One of the hallmark events of the IWWF World Barefoot Water Ski Championships is now in full swing in Napanee, Ontario, Canada
The Men’s Tricks competition kicked off a soggy morning on the lake as men from around the world brought out their A-Game on Dream Lake. From dizzying surface multiple turns to flips… some the legends of the sport gave all to make the next round of competition… and maybe make history.
Just 12 men made the semi-final round in tricks, led by perennial champion David Small of Great Britain with a pending world record of 13,350 points… then Jackson Gerard and Keith St. Onge of the USA. The Cut
The same threesome led the men into the semi-final round of men’s Wake Slalom, with St. Onge (USA) leading the way with 20.2 followed by Gerard (USA) and Small (GBR).
Junior Girls Slalom preliminaries wrapped up with Americans Lexi McCauley and Alex Youngblood leading the way to finals Followed by Australia’s Elaina McClung.
Semi-final rounds begin Wednesday. For complete results and a livestream of the IWWF Barefoot Worlds go here.
