(March 10, 2026) Peoria, AZ—The 2026 World Series of Wake Surfing season is here and will kick off April 10-11, 2026 at Pleasant Harbor Marina in Peoria, AZ with the Wild West Wake Surf Shootout hosted by Century Marine.
This annual event hosted in the desert of sunny Arizona is a Gold Level event with a $11,000 cash pro prize! Riders across all 30 divisions will be riding the wave of a 2026 Centurion Ri245. The Ri245 is the industry standard for a luxury performance boat delivering 50% better fuel efficiency thanks to the Opti-V hull. Its expansive interior holds 16 people and up to 5650 pounds of displacement distributed across seven precisely placed ballast locations, this boat compromises neither performance nor comfort.
Directly adjacent to Pleasant Harbor Marina is Dillon’s Bayou BBQ where riders and spectators can enjoy food and live music during the event. Kayaks, boards, and boat slip rentals are available. The host hotel for the Wild West Wake Surf Shootout is the Holiday Inn Express in Surprise, AZ. Book by Wednesday, March 18, 2026 to get the room block rate. Campsites are available for rent by contacting www.pleasantharbor.com or (623)235-6140.

Those who participate will get to experience riding waves on the back of a Centurion with Team Centurion athletes, Ava and Tyler Stewart on Wednesday, April 8th.
