Here’s all you need to know about the 2024 water ski season, including the major event calendar for this year.
Last year’s calendar was brimming with Waterski Pro Tour slalom events, and this year is poised to follow suit. Nate Smith and Freddie Winter led the pack on the men’s side, while Jaimee Bull, Regina Jaquess, and Whitney McClintock Rini engaged in an epic season-long battle for the women’s title.
While all the details are yet to be finalized, there are currently 13 events registered with the Pro Tour for the 2024 season. Among these events, 11 will feature slalom skiing, 5 jump, and 2 tricks. The season kicks off in America in the spring, followed by a tightly packed European leg through June and July, before heading back to the states to close out the season.
Beyond the Pro Tour, the legacy majors – Moomba and U.S. Masters – will continue to be major attractions, showcasing all three events and wakeboarding. Additionally, another non-Pro Tour Nautique event, the Botaski ProAm, will feature slalom and tricking during the European leg.
Details have also been finalized for the WWS Overall Tour in 2024, with another series of four professional overall tournaments set to take place across North America and Europe.
In summary, we anticipate a very busy season spanning four continents, with hundreds of thousands in prize money up for grabs.
