The wake surfing community was formed by a water sport that Centurion Boats popularized. It is the buy-in of these dedicated enthusiasts that has pushed Centurion to become the World’s best wake surf boat. This group sold out to the fun, camaraderie and empowerment wake surfing provides. Because of this they have taken the Centurion brand and wake surfing competition to new heights. The wake surf community’s feedback and support has played a large role in the momentum Centurion is currently experiencing.
Centurion started competitive wake surfing in 1996, just after the release of The Wave. The first full World Wake Surfing Championship was held at Lake Yosemite in Merced, CA. The evolution of Centurion surf boat models started on a path of steep progress during this time and haven’t slowed down since.
Competitions help us market and sell Centurion boats. Athletes come to compete and potential customers bring their children to compete. They have the opportunity to surf behind a Centurion as well as talk with other competitors who own the boats over several days. Before they know it, they buy a Centurion. In some cases, they become a brand ambassador or sponsored team rider. Some have even been hired as employees, like Ken Scribner, who is now the Centurion & Supreme Team Manager.
In 2023 we accepted the daunting task of creating and running the Centurion World Series of Wake Surfing, thanks in no small part to a group of our ambassadors. They helped us organize and run the competitions. With their partnership we were able to continue to manufacture Centurion momentum on the water all over the World. We have now partnered with the WWA to administer the World Series of Wake Surfing and the World Wake Surfing Championship.
The 2025 season of the World Series of Wake Surfing has proved to create more brand momentum than ever before thanks to the WWA and support from our top tier dealers. Our 2025 World Series of Wake Surfing stops consistently filled up within 24 hours and the on-site crowds were huge. The livestream consistently had 2,000 to 4,000 views. In October we will be hosting our 29th Centurion World Wake Surfing Championship in Winter Haven, FL. This WWSC will be combined with an Owners Reunion, Water Proof Tour demos and a special product unveiling to commemorate our 50th Anniversary.
We are continuing to manufacture momentum with wake surfing competitions. Are you? If you would like more information about your dealership hosting a 2026 World Series of Wake Surfing stop please email amauzy@centurion-supreme.com.
