Wakeboarding NZ has just completed the Crowe Horwath Wakeboard Nationals (the 18th Nationals for WNZ) over the 1st and 2nd April 2016.
The event was held at Piarere Waterski Club, Cambridge and once again the weather gods were particularly kind with the weather not turning out anything like it was forecast to do! There was great riding in all divisions with some really close calls on placings across most divisions.
We ran two new divisions this year, mixed womens and a celebrity division which we had a good turnout for.
