Ten Team GB riders have travelled to Hungary where they will attempt to match their performance in 2022 in Denmark when they won Team Gold. They are competing at the 2023 IWWF Cable Wakeboard European & African Youth and Senior Championships.

The eagerly-awaited competition takes place at the West Side Cable Park in Gyor this week and is shaping up to be a showcase of exceptional skill, sportsmanship, and high-flying tricks featuring seasoned athletes from across Europe and Africa.

Cable wakeboarding competitions are a demonstrate of spectacular talent involving breathtaking flips, spins, and aerial manoeuvres. Athletes from all age categories in the Youth and Senior divisions will compete for the titles and will be aiming to push the boundaries of what's possible in the sport of wakeboarding.

The IWWF Wakeboard European & African Youth and Senior Championships 2023 isn't merely a contest; it's a celebration of the camaraderie and passion that define wakeboarding. Competitors will not only strive for individual glory but also embrace the collective spirit of this exhilarating sport.

The Team GB wakeboarding squad is composed of a diverse mix of athletes aged from 12 to over 40. All eyes will be on these 10 riders as they look to impress on an international stage and contribute to Great Britain's successful history in wake sports.
