ORLANDO, FL, UNITED STATES, March 11, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The premier wake series for amateur, semi-pro, and rising pro wakeboarders and wakesurfers is making waves once again in the Southeastern U.S. with the official announcement of its 2025 dates. The Wake United Surf + Wake Series unites some of the region’s most celebrated grassroots competitions, offering riders of all levels a platform to progress, compete, and connect with the wake community.

Blending multiple popular wakesurf and wakeboard events, the 2025 series will feature four marquee stops: the Nautique WWA Florida State Championships, Thigh High Surf + Wake, Spivey Shootout, and Battle by the Beach. With a focus on growing the sport at every level, Wake United continues to provide a launchpad for athletes looking to take the next step in their wakeboarding and wakesurfing journey.

“At Wake United, we’re committed to shaping the future of wake sports by fostering a strong, connected community,” said Jeff Husby, president & CEO of Wake United. “Grassroots contests are the foundation of this sport, providing a stage for riders to grow, gain confidence, and push their limits. Through this series, we’re creating opportunities for riders to progress, build lasting friendships, and be part of something bigger. The excitement around the series has been incredible, and we’re thrilled to expand our reach even further with the Florida State Championships, welcoming more wake athletes into the Wake United family.”
