The two men most responsible for the addition of wakesurfing to USA Wakeboard Nationals are Ed Sullivan and Chris Walker. Chris Walker has been President of the Board of Directors of USA Wakeboard and Ed Sullivan has been President of the Midwest Board Sports Club. Ed Sullivan was a prolific organizer on the midwest through last year, organizing in Indiana and Ohio mostly.
At the end of 2006 Chris Walker, Bryon Greene, and Ed Sullivan were at the restaurant during a break at the Wakeboard Midwest Halloween Washout. Chris was involved with a number of events and so Ed Sullivan asked if he could add wakesurfing to one of those events. Chris said “Now Ed, I want you to sit down before I tell you what I have in mind.” Chris invited Ed Sullivan to add wakesurfing to the 2007 NWL National Championship. That went off so well and Chris has been very supportive of the efforts to grow wakesurfing, that wakesurfing has been a component of Nationals since that time.
Chris lobbied USA Wakeboard to make that addition. Chris was able to add wakesurfing as a direct result of the growth of the sport due to the effort that Jeff Walker (my dad!) and the AWSA have made over the previous three or five years.
Most of those early contests were held as USA Wakeboard League (NWL) grassroots events. The NWL is the USA Wakeboard grassroots organization. The heyday of USA Wakeboard was in 2008 there were state championships in California (Northern and Southern), Indiana, Minnesota, Ohio, and Texas.
In 2009 and 2010, there was a significant change in the fee structure of USA Wakeboard’s grassroots events and most wakesurf organizers migrated to the WWA for insurance and sanctioning, reducing the USA Wakeboard wakesurfing events to just two.

Nowadays I’m writing concerning a developing story, I was of course, before months ago. For people who browse regularly, you may recall I wrote a piece concerning Jacques Villeneuve, the 1995 Indianapolis five hundred champion and 1997 Formula One (F1) World Champion. Villeneuve, has had something of a star crossed career, as he became world champion at the age of twenty six and joined an illustrious pantheon in racing history, having won the IndyCar Championship, Indy five hundred and F1 titles. For perspective that list contains three names: Mario Andretti, Emerson Fittipaldi, and Villeneuve.
