The Loreto College Year 8 student wrapped up a highly successful season by taking out a Victorian title at Lake Eildon.
Plumridge dominated her age group.
She also took out the two rounds of the Australian Open at Canberra and Murray Bridge, but the undoubted highlight was her first national championship earlier this month.
She was crowned Australia’s best in the girls’ 10-14-year category on the Gold Coast.
Plumridge, 13, took up wakeboarding four years ago and travels with family members to Echuca each weekend during the summer to train.
Plumridge said she enjoyed the challenges of the sport and opportunities to learn new skills, as well the travel and chance to meet a range of people.
With the season now over, she will turn her focus to other pastimes netball and gymnastics.
