WWA U.S. Nationals. Final.

Kenosha, Wis.- The 2007 Air Nautique WWA Wakeboard National Championships featured 70 riders in the Pro Men's Division, but on the final day of competition, only five riders remained: Shaun Murray, Trevor Hansen, Danny Harf, Rusty Malinoski and Erik Ruck. All five riders had a shot at the top spot, but after an intense final heat, Rusty Malinoski was named the victor.

"I'm stoked to win today. It's the first time I won this event, so I couldn't be happier right now," said Malinoski. "Winning Nationals is a great accomplishment for me."

Malinoski has been battling all season long for the top spot in the King of Wake standings and with his win at Nationals, Malinoski now leads all riders in the series.

Keith Lidberg (Pro Men's Division) impressed everyone today with the best rail trick, as the Minnesota native captured the Rip It Rail Trick Award.

All eyes were on Dallas Friday today, as the Orlando, Florida native was chasing her sixth consecutive National title, but Amber Wing, a third-year pro rider, upset Friday to claim victory in the Pro Women's Division.

Pro Wakeskating concluded today with Reed Hanson capturing the top spot in the finals.

Today, Florida riders seemed to dominate the amateur divisions. Jimmy LaRiche (Boca Raton) took the top spot in the Jr. Men's Division and Jason Soven (Longwood) claimed victory in the Jr. Boy's Division, while Victoria Kulp (Tampa) won the Jr. Women's Division. However, Californian Jacob Valdez (Canyon Lake) stood out from the rest to capture the Boy's Division title.
