What is the Rider Experience?

This week, we announced our dates for the 2026 MasterCraft WWA Rider Experience. Here are key things to know about Rider Experience.

 

What is Rider Experience?

In conjunction with World Wake Association, the Rider Experience is designed to welcome riders of all ages and abilities, focusing on competition, coaching, and community. MasterCraft is honored to partner with WWA to relaunch its Rider Experience series. The 5-stop tour will be towed by the all-new MasterCraft X series, giving riders world-class wakes and waves.

 

Where are the stops?

April 17 – 19: Acworth, GA

May 15 – 17: Little Elm, TX

June 12 – 14: Heber City, UT

June 19 – 21: Pontiac Lake, MI

What to expect:

The weekend kicks off on Friday with a MasterCraft Rule the Water demo and education day, featuring professional athlete-led on-water demonstrations, ride-and-drive experiences with the latest MasterCraft models, an interactive walkthrough of our newest technology and innovation. Saturday and Sunday shift to the WWA-sanctioned Regional Championships, where riders compete in amateur divisions based on age and ability. Division champs are crowned at each stop, and participation qualifies riders for the WWA Nationals.

 

How to sign up?:

Rider Registration is $135/division, with competitors registering separately for each discipline. A valid WWA registration is required for all participants. All riders must bring their own vest and board to participate.
