Third Best Wavehopper Club in the UK
Latest rankings provided by the Wild Water Racing Executive, indicate that The Sharks, despite only doing two Wavehopper Races are ranked third best in Great Britain.
The Sharks have not competed in Wavehopper Races since early in the 2015/16 season due to concerns about interpretations of rules and the awarding of prizes (or the lack of).
The series is designed to get more people involved in the sport and yet they stopped giving out prizes, which in our opinion is not good for encouraging youngsters.
So if after participating in only two events we have come third, maybe we will return full-time to Wavehopper Racing and show them we are number one! If needs be The Sharks will supply prizes for our champions in future.
