Thank you for participating in the
WWAJAPAN ASIA WAKESURF Championships Presented by AWSF.
On the first day, we were hit by rain in the afternoon, and on the last day, we had trouble with unseasonal algae.
Thanks to the cooperation of the staff and participants, we were able to complete the event without any accidents. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
