Reinforcing its support and investment within the recreational marine industry, YANMAR is announced as presenting sponsor for three prestigious Nautique WWA wakesurf and wakeboard national and world championship events in 2020.
YANMAR opens the partnership by backing two WWA events at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Georgia, this weekend (August 28 to 30), as the sport’s elite compete at the Nautique Masters Wakesurf Championships and Nautique WWA Wakeboard World Championships. Riders, fans and spectators will be able to experience the YANMAR engine technology at the company’s booth and at on-water demos every evening in conjunction with Hyperlite Wake. In September, YANMAR will present the Nautique Canadian Wakesurf National Championships in Abbotsford, British Columbia.
The Nautique Wakesurf Series represents the pinnacle of wakesurf competition, providing a global platform for the world’s greatest watersports athletes to perform at venues across the globe. The events provide innovative formats for competition in fun-filled, family-friendly environments.
