First of all, 2021 world championships will take place on one of the most prestigious and beautiful lakes of the world: Jack Travers Sunset Lakes in Groveland, Florida. This lake is known for being one of the best in the world and delivers perfect conditions for skiers. Despite two last worlds edition in Paris (2017) and Putrajaya (2019) where conditions were challenging for different reasons like weather, backwash and tide. Sunset Lakes are made for waterskiing. Every single inch of the lake is shaped to fit the sport. Many of the best athletes of the sport live nearby and know this site perfectly.

No excuses this year, if you want to shine, you have to bring your A game and push it to the maximum! According to the ongoing Waterski Pro Tour, skiers are in shape in all three events and the show is promised to be awesome!

JUMP

Ballers! A jumper usually has a part of craziness somehow. Every time they go hit the ramp, it is dangerous. Obviously, if you bring the best jumper out there on a lake that is hand man cut for helping jumpers to fly far + a world champion title at the end of the landing. You can expect some cray things!

2x Overall world champion Pipe knows to do every thing. Especially jump!

OVERALL

Overall is tough. It is way harder than you can imagine. You have to train 3 times more than the others. At least. You think you can miss an event because you have another shot in one of the other: WRONG! The field is so highly skilled out there, you have to get every bite of buoy you can, every points possible on your trick ski and grab that extra inch in jump, that can put you on top of the podium at the end. Because, nothing is done until the last jumper of the dock has landed. That's all the beauty of the discipline. And that make you the most complete skier in the world.
