We are pleased to announce that the World Wake Association JAPAN WAKESURF OPEN PRESENTED BY YANMAR 2023 tournament has ended successfully.

We would like to thank many people for their cooperation in organizing this tournament.
Thank you very much.

This tournament was held at Lake Biwa as the NAUTIQUE WAKESURF SERIES 2023 Japan, Spain, UK, and US series matches and the WWA Asia Tour series matches.
Athletes widely gathered from Japan, USA, Canada, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Ukraine, Dubai, Uzbekistan and China.

As the Nautique series enters its 3rd year, we are happy to announce that the international competition that started in 2017 was able to overcome the COVID-19 disaster and hold it again.
All the staff started preparing for the arrival of the players.
It was a treasure that the tournament ended safely and everyone went home with a smile.

Also, this time, Mr. Greg, president of Nautique, and Mr. Shannon, chairman of WWA, attended the event.
The grade of the tournament has risen further, and it has become a special tournament that will be remembered by the players and staff.
We wish you all the best in the new season.
