Monty Bruell Pioneers Chattanooga As Venue For International Wakeboarding Tour Wednesday, January 20, 2021
Chattanooga may secure a multi-year commitment as a venue for a professional wakeboarding competition circuit taking place this upcoming summer.
Mayoral candidate Monty Bruell invited Supra Boats Wakeboard Tour to visit Chattanooga Tuesday afternoon in an effort to create economic opportunities utilizing downtown’s natural resources.
“We have almost 20 miles of the Tennessee River flowing right through the middle of town,” Mr. Bruell said. “Very few cities can compete with Chattanooga, because our downtown has such convenient access to water.”
Organizers of the wakesurf competition examined Chattanooga’s riverfront by boat to test the quality of the wake. The Chattanooga Sports Commission was present to discuss a potential partnership and expand the city’s current sports tourism offering.
