World's best wake surfers

The world's best wake surfers will invade Kelowna next week.

Kelowna's Hot Sands Beach at City Park will serve as the backdrop for the World Wakesurf championships, Thursday through Saturday.

Competition is expected to begin each day at 7 a.m.

Past, current and potential world champions have spent the summer competing in World Series of Wake Surfing events to earn a Competitive Wake Surf Association ranking that qualifies them for the championships.

According to the city, Hot Sands Beach will remain open for use, but some areas will have display tents and other equipment in place.

Swimmers will not be permitted in event areas marked off by buoys during the event.

You can also expect extra traffic in the park on Sept. 19 and 20 to accommodate event set up, and on Sept. 24 for takedown.
