Looking to organize a local module event?
The module format events combine the aspects of ‘Live’ competition – such as a start and end buoy, falls, two passes per run, and more than one run per event – with a video based worldwide competition in a World Series of Wake Surfing event. All module format events will count towards the event attendance requirement to possibly qualify to be invited to the World Wake Surfing Championship.
The module event format is the opportunity for you, your club, your friends, and small groups to participate in a worldwide event even if COVID restrictions in your area limit travel and gathering size, in other words, prevent the execution of a classic live event.
The CWSA offers this opportunity for you, your friends, your school, or club to participate in these events. The CWSA relies on you, the member and other members in your area, to take steps to form a module in your location, so that you can compete.
