WWA Japan Interview: Toshiki Yasui

Q. 今年はマリブエボリューションプロが、琵琶湖で開催され、マリブ&アクシスアジアツアー開催されることについての真相と意気込み。

 

昨年は日本で世界初となるwwaアジアチャンピオンシップが開催され

本年はマリブエボリューションプロが琵琶湖で開催される事が凄く嬉しく思います。

また、同時にアジアでは日本が先頭に立ち、マリブ・アクシス アジアツアーも開催されます。

アジアでwwaのイベントが開催される様になり日本のライダー達もアジアライダーとの交流もあり喜んでいます。

 

Q.これからアジア諸国でイベントが開催され、アジアのウェイクシーンが成長、発展していくことに関して、トップライダーとして何を提供していけるか。

 

やはりアジアの環境やスキルレベルはアメリカやオーストラリアに比べるとまだまだ未熟です。

今まで世界を旅してきた経験を活かし、環境整備やライダー達のスキルアップのサポートをしていきたいと思います。

そして僕の持っているコネクションを活かしライダー達が気軽に安心して海外へ行ける様に勤めていきます。

 

Q.これから先頭を切って日本、アジアのウェイクシーンをリードしていくことについて、日本のウェイクファン達へのメッセージ。

 

日本を中心にアジアのウェイクシーンはまだまだ発展していくと思います。

アジアの環境を整備する事で海外ライダーがもっとアジアへ来る様になり、また日本人ライダーも海外へ行きやすくなる様な環境ができると思います。

その為には僕達の様なライダーがもっと海外へ行き、日本アジアへ情報をインポートしなければなりません。

アジア・日本のウェイクボード発展の為に私たちは頑張ります。

Hey Wake Parks! PARK REGISTRATION FOR THE 2018 WWA WAKEPARK POINTS CHASE SERIES NOW OPEN!

The World Wake Association (WWA) announces the return of the WWA Wakepark Points Chase Series (WPC) for 2018. Coming into its ninth season, this popular series features teams comprised of amateurs and pro’s representing wakeparks across the nation. Riders compete in both traditional cable and features only disciplines, accumulating individual and team points to qualify for the Nautique WWA Wakepark National Championships. Growing each year, the WWA Wakepark Points Chase Series has over 450 riders from more than 35 wakeparks in a fun environment focused on community and rider development.

Park Registration Info:

• Click HERE for Wakepark registration.
Parks must register before March 5th, 2018  in order to take advantage of all benefits and the lowest rates!

• If your park has not previously participated in the Points Chase series, please direct your representative HERE for all participation information.

• Each park can choose to participate in both traditional and features only series or select just one.
*Two tower parks are limited to the “features only” series.

• All rider registration must be completed at your local park.

• Each participating park will be provided with Wake Park Points Chace Series guidelines and standards for judging. Each park will apply all standards to best suit their individual course.

Features Only: The four week features-only series will begin in mid-May. Parks will decide which night Monday-Friday works best for them to host the event once a week for four consecutive weeks. Each week, parks will designate one feature on which riders will be given three attempts to complete their best trick. Most parks will run each rider and give them three attempts before the next rider hits the water. If the rider falls the cable may slow down and pick him or her up if they have attempts remaining. Out of course falls will count as an attempt. Local judges will rank the riders by their single best hit. This four-week series will consist of an event featuring a kicker on each side of the course and a rail/transfer on each side to keep things as fair as possible for regular and goofy footed riders. After four weeks of events the overall rankings will be decided by the riders’ top 3 out of 4 finishes, dropping the lowest score. The top 5 from each division will qualify for the National Points Championship.

Traditional Cable: The three-week traditional cable series will run in June. Parks will decide which night Monday-Friday works best for them to host the event once a week for three consecutive weeks. Each week, parks will host a traditional cable competition ranking riders in seven different skill-based divisions. Local judges will rank riders on their best overall run (lowest score of two runs is thrown out). After three weeks of events, the overall rankings will be decided by the riders’ top 3 out of 4 finishes, dropping the lowest score. The top 5 from each division will qualify for the National Points Championship.

2018 Series Dates:

Features Only: Open to all operating public full size and two tower parks.
Stop 1: May 14-18 (park picks which day of week to host event)
