Erika Lang’s World Record Approved!

Congratulations to our own Erika Lang on her new World Record in Women’s Trick!

The International Waterski & Wakeboard Federation’s Tournament Council announced today that it has approved U.S. water ski athlete Erika Lang’s pending women’s world tricks record of 10,180 points. Lang, of Gilbert, Ariz., set the record on Oct. 12 at the Imperial Lakes Skiers Choice Record in El Centro, Calif.

The score eclipses the record of 10,040 points held by France’s Clementine Lucine, which was set at the Alexis Pickos Open in Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., on Sept. 18, 2011.
