The world’s best waterskiiers and wakeboarders will make Mandurah their aquatic playground for two days from March 16 to 17.

The games will also incorporate the inaugural Australian International Waterski and Wakeboarding Federation (IWWF)World Cup Stop.

World number one wakeboarder Harley Clifford, world waterski jump champion and world record holder Freddy Krueger, and WA’s Ryan Green, who finished third in recent world championships, are among the competitors.

The City of Mandurah is expecting the exciting event to be a huge tourism drawcard with up to 128 national and international competitors.

Accompanying the competitors will be about 2000 supporters.

A full line-up of athletes will be announced in the coming weeks.
