The IWWF is pleased to announce that the 2023 IWWF World Waterski Racing Championships will be held on the sunny and spectacular Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia from the 9th to 19th of November 2023.
The host region of Gosford/Terrigal is located 77 km north of Sydney and will offer all teams, their families and supporters a World Class experience.
Gosford was formerly the home of New South Wales’ Zone 2 Ski Racing for nearly 20 years and this Venue was successfully used for the New South Wales’ World Selection Race in 2009.
The Race Course, set on a strip of Brisbane Waters offers concrete and rock walls at one end and open water at the other end and will test the IWWF World Championships contenders in a true ski racing battle.
Waterski racing is the ultimate water-based motorsport where speeds of 120mph can be achieved by a boat and a team consisting of a Driver, Observer and a Skier. IWWF World Championships events see competitors race 4 times over 10 days in classes for Open Men and Women, Formula 2 Men and Women, Junior Boys and Girls with the World Champion awarded by obtaining the most points from 3 out of the 4 races in each class. Races are timed over a 5km course with multiple laps run by competitors.
