The USWL is a culmination of the WWA’s wisdom, my experience on and off the water, and the insights we have gathered from our participants/families to reimagine what a sustainable National Wake League can look like that provides an incredible experience for our participants, benefits the local and national communities, and is the foundation that we can build off of for the next 30+ years.
