The final results from the 2011 Centurion Boats World Wake Surfing Championships are in. The event that took place Friday, September 23 and Saturday, September 24 at the BlueWater Casino and Resort in Parker, Arizona was one for the record books.

The divisions for the event included Pro Surf Women, Pro Surf Men, Masters Women, Masters Men, Amateur Skim Women, Pro Skim Women, Pro Skim Men, Amateur Skim Men, Amateur Surf Women, and Amateur Surf Men.

Centurion Boats Team rider and 4-time World Champion Bri Chmel was able to outperform veteran Caroline Villeneuve and new rider Meredith Kurysh to claim the Pro Skim Women division title.
