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."
