You can sign up to the Wake Lottery on the Wakeboard UK website . The more balls in the bag, the more you could win and the more money there will be to support British wakeboarding.
The lottery was launched in 2021 to transform the way funding of the GB Wakeboard Squad and development of wakeboarding in the UK is supported.
It works on the same basis as the very successful lottery set up by Friends of Tournament.
Individuals or groups of people pay £25 a month and, if their number is drawn in the lottery, they win.
Just under a third of the money raised from the Wake Lottery will be paid out in four cash prizes each month. The rest will be allocated by the fundraising sub-committee, Friends of Wake, with roughly half going towards GB Team travel and half towards the development of wakeboarding in the UK.
