(March 17, 2025) Peoria, AZ—The 2025 World Series of Wake Surfing season kicks off April 4-5, 2025 at Pleasant Harbor Marina on Lake Pleasant in Peoria, AZ with the Wild West Wake Surf Shootout hosted by Century Marine. This event is the first event of the WSWS with new Centurion partner, The World Wake Association (WWA).
The annual event hosted in the desert of sunny Arizona is a Gold Level event with a $10,000 cash pro prize! Riders across all divisions will be riding the wave of a 2025 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 up to 16 people and up to 5650 pounds of displacement in up to 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. Kayaks, SUP boards, and boat slip rentals are available. The host hotel for the Wild West Wake Surf Shootout is the Hampton Inn & Suites Phoenix-Surprise. Campsites are available for rent by contacting www.pleasantharbor.com or (623)235-6140.
The WWA, an organization for riders by riders, will continue to improve the WSWS experience with their 30 years of experience in wake sports competitions. Throughout the Wild West Wake Surf Shootout riders can check their scores, rankings and overall running order by logging into the Rideline App.
