Attracting hundreds of spectators, the event in Tai Po Waterfront Park included wakeboard and wakesurf competitions, with men, women and youth categories.
Nautique, represented in Hong Kong by Asia Yachting, title sponsored the event following five years of sponsorship from 2015 through 2019. This year, Nautique supplied new Super Air Nautique GS22 and Super Air Nautique G23 wake boats for the competition.
