Each cable park differs from one to the next, and it’s anyone’s game as riders adapt at each stop to progress and evolve the sport of wakeboarding.
To kick off the five stop series, BSR in Waco, TX, USA, one of the true oases in wakeboarding, will host riders and spectators in a unique way with safari style amenities and fun features.

With both USA stops on back-to-back weekends, riders will be able to link these two stops together easily. Terminus is one huge, cool park; when 100% complete, it will be one of the largest parks in the world with and will be able to accommodate riding levels from first-timers to Top Pros.
Most wakeboarders around the globe are just learning that Brazil has a full-sized wake park and adding this stop to the 2014 WWA Wake Park World Series is going to launch this park off the map. It’s the first and only full-sized wake park in South America, making it a huge destination for wakeboarders throughout the continent. One thing is for sure; Brazilian wakeboarders are coming for it!
Stop four of the Wake Park World Series will be hosted at the one-and-only, Al Forsan International Sports Resort.
