For the second time, the best wave riders on the planet came together to compete in the three-day Red Bull Wake Open in Florida, USA.

Thirty-six athletes representing seven countries competed in Boat, Big Air and Park disciplines.

In the more traditional Boat discipline the riders were pulled by a speedboat across a lake and attempted tricks by launching off the wake.

Friday's Big Air featured the first ramp-to-ramp feature ever used in American competition and riders were launched up to 50 feet off the kickers.

On Sunday approximately 30,000 spectators came to the Tampa Convention Center to watch the Park category.

Canada's Raphael Derome - the 2012 winner - won both Boat and Park, Bob Soven won Big Air and Aaron Rathy took the overall title.
