Stop 1 set an insanely high bar for the 2026 season. Stop 2 cleared it. This past weekend, the Pro Wakeboard Tour rolled back into Groveland, Florida, and threw out the rulebook — literally. Every pro division took on a brand new head to head or pass-based format, and the result was some of the most unpredictable, edge-of-your-seat competition Lake David has ever seen.

Bracket battles. Win-or-go-home categories. Riders getting bounced not by a scoreboard, but by another human being standing right next to them on the dock. Stop 2 went down in epic fashion, with unbelievable riding, cutthroat battles, and a whole lot of fun woven through it all.

If you missed the format breakdown going into the weekend or want a refresher on how each division was structured, check out our full preview here. And if you want to relive the whole event blow-by-blow, the full live stream replay has you covered.

Here’s how it all shook out.

Pro Men Wakeboard: Nic Rapa Wins the Bracket Battle

Coming into Stop 2, Cory Teunissen sat atop the Pro Men standings off his Stop 1 win, with Daniel Johnson, Nic Rapa, Guenther Oka, Tyler Higham, and Camden Marsden all chasing points behind him. But the new 16-rider head to head bracket format threw the script out entirely — this weekend wasn’t about who could land the single best run of the day, it was about who could win two categories out of three, matchup after matchup, all the way to the final.

And the rider who navigated that bracket the best was Nic Rapa.

After taking third at Lake David in Stop 1, Rapa turned in a statement performance at Stop 2, stringing together three-trick lines, best-trick attempts, and double ups with the kind of consistency that head to head brackets are made for. Every round was win-or-go-home, and Rapa kept finding a way to take 2 out of 3 categories when it mattered most, capping it off with a dominant final score of 94.3 to take the win. Fynn Bullock rode a strong bracket run of his own to land in the runner-up spot with an 86.7, while the battle for the final podium spot came down to the 3rd/4th bracket, where Sam Brown edged out Tyler Higham, 73.3 to 71.0, to claim third.

With the bracket format putting a premium on category-by-category execution rather than one perfect run, Stop 2 proved that the men’s field is as deep and dangerous as ever — and that on any given weekend, the standings can flip in a heartbeat.

  1. Nic Rapa – 94.3 🥇
  2. Fynn Bullock – 86.7 🥈
  3. Sam Brown – 73.3 🥉

Pro Women Wakeboard: Euge De Armas Takes the Title

The Pro Women’s division carried massive momentum into Stop 2 after its historic Stop 1 debut, where Meagan Ethell claimed the inaugural win with Euge De Armas taking second and Zahra Kell rounding out the podium. This time around, the women stepped into their own head to head bracket for the first time — three trick lines, “less than 5” lines, and single best trick attempts, all decided category by category rather than by score.

It was Euge De Armas who came out on top.

After finishing runner-up at Lake David’s Stop 1, De Armas flipped the script at Stop 2, out-dueling the field through every round of the bracket to close out the final with a 93.3. The “less than 5” category in particular opened the door for serious strategy this weekend, and De Armas used it to her advantage, mixing consistency with high-difficulty tricks to keep winning the categories that counted. Giulia Castelli put together an impressive run of her own to take second at 86.3, and the 3rd/4th round saw Mackenzie McCarthy post a huge 90.7 to claim third over Nacha Holscher’s 71.7.

With the level of riding on display and the format demanding new levels of consistency, the Pro Women’s division continues to prove it’s here to stay — and that the depth of talent at the top is only getting deeper.

  2. Giulia Castelli – 86.3 🥈
  3. Mackenzie McCarthy – 90.7 🥉

Pro Wakesurf: Jett Lambert Goes Back-to-Back

The Wakesurf division swapped out its usual format for something built around quality over quantity at Stop 2 — one run, two passes, five tricks max per pass, with transitions and combos taken out of the equation entirely. It was a format designed to let the sport’s most stylish surfers slow down and let every trick breathe, and the riders delivered exactly that.

Once again, it was Jett Lambert standing at the top of the podium.

Lambert took the win at Stop 1 with a dominant scoreline, and the new pass-based format did nothing to slow him down at Stop 2, closing out the final with a huge 96.3. Riding with the same clean, controlled style that made him nearly untouchable at Lake David the first time around, Lambert made the most of both passes, linking together standout tricks while staying patient within the new five-trick limit. Dylan Matthews put together a strong all-around performance to take second at 90.0, Robert McClelland rounded out the podium in third with a 76.0, and Beaux Wildman finished fourth. It’s back-to-back Wakesurf wins to open the 2026 season for Lambert, and he’s quickly establishing himself as the rider to beat on the surf side of the Tour.

Pro Wakesurf – Stop 2 Results

  1. Jett Lambert – 96.3 🥇
  2. Dylan Matthews – 90.0 🥈
  3. Robert McClelland – 76.0 🥉
  4. Beaux Wildman – 50.7

Jr. Pro Wakeboard: Kane Ward Climbs to the Top

The next generation of the sport brought just as much fire to Lake David as the pros did. After taking second at Stop 1 behind Parka Edwards, Kane Ward closed the gap at Stop 2 and claimed the Jr. Pro Wakeboard title with a 96.3.

Ward’s win is a serious statement early in the season, throwing down technical, high-scoring runs against a Jr. Pro field that keeps proving the future of wakeboarding is in incredibly good hands. Max Saia pushed him the whole way, taking second with a 94.7, and Rex Abbott climbed onto the podium in third at 92.3 — bumping Stop 1 winner Parka Edwards down to fourth (89.7) this time around. Ezra Oneal and Tyler Byrne rounded out the final in fifth and sixth. Watching the junior heats at Stop 2, it’s clear this division is only going to get more competitive as the season rolls on.

  1. Kane Ward – 96.3 🥇
  2. Max Saia – 94.7 🥈
  3. Rex Abbott – 92.3 🥉
