The MasterCraft x WWA Rider Experience Is Back — And It’s About to Go Off

There’s nothing like summer on the water — buttery mornings, perfected wakes, and that pure adrenaline rush when someone finally stomps a new trick. This year, that feeling’s getting cranked up to 11!

For the first time in over a decade, MasterCraft is linking up with the World Wake Association (WWA) to bring back a true classic — the MasterCraft WWA Rider Experience. This isn’t your average tour stop. It’s a full-on wake takeover built for every kind of rider — from first-timers to future pros chasing that podium spot.

MasterCraft and the WWA are on a mission to blow the doors open for wakeboarding, wakesurfing, and everything in between — giving more riders a shot to progress, connect, and rip behind some of the best boats in the game.

“The MasterCraft WWA Rider Experience is about creating pathways for riders at every stage – from a beginner’s first ride to an aspiring National Champion,” said Krista Schipner, VP of Marketing at MasterCraft Boat Holdings. “Partnering with the WWA allows us to combine their community roots with MasterCraft’s legacy of performance and luxury. Together, we’re creating the ultimate grassroots platform for progression on the water.”

Bottom line — this series is all about good vibes, good riding, and growing the next generation of wake legends.
