Wakesurf Nationals coming to Lake Koocanusa

Following a successful provincial wakesurf competition, the Canadian Wakesurf and Foiling Nationals will take place at Lake Koocanusa.

The two day event will run from Sept. 6-7 and feature a new foiling division.

Foiling is a watersport that uses a special board and a hydrofoil fin to lift the rider and board out of the water.

“We are excited to have foiling back this year and know these riders will add another level of excitement to the line up,” said organizing committee member Loree Duczek.

“In addition to the foiling, we will have a full roster of wakesurfing featuring skim and surf-style riding including everyone from the young up-and-coming Juniors to the Pros.”

Riders can register now until Sept. 2 using this link.

“No late entries will be accepted, so we are encouraging anyone interested in attending to make sure they get registered by the September 2nd deadline,” Duczek added.

The event is expected to bring in over 60 riders and there will be a number of activities for residents who want to come out and watch.
