Flow Tour 2026 – Stop #4 | Ogden, Utah
July 10th & 11th

It’s been a few years in the making, but in 2026 we finally brought two Flow Tour stops to Texas. As the saying goes, everything is bigger in Texas, and the City of Little Elm certainly didn’t disappoint with the inaugural FlowFest at The Cove at The Lakefront.

The venue immediately set itself apart with a massive LED screen behind the FlowRider, allowing spectators and competitors to follow the live stream while keeping up with real-time scores through the STACT app. Riders always knew exactly where they stood, creating an exciting atmosphere throughout the weekend. Off the wave, there was no shortage of things to do, with great local restaurants, a beautiful lakefront, and even a nearby cable park where several riders spent time wakeboarding between competition days.

The community exceeded every expectation, welcoming 70 competitors from across the United States, along with one international rider who traveled from Windsor, Canada. Riders represented nearly every corner of Texas, making the event a true statewide gathering and a fantastic debut for the Flow Tour in Little Elm.

One of the biggest highlights of the weekend was the Youth division, which showcased the future of our sport. While the Flow Tour has traditionally seen its largest participation in the Junior division (17 & under), this contest the Youth division (12 & under) stole the show with an incredible turnout and an impressive level of riding. Watching the next generation push the sport forward was one of the most exciting moments of the event.

Behind the scenes, the FlowRider Inc. team kept the competition running smoothly moving riders through heats, conducting interviews, managing the live stream, and judging the action. Over the course of two days, the event featured 45 heats spanning Amateur through Professional divisions.

A huge thank you goes to the City of Little Elm and The Cove at The Lakefront for rolling out the red carpet and believing in the vision of bringing another premier Flow Tour stop to Texas. Their hospitality and support made the inaugural FlowFest an unforgettable success.
