosting competitions and providing top-notch training facilities will undoubtedly contribute to the development of more world-class Filipino wakeboarders.

Hello Fam!

We’re buzzing with excitement after an absolutely EPIC summer spent on the water at parks across the globe. The “Summer of Sling” tour took us to over 70 incredible stops worldwide, where we built up some serious hype, reconnected with friends, and celebrated our shared passion for wakeboarding at some of our favorite parks. Now, as summer winds down, we’re thrilled to introduce some of the most stunning wakeboards and boots we’ve ever crafted. It’s been a season to remember, and we can’t wait to show you what’s in store.

So, what’s new for SLINGSHOT 2025? You’re in for a treat. Our RAD and JEWEL boots are leading the charge this year with a game-changing feature: brand-new removable liners. These liners are designed for those moments when you want to take a stroll along the park shores without sacrificing the comfort and support you’ve come to expect from your favorite wake boots. Whether you’re taking a break between sets or just enjoying the scenery, these liners make it easier than ever to transition from the water to the shore and back again.

And that’s not all—2025 is also seeing the return of a fan favorite: the Johnny Rocket. This time, it’s back in black and available in a full range of sizes to suit every rider. The Johnny Rocket has always been a crowd-pleaser, and we’re pumped to offer it again with some fresh new updates that are sure to get you stoked for your next ride.

Another exciting addition this year is the introduction of the PRO Gummies straps.

And, of course, we couldn’t do it without YOU. Whether you’ve been with us from the start or are just joining the Slingshot community, you are the heart and soul of everything we do. Your support, feedback, and enthusiasm drive us to keep innovating and pushing the limits. We’re so grateful for the connections we’ve made along the way and the incredible moments we’ve shared on the water.

As we look ahead to the rest of the year and beyond, we’re more committed than ever to delivering the best in wakeboarding gear and experiences. From the latest innovations in our products to the amazing talent joining our ranks, 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting years yet. We’re ready to ride the wave of success that this summer has set in motion, and we can’t wait to see where it takes us.

So here’s to the future—to more epic sessions, more unforgettable memories, and more of the stoke that brings us all together.

UN ÉTÉ DÉCALÉ

Même si la météo ne le laisse pas transparaître, le wakeboarder Jules Charraud sonne l’arrivée de l’été en Bretagne ! Vêtu de son ciré jaune, le prodige toulousain de 24 ans sillonne les côtes bretonnes avec sa planche, en reprenant toutes les activités estivales que l’on peut faire en vacances (snorkling, chateaux de sable, char à voile, visite des parcs à huîtres…). Sur la mer, sous l’eau, sur la plage, sur un chalutier… rien n’arrête Jules et son wake dans leur exploration décalée du littoral armoricain. Grâce à son treuil portable, il transforme chaque étendue en un espace de performance incroyable, avec comme maîtres mots : technique et créativité.TOUR D’HORIZON BRETOND’un chalutier à Plougrescant aux rochers de Porz Hir Plage, en passant par la piscine emblématique de Saint-Malo, Jules explore une large partie des côtes bretonnes. Le Toulousain termine son escapade sur la plage de Plestin-les-Grèves, survolant un immense château de sable, façonné pour l’occasion par l’artiste Stephen Lozza, champion de France de sculpture sur sable. 40 tonnes de sable auront été nécessaires pour la réalisation de cette œuvre d’art éphémère.

TOUR D’HORIZON BRETON

D’un chalutier à Plougrescant aux rochers de Porz Hir Plage, en passant par la piscine emblématique de Saint-Malo, Jules explore une large partie des côtes bretonnes. Le Toulousain termine son escapade sur la plage de Plestin-les-Grèves, survolant un immense château de sable, façonné pour l’occasion par l’artiste Stephen Lozza, champion de France de sculpture sur sable. 40 tonnes de sable auront été nécessaires pour la réalisation de cette œuvre d’art éphémère. Un tour d’horizon des côtes bretonnes invitant à l’aventure et à la créativité pour commencer l’été de la meilleure manière qui soit.

A PROPOS DE JULES CHARAUD

Jules Charraud a commencé le wakeboard à 10 ans, dans le Val-d’Oise, à Cergy. Quatorze ans plus tard, il est adoubé par James Windsor, triple Champion du Monde et légende de la discipline : « Jules fait partie des riders qui ont le plus de potentiel sur cette planète. Il a une technique de ride super complète. ». Plus qu’une discipline, un mode de vie, que le désormais toulousain n’incarne pas que sur sa planche. Passionné de design et de tatouage, ce guitariste amateur qui vit dans son camion aménagé au TNG wakepark de l’isle Jourdain, près de Toulouse, incarne parfaitement l’esprit wakeboard. Côté carrière, Jules Charraud veut prendre son temps, mais avec un objectif clair en tête : « Je souhaite continuer de développer mon approche du wakeboard et continuer de jouer sur l’aspect créatif de cette pratique ».

2023 Pro Wakeboard Tour  stop 3 :

For the 3rd leg of the 2023 PWT, the organizers provided the athletes with a chance to adapt the format and explore something fresh. The PWT was gratified as the athletes embraced the opportunity and pushed their limits, displaying remarkable skills and unwavering enthusiasm for the event. The outcome was the finest riding performances of the season, with several new names triumphantly standing on the podium.

