The Rider Experience is a family oriented event that provides plenty of excitement throughout the weekend for all ages and abilities, such as Freeride Friday, Judge’s Experience, and the chance to surf behind Malibu’s Wakesetter on Surf Gate Sunday. In 2015, Canada held their first Rider Experience event in St. Zotique, Quebec, which witnessed Japanese rider Toshiki Yasui steal the glory in the Pro Card category, just ahead of Canada’s very own Chris Sinkic and Ryan Galea in second and third, respectively.
For 2016, Malibu WWA Rider Experience Canada will host the sixth and final Malibu WWA Pro Card Qualifier, which qualifies riders for the WWA World Rankings and the right to compete at all WWA professional contests for the 2016 season. Malibu will have a handful of professional athletes in attendance, including Chad Sharpe, Oli Derome, Raph Derome, Jeff Langley, and Brian Grubb.
