The invited riders include the 2004 World Cup Overall winner, Daniel Watkins (Australia) the current WWC Wakeboard World Champions Robi Rendo (Argentina) and Phillip Soven (USA).   This perfect location gives the public a spectacular waterfront setting where they can get within a few meters of the riders during the event.

With MasterCraft and the world famous X-Star as the official tow boat, riders are expected to achieve their best possible performances.

 

In partnership with the City of Enghien-les-Bains, this first Stop of the Wakeboard World Cup will be sponsored by MasterCraft, Sport+, Europe2, Caisse d’Epargne, Groupe Lucien Barriere and Perles de Tahiti. The action packed programme will feature two days of spectacular competition.  Also on the programme are a Tahitian Concert, Laser Show and Fireworks. The public will be offered a chance to win a holiday for two in Tahiti as they enjoy the wines, cheese and a variety of French specialities in the colorful tented village.
 
Last year, over 20,000 spectators crowded the Enghien-les-Bains lakefront tented village and even larger crowds are expected next weekend. With eight cities already bidding to host World Cup Stops in 2006, this is a unique way for each to show its waterfront tourism investment and developments to the World at large. Enghien-les-Bains is just 12km from the Eiffel Tower and will be the centre of attention next weekend for wakeboard fans in France.
