The event was the first of its kind to be held in Canadian waters
Some of the world’s best water sports enthusiasts wowed crowds at the first-ever nautical regatta to be hosted at Kelowna’s Eldorado Resort.
People and professionals rode wake, surf and foil rides at the first Canadian event. Some spectators watched from the Eldorado docks while others sat in the front row and watched from their boats.
