The International Waterski & Wakeboard Federation’s Tournament Council has ratified U.S. athlete Jake Abelson’s pending world tricks record of 12,970 points. The record was set on May 10 at the Masters Qualifying Series 1 on Lake Ledbetter in Winter Garden, Fla.
The mark surpasses Abelson's own world record of 12,720 points, which he achieved on April 28 at the Ski Fluid Classic at Lake Grew in Polk City, Fla.
Abelson’s achievement is particularly notable as it not only sets a new benchmark for the Open Men’s category but also becomes the world tricks record for Under 17 Boys and Under 21 Men. Once again, the new world record was pulled behind the Ski Nautique.
