Official Nautique Press Release:
ORLANDO, FL (August 25, 2026) - Just two months after setting the Open Women Trick World Record with 11,560 points at the Sunset Cup in Groveland, Florida, Team Nautique athlete Erika Lang made history once again, setting a new Open Women Trick World Record of 11,710 points at the first stop of the inaugural Nautique Water Ski World Series – the Botaski ProAm presented by GM Marine. Officially approved by the International Waterski and Wakeboard Federation (IWWF), this record marks the ninth World Record of Erika’s career.
“I am so excited to have broken another World Record,” said Team Nautique athlete Erika Lang. “I had just found out that my previous World Record had been approved, so I was feeling confident heading into the event. The Ski Nautique has been a key factor in helping me achieve my success, allowing me to trick faster and complete more tricks within the time limit than ever before. I’m excited for the rest of the Nautique Water Ski World Series and to see how much further I can push my score.”
With two stops complete and three still to come, Erika currently sits third in the Nautique Water Ski World Series standings, just behind fellow Team Nautique athletes Neilly Ross and Anna Hunter. With these three elite athletes continuing to battle for the top spot, the remainder of the season promises plenty of high scores and record-breaking performances behind the Ski Nautique.
“Erika’s performance is a reflection of the exceptional talent competing in the Nautique Water Ski World Series,” said Nautique President, Greg Meloon. “We’ve witnessed history at each stop of the inaugural series, and as we look ahead to the California ProAm Tournament, we have high expectations of record setting performances on the water.”
