ORLANDO, FL (June 4, 2026) – Team Nautique athlete Neilly Ross has rewritten the record books once again, setting a new Open Women Tricks World Record for the third time in her career with a score of 11,480 points behind the all-new Ski Nautique. The record was set at the Sunset Lakes Eyetrick Invitational event in Groveland, FL and has been approved by the International Waterski and Wakeboard Federation (IWWF).
“The all-new Ski Nautique is already proving itself nonstop at every competition that it tows, and I am beyond excited to have set a World Record of 11,480 points behind it!” Said Team Nautique athlete Neilly Ross. “The redesigned Ski Nautique is the result of a collaborative effort between Team Nautique athletes, ambassadors, and the engineering team, all united by a singular focus on maximizing performance. The results speak for themselves! Setting a world record is the culmination of relentless work and a lifetime of devotion to becoming the very best I can be. I am thrilled that Nautique shares this philosophy.”
Following her record-setting performance, Ross carried her momentum into the 66th Nautique Masters Water Ski and Wakeboard Tournament presented by GM Marine, where she earned a third-place finish in the Pro Women’s Trick division. Ross now sets her sights on the inaugural Nautique Water Ski World Series, where she will compete in both Slalom and Trick divisions as she looks to build on an already historic start to 2026.
“Neilly’s ability to continually set new standards is something special and seeing her deliver a new world record for the third time is an incredible moment for her and our entire Nautique family.” Said Nautique President Greg Meloon. “Her commitment to excellence is inspiring, and we’re proud to deliver the incredible Ski Nautique as the foundation for performances like these.”
