2026 Midlands Nautique Wake Open - Registration Open

22 Apr 2026

The wait is over. We're kicking off the 2026 UK wake season at Cliff Lakes, Tamworth on 19–20 June — fifth year in a row, same unbeatable vibe.
2026 Midlands Nautique Wake Open - Registration Open

The UK wake season is back. On 19–20 June 2026 we're heading back to Cliff Lakes, Tamworth — our home for the Wake Open five years running, and home of the UK's biggest Aqua Park.

Unofficial practice fires up on Friday 19 June. The main event explodes into action on Saturday 20 June — the first time the whole UK wake community comes together after the off-season. New tricks. New energy. Same unbeatable vibe.

We're once again supported by Midlands Nautique as our title sponsor, bringing the pulling power and backing that's been part of this event since day one.

What's on the line

  • Divisions from U12 Groms through O50 Super Vets — Men, Women, Open, Masters, Veterans and Intermediates.
  • The Team Showdown returns after a massive 2025 debut. Olli Loder and Team Huevos took the crown last year — new riders, fresh tactics, bragging rights on the line.
  • A Double Up comp at the end of the event, time permitting. £10 buy-in, winner takes all, max 10 riders.
  • Never competed before? The Novice (Grass Roots) division is open if we get three riders interested — bring your mates and come find out what it's all about.

Larissa Foundation

We're proud to continue raising funds for the Larissa Foundation, honouring Larissa Fellows — a young rider who tragically lost her life to leukaemia in 2024. Last year, Freddie Sewell received the first-ever Larissa Memorial Award. Larissa's parents will select the 2026 recipient. Come down and support the fundraising.
