The Masters is one of the heaviest contests of the entire season. It’s one of those events that serves as a “proving grounds” for riders and once you get a Masters title under your belt, it's like you join this elite group of riders. Serving as the fifth and final stop of the 2025 Nautique Wakesurf Series, the Nautique Masters Wakesurf Championships went down on Lake Robin at Callaway Gardens, GA with pride and titles on the line.
With a good bit of Phase 5 riders qualified to ride in this event, we were stoked to see what the team would put together and we were not disappointed! First and foremost, pro team riders Whitley Stewart and Jett Lambert secured their third and second Masters Titles, respectively, with Ashley Inloes following up Whitley with a 2nd place finish and Lee Hite behind Jett with a 3rd place finish in Pro Skim. Parker Payne made a solid showing in the Pro Surf category with a 4th place finish, just missing out on the podium.
For the amateur divisions, we saw plenty of team Phase 5 action. Jayden Harris, who has tons of style, took second in the Open Women’s Surf. Little Emma Proudfit stood tall for 1st in the Girls 13 & Under Skim with Lily Williams in 3rd while Phupa Sitbutr took 1st in Jr. Men 14-18 Skim and 3rd in Jr. Men 14-18 Surf. Declyn Van Der Riet and Finley Jones were right there with Phupa, taking 2nd and 3rd respectively in Jr. Men 14-18 Skim. Anna Taylor came away with 2nd in Adaptive Standing with Victoria Moroski showing her skills and taking 1st in Jr. Women 14-18 Skim. The longboard king, David Williams, landed himself in 1st in Men’s 40-49 Surf as well as Lindsay Hovsepian taking 1st in Open Women Skim. And to round it off, Vanessa Williams and Jolene Allen secured 2nd and 3rd, respectively, in both Women’s 30-40-49 Skim and Surf!
Congrats again to the crew!
