Erika Lang Sets Eighth World Record Behind the Ski Nautique

ORLANDO, FL (June 24, 2026) – Team Nautique athlete Erika Lang continued in her pursuit of progression, scoring 11,560 points behind the Ski Nautique at the Sunset Cup in Groveland, FL to set a new Open Women Tricks World Record! Officially approved by the International Waterski and Wakeboard Federation (IWWF), this record marks the eighth World Record of Lang’s career. 

“I’m incredibly excited to have set a world record behind the Ski Nautique,” said Team Nautique Athlete Erika Lang. “Breaking my previous record has been a major goal and achieving it this early in the season feels unreal. The Ski Nautique delivers the clean, reliable wakes I need to approach every trick with confidence and perform at my best.”

Lang’s record-setting performance comes at the perfect time with the Botaski Pro Am, the first event of the inaugural Nautique Water Ski World Series, on the horizon. As the reigning World Record holder in Open Women Tricks, Lang is poised to play a major role in what promises to be a standout debut season for the series.

"Eight World Records is an extraordinary achievement, but what impresses me most about Erika is her relentless pursuit of progression," said Greg Meloon, President of Nautique Boat Company. "At Nautique, we share that same drive to keep pushing forward, advancing what's possible in three-event tournament waterskiing. We're incredibly proud of Erika and excited to support her as she continues to shape the future of the sport."

Nautique Boats Introduces the All-New 2027 Super Air Nautique S-Series

ORLANDO, FL (June 9, 2026)

Introducing the All-New Super Air Nautique S23 and S25 

  • All-New Hull Design
  • Optimized Helm Experience
  • Elevated Interior 
  • Sub-Floor Supplemental Ballast & Expanded Communicating Storage
  • All-New Features

Nautique Boat Company is proud to introduce the completely redesigned 2027 Super Air Nautique S-Series. The all-new 23-foot S23 and 25-foot S25 are a confident statement of intent – crafted to deliver the most complete Nautique experience to date. Guided by a philosophy that is unmistakably made for more, the S-Series unites heritage and innovation in a way that feels both timeless and progressive. Every element has been thoughtfully refined to offer greater capability, elevated comfort, heightened craftsmanship, and more opportunity on the water. The result is a series that never asks you to compromise, while delivering performance, luxury, versatility, and design in perfect balance.

From an entirely new hull design engineered to produce crisp, consistent wakes and the most versatile, high-performance surf wave to date, to an interior designed with elevated comfort, intuitive functionality, and expanded storage space, the S-Series adapts to every kind of day out on the water. It creates room for beginners to build confidence, for experienced riders to push further, and for everyone on board to feel completely at home.

The S-Series is not defined by a single strength, but by how seamlessly it brings them all together. More memories. More connection. More time spent doing what you love. 

All-New Hull Design 
Rooted in over a century of innovation and the proven DNA of the award-winning G-Series, the all-new S-Series hull design honors Nautique’s performance heritage while advancing confidently into the future of wake and wave capability.

Wakeboarders benefit from a crisp, predictable wake that supports progression, while surfers enjoy a more natural surf wave with a clean, wide face and a smooth transition from crest to trough. This delivers plenty of room to play around with extra forgiveness that comes with a large pocket – giving beginners more time to recover and build confidence while still providing the performance needed to progress into advanced riding. 

From an aesthetic design standpoint, the S-Series hull design draws on the confidence of legacy models, reimagined into a more contemporary silhouette. Bold forward shoulders convey strength and precision, echoing the craftsmanship that defines the Nautique line-up, tracing back to the first-generation G-Series. The shoulder feature lines are drawn aft, giving the S-Series a longer, lower, and more streamlined profile on the water, and the overall composition is forward-leaning in stance, communicating motion, power, and intent - even at idle.

Optimized Helm Experience 
The helm aboard the all-new S-Series has been upgraded to offer an optimized driving experience. The LINC Panoray Touchscreen delivers a highly intuitive and centralized interface, and the updated Helm Command™ now features a dedicated stereo knob and a wireless charging phone mount to parallel the G and P-Series models. The all-new, ergonomically designed Steering Assist Throttle Control allows for precise steering adjustments without removing your hand from the throttle, and the industry-leading helm seat - now available with an actuated upgrade - ensures maximum comfort with multi-directional adjustability. 

The redesigned hoodless dashboard offers a more elevated, refined look and feel with improved storage and easier access to essential controls; the start/stop and horn buttons are now integrated directly into the dash, and the battery switch has been modernized into a convenient push-button located beside the throttle. Rounding out the helm experience, the redesigned S23 and S25 have an optional 360-degree swivel mirror upgrade, providing a clear, panoramic view behind the boat.

Elevated Interior 
The interior of the all-new S-Series has been elevated with a meticulous focus on comfort, craftsmanship, and purposeful design. Carefully curated to reflect the S23 and S25’s bold yet timeless character, the interior carries the exterior design language throughout to create a cohesive, immersive environment. Increased seat foam thickness and redesigned contouring deliver a more supportive, comfortable seating experience, while elevated stitching patterns and refined upholstery detailing enhance the overall sense of craftsmanship. Every surface has been considered to create a more substantial, premium feel from bow to stern.

Sub-Floor Supplemental Ballast and Expanded Communicating Storage
The redesigned S-Series can be equipped with optional supplemental ballast, now housed entirely under the floor. Designed to act as supplemental weight for your crew capacity, this sub-floor ballast strategically places 1,100 and 1,500 additional pounds midship aboard the S23 and S25, respectively, freeing up valuable transom storage space while working in harmony with the hydrodynamics of the all-new hull design to deliver optimal wake and wave performance.

With the supplemental ballast relocated beneath the floor, the transom storage compartments have been reengineered for expanded storage and accessibility. Both side compartments now extend along the gunnel to fit longer wakeboards and surfboards, communicating into under-seat storage to create an intuitive space for all your watersports gear.

All-New Features
Among the numerous upgraded model specific features in the S-Series is the in-floor cooler. The S23 and S25 have adopted the G-Series floorboard, which features an integrated in-floor cooler beside the driver and passenger seating, allowing access to refreshments without asking anyone to leave their seats. This thoughtful redesign also frees up additional under-seat storage and provides easier access to the bilge and drain plug. 

The S-Series also introduces features that are all-new to the entire Nautique line-up: the previously mentioned optional Steering Assist Throttle Control and the optional Manual Swim Terrace. Seamlessly integrated into the underside of the swim platform to preserve a clean, uninterrupted surface above, the Manual Swim Terrace slides out and drops down to provide a wide, sturdy step for confident access to and from the water. For added peace of mind, a built-in sensor will alert the driver if the engine ignites while the Manual Swim Terrace is still deployed.

“The S-Series reflects our commitment to continuous innovation, combining over a century of performance lineage with forward-thinking design to deliver products that adapt to every rider, every experience, and every moment on the water,” said Nautique President, Greg Meloon. “We’re excited for customers to experience this incredible capability firsthand, and understand why the all-new S-Series represents the most complete Nautique Experience we’ve ever offered.”

The all-new 2027 Super Air Nautique S23 and S25 are now available to order through Nautique's global dealer network.

PINE MOUNTAIN, GA (May 24, 2026) – The world’s most elite water ski and wakeboard athletes rose to the occasion on Finals Day at the 66th Nautique Masters Water Ski and Wakeboard Tournament presented by GM Marine, the most prestigious tournament of the year, where a course record shattered and history was rewritten on Robin Lake at Callaway Gardens.
