The International Waterski & Wakeboard Federation's Technical Committee has ratified U.S. water ski athlete Chris Parrish's pending men's world slalom record of 2 buoys at 43 feet off set on June 13 at the Ski Ranch June Tour 2 in Covington, La. The record surpasses the old world record of 1-1/2 buoys at 43 feet off that Parrish set in 2005.
On June 12, Parrish recorded scores of 4-1/2 buoys at 41 feet off and 1-1/2 buoys at 43 feet off (twice) before posting the 2 at 43 off mark on June13. "I wanted this record bad," said Parrish, who set the new record behind the Ski Nautique 200. "I spent the entire week at the Ski Ranch getting dialed in. I had been skiing out of my mind so it felt great to be able to put everything together on Sunday."
