The Centurion World Wake Surfing Championship presented by GM Marine is going off in downtown Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada for 2017. September 21st through the 23rd the World’s best wake surfers will be turning heads in downtown Kelowna on the shores of the Okanagan Lake. Water depths and beachfront viewing are optimum for a surf event of this caliber. There is also amazing local Centurion support for this event with the World’s largest towboat dealer, Wizard Lake Marine right there in Kelowna.

Official 2017 WWSC Towboat #1: 2018 Ri257 w/ Opti-V Hull Design
The biggest thing in towed water sports is back on the scene making more waves for the 2018 model year. Just 10 months since the introduction of the Centurion Ri257 we continue to see incredible retail response to the performance, look and amenities of this 26-foot towboat. Thanks to the Opti-V Hull design this Centurion has all the advantages of a big boat in waves, wakes and ride with uniquely better handling and fuel efficiency. This dominant performance earned the Ri257 the title of official towboat at the 2017 BoardCo Rocky Mountain Wake Surf Open. This Centurion was so successful pulling that World Series of Wake Surfing event, the Ri257 was made the Official Pro and Outlaw towboat for the 2017 World Wake Surfing Championship presented by GM Marine.
Official 2017 WWSC Towboat #1: 2018 Ri237 w/ Opti-V Hull Design
Why mess with success? The Centurion Ri237 already boasts the best waves, wakes and ride. Still, our engineers have found a way to improve the Ri237 by developing a completely new running surface for the 2018 model. The new Opti-V hull creates exceptional balance with engineered triangular pads on the rear corners of the hull. The side-to-side balance creates a symmetrical wakeboard wake, but because there is less resistance on this running surface the 2018 Ri237 delivers superior handling and 50% better fuel economy. The Ri237 is once again one of the official World Wake Surfing Championship towboats. In fact, after testing the Ri237 with the Opti-v hull design, the International Waterski and Wakeboard Federation (IWWF) selected the Centurion Ri237 as their official wakeboard towboat. So this World Championship towboat is literally the best of both Worlds.
