ORLANDO, FL, UNITED STATES, March 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Wake United announced the official schedule for the 2026 Wake United Surf + Wake Series, a four-stop grassroots wakesurf and wakeboard competition series returning to Florida and Georgia this spring and summer.
A two-time Nautique Dealer Event of the Year award winner, the Wake United Surf + Wake Series continues its focus on community-building and athlete development, providing a welcoming entry point for first-time competitors while supporting progression for experienced riders.
The 2026 season opens April 18-19 at Champions Lake in Auburndale, Florida, with the Nautique WWA Florida State Championships and Masters Wakeboard Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ).

“The Wake United Surf + Wake Series is built around confidence, connection and progression,” said Jeff Husby, president and CEO of Wake United. “From first-time competitors to seasoned athletes, this series creates an environment where riders can grow, feel supported and truly enjoy competing. Being recognized twice by Nautique as Dealer Event of the Year reflects the strength of our community and partners.”
