Vice President of International Business – Ian Birdsall comments:

“This six year agreement to partner the IWWF and MasterCraft in all world titled Wakeboard and Water Ski events is a tremendous opportunity to continue the growth of these sports Worldwide, and is a fitting follow on to our support, from the very beginning, of the World Cup of Water Ski and Wakeboard, now in its sixth year”

“This long term commitment will make it possible for Water Ski Federations, and competitive skiers and Wakeboarders around the world to be confident in the knowledge that the most important and prestigious events will be pulled by the very best in towboat performance and technology, and give them the opportunity to train behind exactly the same boat they know they will ultimately be competing behind. With this in mind we will be producing “World Championship” editions of our Pro Star and X-Star models that will be available for purchase by official federations and clubs throughout the world.”

So you think you go big?  Maybe you are kind of a big deal on your lake…  Well here is the real deal.  Freddy Krueger sets a new world record at McCormicks.  247 feet.

The same thought crosses many people’s mind.  “Hey I could probably do that with some practice.”  Well you are wrong.  I challenge you to ride behind a New MasterCraft Boat @ 75 feet and whip yourself into a solid floating object at over 75 MPH.  Still want to take the challenge?
