(October 9, 2024) Fort Worth, Texas – Day one of the Centurion World Wake Surfing Championship presented by GM Marine is in the books! The kickoff of the 2024 WWSC made some gnarly waves on Marine Creek Lake in Fort Worth, Texas. Hosting Centurion Dealer, Action Water Sports, has the shores lined with 19 Centurion and Supreme boats ready for on-water demos starting October 10th. The WWSC site looks amazing! Day one WWSC competitors from 5 countries posted impressive scores after an incredible first day of riding behind the newly released 2025 Centurion Ri230, specially designed to honor and recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
At 8am CST, riders in the Masters Male Surf Division were on the water surfing into Day 1 of competition. This division brought heavy competition with Keith Pohl, Evan Feierabend and Centurion Water Sports Warrior Trevor Miller absolutely shredding and all earning the well-deserved top spots in their heats.
The Professional Male Surf Division brought the heat yesterday in what seemed to be the most competitive and thrilling division of the day on Marine Creek Lake. Centurion Athletes Tyler Stewart and Keenan Flegel dominated their heats placing first and advancing to the Semi Final round. Another leader of their Pro Male Surf Division heat, Samuel Goncalves, clinched his spot in the semi-final round with a score of 116.5. Also advancing to the semi-final round from this division is Centurion Athlete Turner Gebers, Centurion Ambassador Tommy Darnell, and Tripp Allen. It’s clear that Darnell and Allen, both Centurion owners, are crowd favorites after day 1.
The Pro Female Skim division was electric as Centurion Athletes Whitley Stewart, Ava Stewart, Caitlin Wheeler and Nicole Hudson threw impressive tricks keeping the crowd on the edge of their seats. These four ladies, joined by riders Ashley Inloe and Evie Shropshire, will move forward on Day 2 of the WWSC hoping to clinch a semi-final spot.
A fan favorite division, Amateur Female Surf, had a competitive afternoon of riding. New Centurion Athlete, Bostyn Hall punched her ticket to the semi-final round placing second in her heat.
