The 2024 Nautique Wakesurf Series came to an epic close this past weekend as the Nautique Masters Wakesurf Championships presented by GM Marine shattered records and became the largest wakesurf event in the history of the sport! With 190 entries, Nautique was deeply honored to host this monumental event on the iconic waters of Robin Lake at Callaway Gardens.
With both Masters and Overall titles on the line, the best wave in the industry served as the perfect canvas for the global wakesurfing community as they threw down their best tricks of the season behind the award-winning Super Air Nautique G23 Paragon. The numerous divisions offered for each and every skill level provided an inclusive experience for riders resulting in an impressive competitor age range of 5-69! Among these armature and professional wakesurfers were 10+ families with two or more members competing for a Nautique Masters win and a chance to achieve the 2024 Nautique Wakesurf Series Overall Champion Titles.
Team Nautique athlete Noah Flegel pushed the boundaries of what is possible in competitive foiling once again with the first ever strapless foil 3-shuv landed in a contest! Noah’s groundbreaking performances landed him wins in both Pro Men Foil and Pro Men Foil Straps, and a third-place finish in Pro Men Surf. Nautique teammate John Ackerman also put on an incredible show, taking second in the Pro Men Foil Straps division.
“We saw some of the best riding the sport has ever seen in all of the pro divisions, and I was stoked to be in all 4 finals with the best of the best!” said Team Nautique athlete Noah Flegel. “It is always a pleasure to compete behind the G23 Paragon; It throws the biggest and best waves in the game!”
Other notable performances include that of Nautique Team athletes Bailey Dunn and Jodi Grassman as they each took third in Pro Women Surf and Pro Women Skim, respectively.
“We are beyond thrilled to have hosted the largest wakesurf event in the sports history,” said Nautique President Greg Meloon. “Wakesurf Masters was created to showcase the incredible growth and popularity of wakesurfing at the best venue in watersports. It reflects our commitment to supporting and advancing the sport behind the Paragon G23 which provides the most progressive surf wave available on the market.”
With results in for the Nautique Maters Wakesurf Championship, we were proud to crown the 2024 Nautique Wakesurf Series Overall Champions! These riders battled it out behind the G23 Paragon all season long and accumulated the most points within all four stops of the series. We’d like to extend a special congratulations to Team Nautique athletes Noah Flegel and Bailey Dunn for their achievements as 2024 Nautique Wakesurf Series Overall Champions! Noah emerged as the Overall Champion in both Pro Men Foil and Pro Men Foil Straps, and Bailey proved victorious as the Overall Champion in Pro Women Skim!
“What a year! It’s a privilege being able to represent a company I love so much,” said Nautique athlete Bailey Dunn. “It’s been awesome to see the progression in the sport thanks to the G23 Paragon providing the best waves in the industry! Thank you to Nautique and the WWA for all you do!”
In celebration of all the incredible athletes who have triumphed in this year’s Nautique Wakesurf Series, we are excited to invite the pro division series winners and two of the amateur division winners, chosen at random, to the Surf Ranch for a one-of-a-kind experience to surf perfect waves with fellow champions!
