Sometimes a simple “thanks” doesn’t cut it so we want to say thanks in a BIG way to the #AotearoaGamingTrust who so generously funded professional coaching for our WWA riders. Without sounding corny, your support of our Worlds squad means the absolute world to us. Thank you #AotearoaGamingTrust.

One thanks? We don’t think so. Our gratitude needs to be expressed many times over to the generous volunteers, supporters and sponsors of the WWA World Champs. Let’s start with one heck of a massive thank you to #PubCharity who generously funded the New Zealand livery. Never has New Zealand wakeboarding had such an incredibly visual presence at a Worlds event, all thanks to #PubCharity. Even our scruffiest of wake enthusiasts looked sharp in that fresh new gear (and it was a hit with the commentators too).

PS. Carla, Kate & Renee worked tirelessly to make this happen so be sure to give them some love too.