2023 Pro wakeboard tour details :

Progression takes center stage in every action sport, and once in a while, there comes a singular event that illuminates that very progress. The Supra Boats Pro Wakeboard Tour Stop #3 served as the perfect platform for this showcase. On the picturesque Lake David in Groveland, Florida, amidst classic Central Florida weather delays and pristine glassy conditions, we witnessed never-been-done tricks, rarely seen contest stunts, and an overall boost in competitiveness.

The riders heavily influenced the new format, leading to a head-to-head, bracket-style, single-elimination tournament with scores based on three passes, creating a distinctive and exciting atmosphere. The first pass was judged on the best 4-trick line, showcasing the riders’ versatility. The next pass allowed them to land a single best trick off the wake, pushing their limits even further. Finally, they concluded their run with a thrilling double-up.

Throughout the day, an array of mind-blowing tricks were on full display. Several different riders pulled off clean Crow 7s, while Tyler Higham astonished the crowd with his wake-to-wake TS BS 900 and Mute HS 10. Luca Kidd delivered perfection with a double grabbed HS BS 900, leaving everyone in awe. And to add to the excitement, Kai Ditsch made history by landing a switch heelside 10 off the wake, becoming the first-ever to accomplish it in a contest.

It was a day of incredible feats, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in wakeboarding and showcasing the immense talent and dedication of these athletes. The Supra Boats Pro Wakeboard Tour Stop #3 undoubtedly left a lasting impression on the world of wakeboarding and set the bar even higher for the future.

2023 PWT stop 3 the recap ! 

<

Tyler Higham, a native of the West Coast, proved to be the ideal contender to secure victory in an event brimming with stylish and technical riding. Holding a high seed and being tied for 1st in the overall standings as the day began, Higham capitalized on the advantages presented by the new format.

“I’ve always felt like I had the tricks to win an event for the last few years, but my consistency has improved significantly,” Higham shared.

This newfound consistency must have sent ripples of apprehension through the rest of the field. A confident rider equipped with a deep bag of tricks, executed flawlessly, is undoubtedly a sight that no competitor wants to face in their heat. Higham’s skillful and polished performance made him a formidable force, setting the bar high for his fellow contenders in the competition.

In a twist of fate, Tyler Higham drew his brother’s name out of a hat for the first round of the competition. “I told everyone that I knew I was going to pick his name. It was cool to ride against him, but it was a bummer that one of us would be knocked out in the first round,” Tyler shared.

As the day progressed, this theme continued, with Tyler finding himself going up against his best friends and riding crew. Aptly named “La Familia,” this tight-knit group of riders holds a monopoly on the freshest video content, newest tricks, and overall good vibes in the wakeboarding community. Tyler spoke fondly of their camaraderie, saying, “We decided the night before to bring out our tent, grill, and music. It felt like we were just riding at home because that is what we do every day. Grill out food, take a few sets, and root each other on. We all just love the sport of wakeboarding so much. It was a bummer that we were all on the same side of the bracket besides Kai.”

Despite the friendly rivalry and a touch of disappointment about facing off against close friends, the day remained filled with excitement, sportsmanship, and the shared passion for wakeboarding that bonds “La Familia” together. Their dedication to the sport and each other created an atmosphere of positivity and support, making the event truly memorable for all involved.

The relaxed vibe surrounding Tyler Higham during the competition fueled his drive to continually push the boundaries of his riding, even when it wasn’t necessary. In the Quarter finals, he found himself facing his crew-mate Sam Brown, knowing that all he needed was to land a solid trick off the double up. However, Higham’s camaraderie and respect for his friend led him to aim higher.

“Since he went first and fell, and he is one of my boys, it didn’t feel right to just do something easy,” Higham explained as he looked back on the moment. Despite having a simpler path to secure the win, Tyler’s dedication to both the sport and his friendship with Sam compelled him to go for something extraordinary. And so, with precision and skill, he executed a perfect switch mute heelside frontside 1080, showcasing the kind of sportsmanship and character that defines true champions.

Higham’s commitment to excellence, even in a relaxed setting, demonstrated not only his exceptional riding abilities but also his integrity as an athlete and friend. This memorable moment highlighted the essence of sportsmanship and the spirit of pushing oneself to new heights, all while fostering an atmosphere of camaraderie and mutual respect among riders.

In the wakesurf category, a seasoned surf tour veteran, Sean Silvera, made a remarkable comeback from competitive retirement to prove to the young guns that he still possesses the skills to secure victory. It was no simple task to edge out the talented 13-year-old Jett Lambert, but Sean managed to do so, earning some well-deserved bragging rights. Lambert’s impressive performance landed him in the 2nd position, and he also clinched his first-ever overall PWT Surf title.

In the Jr. Pro division, Beaux Wildman took the top spot, further solidifying his lead in the overall standings. His exceptional performance showcased his potential and talent, making him a formidable force to reckon with in the wakesurfing world.

The event was undoubtedly filled with fierce competition, inspiring comebacks, and the emergence of new talents, making it a thrilling spectacle for all wake enthusiasts. These athletes’ dedication and passion for the sport continue to elevate wakesurfing and push the boundaries of what is possible on the water.
