Abilene, TX – The 2nd Annual U.S. Open of Wakesurfing® held in Fort Worth, TX wrapped up the Endless Wave Tour with a bang as the most-attended event of the summer. The U.S. Open of Wakesurfing® brought over 80 riders ranging from world champions to groms, all of which brought the heat and fought for the prestigious title of being the U.S. Open of Wakesurfing® Champion.
TeamTige wakesurfers set the epic tone for the weekend by giving clinics and lessons to their younger fans and up-and-coming wakesurfers. Competition kicked off for two packed days of action behind the 2017 Tige RZX with the TAPS 3 Surf System.
“We are stoked on how the event turned out,” said Matt Edmonson, coordinator of the U.S. Open of Wakesurfing®. “Everything about it continues to grow. The number of riders, the prize money, the crowd, and even the surf wave just keeps getting bigger, so it was great.”
