The INT League will be hosting its US Championships tournament at Ski West Village Bakersfield, California October 1 – 4. Waterski, wakeboard, kneeboard and wake skate competitors will compete over the course of four days to win the US Champion title.
Four hundred and fifty participants will travel from over 25 states to compete in this prestigious tournament and over 1000 spectators are expected.
The INT League considers a variety of factors when choosing the site for this celebrated event. The event requires two lakes side by side for optimum spectator viewing, and the lakes must be deep enough to host wakeboard boats. INT also looks for a location that has warm weather in October, a small risk of storms and natural disasters. They also chose lakes that are near a major airport, in a city with affordable hotels to host participants and sponsors, as well as necessary banquet accommodations.
INT League CEO Rick Stocks says, “After looking at a few other sites, we have decided to return to Ski West Village. The lake owners are very welcoming and accommodating. The town of Bakersfield is very excited to have us back and can meet our specific needs to host a fantastic event for our competitors and sponsors.”
Few lakes are able to meet the strict criteria INT sets forth when choosing a site. First and foremost INT wants all of their participants to have prime skiing and wakeboarding conditions so they can perform to their potential. Ski West Village offers great water and weather conditions to meet this goal.
“We encourage water sports enthusiasts to compete in their local INT League and work towards qualifying for the US Championships. It is a fun event, with daytime competition and evening entertainment. Special thanks to all of our sponsors for helping us host this amazing convergence of talented skiers and riders,” says Stocks.
