Orlando, FL (November 22, 2021) – The World Wake Association (WWA) and Nautique Boat Company are proud to announce the return of the Nautique Wake Series for 2022, with four action-packed event stops. Towed exclusively behind the award-winning Super Air Nautique G23, this series delivers the highest level of wakeboarding competition providing a career-defining platform for athletes to come to showcase progression and define themselves as the sport’s elite. A dedication to rider development and a family-friendly environment has made the Nautique Wake Series home to an international field of athletes competing in all WWA professional and amateur divisions, continuing a tradition that always puts riders first.

“The Nautique Wake Series continues to be the gold standard in wakeboarding event series,” said Nautique president Greg Meloon. “These contests are where the best riders in the world are vying for who will be named the best overall rider behind the award-winning G23. The progression of riding will make 2022 the best series yet as we get to watch and see who captures the coveted overall title.”

The 2022 Nautique Wake Series will kick off with the 61st Moomba Masters International Invitational at the Moomba Festival in Melbourne, Australia. Stop two will yet again bring the most elite selection of riders to the legendary waters of Robin Lake at Callaway Gardens, for the Nautique Masters Waterski and Wakeboard Tournament® presented by GM Marine.

EVERYONE WANTS TO BE OUT ON THE WATER, LET BOATMATE GET YOU THERE!

We’re grateful to have Boatmate as an event partner at our Nautique WWA Wakeboard National Championships, Nautique WWA Wakeboard World Championships, Nautique USA National Wakesurf Championships and Nautique Wakesurf Masters Championships. Not only does Boatmate help get the event towboats to their destination all summer long, they support the sport through giving back to the athletes and education on trailer safety!


 

THE RIGHT TOW VEHICLE

Towing your boat will impact how any vehicle drives. The larger the boat in comparison to the tow vehicle, the greater the performance impact will be. For this reason, knowing the overall weight of your boat and trailer in comparison to what your vehicle is capable of towing is critical to you and your family safely enjoying a day at the lake. Vehicle manufacturers provide a “Tow Rating” which is the maximum weight of the towed trailer. The GVWR of the trailer, which is listed on the VIN tag located on the front inside of the trailer frame rail, should never exceed the tow rating of your vehicle. Please also specifically read your tow vehicle owner’s manual as some vehicles do have a capable tow rating, but require additional accessories to achieve that rating (please see “weight distribution hitches” below).

 HITCHING
There are many options on the market for properly hitching your trailer to your tow vehicle. Understanding the requirements of the coupler on your trailer as well as the equipment available to install on your tow vehicle are critical elements to ensuring a safe and smooth towing experience. After reviewing your Boatmate Trailers Owner’s Packet to understand the requirements of your coupler please select the proper hitch, receiver, and ball for your tow vehicle. Please keep in mind that not only must you select the correct size for the coupler and your vehicle, but the capacity of the hitch, receiver, and ball must also meet or exceed the GVWR of your trailer. Once you have the correct equipment familiarize yourself with seating the coupler all the way on the ball and ensuring the coupler is securely latched.

 TRAILER COMPONENTS
Understanding the many components that make up your trailer is important to ensure you are ready to tow safely. It is important to understand the importance of properly functioning brakes, properly inflated and rated tires, properly torqued wheel lug nuts, safety chains, emergency break away cables, and properly working lights in order to tow safely. Many of these components should be part of your safety check every time you tow while some only require periodic maintenance. Please refer to your Boatmate Trailers Owner’s Packet for specific information.
