A large contingent of 23 cable wakeboarders is representing Great Britain at the IWWF European & African Wakeboard & Wakeskate Championships in Denmark this week.

The squad will compete in a variety of age categories including Juniors (Under 14s), Open and Veterans (Over 40s). There are nine women/girls in the GB team and 14 men/boys. For many of them this will be their first time competing for their country.

The youngest GB competitor is 11-year-old Marley O’Toole. He has recently returned from competing for Team GB in boat wakeboarding – at the World Championships in Italy and the Europeans in Germany.

The oldest competitor for GB is Joe Wooding (44),  who will compete in the Veteran Men category. 

Medals are up for grabs not just in cable wakeboarding but also in wakeskating.

The 2022 IWWF European & African Cable Wakeboard & Wakeskate Championships take place at Thy Cablepark in Thisted in north west Denmark. The first action on the water will be the qualification rounds in the Open categories on Monday 22nd August. The Championships conclude on Saturday 27th August.

Good luck to the whole team in Denmark:
