World Ranking System (WRS)
Brought to you by Boat Bling, The World Ranking System is a highly developed system of scoring, used to calculate an athlete's ranking against others in their division.
The system itself takes into consideration the athlete's previous year points and current year's points rewarded at each event based off of the athlete's ranking, the level of the event, and who competed at the event.
Since 2012
The Competitive Wake Surf Association has been the sole developer of wakesurfing events throughout the world.
The goal of our organization is to build the sport from the grassroots level up, while providing consistently fair competition at all levels.
Throughout the years we have developed the World Ranking System for our athletes to be successfully ranked against other competitors in their division.
The CWSA offers five skill levels to compete in: Juniors, Masters, Amateur, Outlaw, and Professional.
Each skill level consists of a surf and skim men and women division with the exception of juniors which is a combined gender and board division. More information can be found below.

Why Compete With Us?
We have 17 unique divisions detailed below. If that's not enough, we have over 1,000 members and growing in over 25 different countries.
Juniors
Juniors is a combined gender and style division for all competitors under 13 years of age as of the 1st day of the calendar year.
Masters
Minimum age for male athletes in 2018 will be 45 years of age, and minimum age for female athletes will be 35.
Amateur
Entry skill level for any competitor interested in testing their wakesurf abilities in competition. This is where we recommend you start.
Outlaw
Intermediate to advanced level riders that show capabilities of mastering professional level abilities, but might lack the consistency of a professional.
Professional
These are the innovators to the sport that show exceptional level of knowledge and ability in the sport. We expect our professional riders to not only innovate but conduct themselves as role models.
