Nautique Athletes Honored at USA Water Ski & Wake Sports Banquet

ORLANDO, FL (February 5, 2026) – Nautique athletes were recognized among the sport’s elite at the 2026 USA Water Ski & Wake Sports Awards Banquet, an evening celebrating excellence, dedication, and passion across competitive watersports. USA Water Ski & Wake Sports presented more than 50 awards spanning nine different disciplines, honoring a diverse group of lifelong volunteers, collegiate athletes, and professional competitors in front of over 220 attendees.

Team Nautique athlete and current Women’s Slalom World Record holder Regina Jaquess was one of the evening’s most celebrated honorees, earning five of the sport’s top distinctions: American Water Ski Association Team of the Year, Female Slalom Skier of the Year, and Female Athlete of the Year as well as USA Water Ski & Wake Sports Team of the Year and Female Athlete of the Year. This marks Jaquess’ 18th time receiving the USA-WSWS Athlete of the Year award and her sixth time taking the AWSA Female Slalom Skier of the Year title - an extraordinary testament to her sustained excellence and dominance at the highest level of competition.

“It’s so special to win these awards, and it just gets more meaningful each time around,” said Team Nautique athlete, Regina Jaquess. “Training and competing behind a Nautique enables me to continue to pursue my on-water goals, including making it easier to achieve my ultimate goal of running a complete pass at 41’ off. 2026 could be my year to move that slalom goal post in record competition.  All I need is ONE MORE buoy and my Nautique is poised to make that happen.”

Also representing Team Nautique, current Women’s Trick World Record holder Erika Lang was honored as the American Water Ski Association Female Trick Skier of the Year, recognizing her consistency and influence within the sport.

“Being chosen as the AWSA Female Trick Skier of the Year is such an honor,” said Team Nautique athlete, Erika Lang. “2025 was an incredible year for me, breaking the world record for the seventh time and winning the Nautique Masters as well as the Nautique Moomba Masters. I couldn’t have achieved this without training behind the Ski Nautique’s consistent and clean wakes every single day. Pushing myself to redefine what’s possible on the water is what drives me to work hard, and I can’t wait for the 2026 season!”

Rounding out the list of Nautique honorees, Team Nautique athlete Charlie Ross received the National Collegiate Water Ski Association Male Athlete of the Year award, highlighting his standout performances and leadership within collegiate waterskiing.

“I’m incredibly honored to receive the NCWSA Collegiate Athlete of the Year award,” said Team Nautique athlete, Charlie Ross. “Collegiate skiing has truly been the experience of a lifetime - some of my best college memories were made competing alongside my teammates and building lifelong friendships at collegiate events. I’m extremely grateful to my Rollins College teammates, Coach Marc, and the Rollins College Athletic Department for their constant support. I’d also like to thank my sponsors - Nautique Boats, D3 Skis, Sixth Turn Capital, Winter Garden Waterski, Muskoka 365, and Masterline - for making this season possible. It was an amazing year of collegiate skiing, and I’m excited for what’s ahead.”

With last season’s top talent honored, the focus shifts to what lies ahead as the world’s best athletes prepare to chase new milestones and historic achievements, led by the highly anticipated debut of the Nautique Water Ski World Series - where the future of the sport will be defined at the highest level.

“Regina, Erika, and Charlie exemplify the core expecations of Nautique - relentless pursuit of excellence, passion for their craft, and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on the water,” said Nautique President, Greg Meloon. “We are incredibly proud of how they represent our brand and inspire the next generation of watersports athletes.”

Nautique Announces Exciting New Partnership with Predator Bay Water Ski Club

ORLANDO, FL (November 19, 2025) – Nautique Boat Company is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with Predator Bay Water Ski Club, one of Canada’s premier destinations for competitive and recreational water skiing. 
 
Founded in 1997, Predator Bay Water Ski Club has built a reputation for creating a welcoming environment where skiers of all ages and abilities can come together to celebrate the joy of water skiing. Nestled alongside two of Canada’s most stunning man-made ski lakes, Predator Bay serves as a hub for both recreational and elite athletes, hosting prestigious national and international competitions that showcase top-tier talent and inspire future generations.
 
The meaningful history between Predator Bay and Nautique adds a special significance to this partnership. In 2009, Nautique, alongside the legendary Andy Mapple, unveiled the groundbreaking Ski Nautique 200 for the first time at Predator Bay. Since then, the club has continued to make history, successfully hosting three World Championships pulled by the record-breaking Ski Nautique, including the 2009 Open World Water Ski Championships, the 2024 Under 17 World Water Ski Championships, and the 2025 Under 17 World Water Ski Championships.
 
As part of this new collaboration, the Ski Nautique will now be the exclusive towboat at Predator Bay, further reinforcing the club’s commitment to excellence and world-class performance. In addition, Predator Bay will debut an exciting new event, the Rocky Mountain ProAm, in the upcoming 2026 season.

“The Predator Bay Water Ski Club is thrilled to announce a new partnership with Nautique and Wizard Lake Marine beginning in the 2026 season and beyond,” said Suzanne Velcic, President of Predator Bay Water Ski Club. “This exciting relationship will bring not only the latest Ski Nautique boats to Predator Bay but also the launch of a brand-new event - the Rocky Mountain Pro-Am. The overwhelming support and enthusiasm shown during the 2025 U21World Championships have inspired the club to keep pushing the sport forward.”

This partnership marks a meaningful step forward in the shared mission of both organizations: to grow three-event waterskiing, nurture the next generation of athletes, and empower skiers of all abilities to find passion in the sport while refining their skills to reach their greatest potential.
 
“Predator Bay Water Ski Club is a cornerstone of the water ski community, and we’re honored to join forces,” said Greg Meloon, President of Nautique Boat Company. “Together, we’re not just supporting today’s athletes - we’re investing in the future of the sport.”
