Mr. Luciano Serafica, President of the Italian Waterski & Wakeboard Federation, said: “We are delighted to have been chosen to host the 2021 IWWF World Wakeboard Championship in the fantastic setting of Lago del Salto, unique for its characteristics that makes it one of the most sought-after spots for organizing high level sporting events.”

Jose Antonio Perez Priego, President of IWWF, said: “We are very excited the IWWF World Wakeboard Championships are returning to Italy. The venue at Lago del Salto will see the world’s best riders challenging each other at the highest level of competition.”

I can’t think of a better place to make history with the IWWF than in Reiti, Italy. We are so honoured and excited to be there.” Amy Mauzy, Vice President of Sales and Marketing Centurion & Supreme Boats.
