I stood up the last five rounds of competition in 2024, and all of them were right on the edge of moving the needle further – I feel really fortunate with the way things came together. I can’t wait for more opportunities behind the Ski Nautique in 2025!”

Neilly’s World Record performances are a testament to her unwavering skill and dedication after 15 years of experience in the sport. Having already shattered boundaries, she now sets her sights on a new challenge – pushing women’s trick over the 12,000-point barrier.
