The Roots is recognized by the provincial sport body as the designated Wakeboard & Wakeskate boat and cable series in Ontario. It is a not-for-profit event series organized by a committee of long-time competitive riders who have taken the initiative to provide the next generation of athletes with the opportunity to excel through this competitive series. Each event is ability driven which provides an inclusive environment from newbie riders as young as four, to the pro level rider, and all the way up to veterans 50+. The series is 100% grassroots focused with the goal of introducing new participants to the sport.
Cable is quickly becoming one of the most efficient, accessible, cost effective & fun ways to be pulled on your board and the Roots is extremely excited to be offering the first a three part cable series in the country. The contest series will stop off at three parks across the province including The Ranch Wakepark in Newmarket, Boarderpass in Sarnia and Bayou Cable Park in Ontario.
