Official Nautique Press Release:
ORLANDO, FL (July 30, 2026) - The nation's top wakeboarders and wakesurfers converged at the Sunset Cove Amphitheater in Boca Raton, Florida, this past weekend as the Nautique WWA Wakeboard National Championships and the Nautique USA National Wakesurf Championships, both presented by GM Marine, crowned the 2026 National Champions. The event also served as the third stop of the 2026 Nautique Wake Series and the fourth stop of the 2026 Nautique Wakesurf Series, with valuable points on the line as athletes continue their pursuit of overall series titles.
Bringing wakeboarding and wakesurfing together at one National Championship event, the weekend united professional and amateur athletes across both disciplines. With 240 competitors, the event celebrated every level of the sport while inspiring the next generation of riders and showcasing the continued progression of wake sports.
The Super Air Nautique G23 Paragon pulled Team Nautique athlete Joey Harris to win the National Championship Title in Pro Men Surf with Team Nautique athlete Noah Flegel taking second. Parker Payne rounded out the podium after making history by landing the first-ever kickflip in surf-style competition.
“I had such a rad time this week and I’m grateful to have ended up on the top spot in Pro Men Surf,” said Team Nautique athlete Joey Harris. "The level of riding keeps progressing and I’m stoked to compete with these awesome dudes. Thank you Nautique and the WWA for putting on these sick events - I’m looking forward to what’s next!”
Noah Flegel also delivered one of the weekend's most impressive feats by competing in all four Pro Men Surf divisions in addition to Pro Men Wakeboard. Remaining undefeated since the inception of Pro Men Foil divisions, he captured the National Championship Titles in both Pro Men Foil and Pro Men Foil – Straps.
“Having the Nautique National Championships in my hometown of Boca Raton has been incredible," said Team Nautique athlete Noah Flegel. "Getting to compete in front of my friends and family is a dream come true. Taking the win in both Pro Men Foil and Pro Men Foil - Straps was my main objective, and I’m so stoked to come second in Pro Men Surf behind my fiercest competitor and fellow Nautique team rider Joey Harris!”
In the Pro Women Skim and Surf divisions, team Nautique athletes Bailey Dunn and Jodi Grassman found themselves on the podium with Bailey taking second in Pro Women Skim and Jodi taking third in Pro Women Surf.
On the wakeboard side, the Super Air Nautique G23 threw its industry-leading wakes for Team Nautique athlete Cory Teunissen to put together one of his cleanest stand-up passes of the season to claim the 2026 Nautique WWA Pro Men Wakeboard National Championship Title.
“I’m absolutely stoked to take the top spot at Nautique Wakeboard Nationals,” said Team Nautique athlete Cory Teunissen. "Wakeboarding is in such an insane place right now. I feel like I’m constantly just trying to keep up, so when these moments come around they feel that much more special. Thank you to everyone who loves and supports me. I appreciate you all more than you know."
The Pro Women Wakeboard division also marked a significant milestone for the sport as the finals featured double-ups behind the Super Air Nautique G23, highlighting the continued progression of professional women's wakeboarding.
“Each year, the National Championships remind us of our passion for wake sports," said Nautique President, Greg Meloon. "Watching athlete progression as families, fans, and competitors come together for an incredible weekend is what the Nautique Wake and Surf Series are all about.”
With another successful weekend in the books, attention now turns to the final stops of both series, where overall Nautique Wake Series and Nautique Wakesurf Series champions will be crowned.
