    Pine Mountain, GA (May 24, 2013) – Sunny weather with breezy conditions kicked off the 21st Junior Masters Water Ski & Wakeboard Tournament® this Memorial Day Weekend at majestic Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, GA just southwest of Atlanta.

The Junior Men’s Slalom final came down to newcomer Jonah Shaffer edging out Dorien Llewellyn with a score of 3@38-off claiming his first Junior Masters Slalom title followed by Yiannis Nathanail rounding out the podium.

    Unfortunately the wind conditions created challenges throughout semifinals and finals. Stephanie Griffiths from Australia jumped 132 feet claiming her first Junior Masters title followed by Charlotte Wharton and Chiara Bonnemann. Additionally, the Junior Men’s Jump final, Austria’s Dorien Llewellyn jumped 173 feet claiming his first Junior Men’s Jump title followed by Taylor Garcia and Felix Blomqvist.

    During the Junior Men’s Wakeboarding semifinal, plenty of frontside 7’s and grabbed mobe’s were landed with ease, there were even a few mobe 5’s, 9’s and a couple backside 7’s behind the state-of-the-art Super Air Nautique G23. Making it through to the finals from heat one was Massi Piffaretti from Italy and Tony Iacconi from Australia competing against heat two top finalists Noah Flegel from USA and Cory Teunissen from Australia. In the finals, a few of the competitors had difficulty adapting to the gusty winds and had early falls. In the end it was Iacconi claiming his first Junior Masters Wakeboard title with hammers such as a front mobe 5, nose grab crow 5, heelside frontside 7, and massive tricks into the flats followed by Flegel, Piffaretti and Teunissen rounding out the podium.
