Just read that Jamie Beauchesne ran 2 @ 43 off on Saturday, July 7, 2007 in the semi finals of the Malibu Open in Lacanau France.
In other news, I'm still working on 15 off. :o
Amazing!

Hate to state the obvious, but I assume that means that Malibu now owns the pull of the current record.

Think Parrish will turn up the heat now to get it back?? There were rumblings of him doggin it 2 years ago when he set the record, that he could have done more, but was "pacing" himself. I dont know if thats BS or not.

Yeah. Usually takes a bit for them to get approved. I always thought Jamie had the most unique looking form. Makes those snow skiing turns.

Yes Jaime is sponsored by Tige. But I think he was meaning that the Malibu now holds the record because it was done at the malibu open.

So does anyone know for sure what boat he was behind for the record? I assumed Bu but I guess Tige was an approved boat there as well. I assume he would pick the Tige if given a choice since he was sponsered by them.

To answer my own question the record was set behind a 2006 Bu Response

My bad it was a regular closed bow Response. you can clearly see the lettering and the closed bow in that video. The approval is good for two years so a 2006 is still World Record approved.

My bad it was a regular closed bow Response. Apparently there were no newer boats or LXis available in Europe. The approval is good for two years so a 2006 is still World Record approved.
Does AWSA approval even matter in Europe?

Keep telling yourself that. 2006 Bu's were not metric. This was a problem in Europe.
Any records set in the year 2006 with a 2006 Year model boat were upheld after review by the world governing body, but would have an asterisk in the books. any record runs with 2006 boats after 2006 are no longer considered.

So they don't have official video of him going through the gates is why the run is not good?

I think USAWS requires an end of course video to certify the record. I can't recall if the tape ran out or what, but for whatever reason, there was no end of course video and, therefore, the record wasn't approved. Bummer.

Wow, that is a harsh one to deal with. I did watch the video of 2 ball and it was a pretty good save. I'm no expert but I think he was only trying to get 2 and get out, which he did.
Unfortunately for JB, the video is needed to verify that the boat path stayed within tolerance. No video, no record.

Parrish Sets Pending World Record
Posted by: usawsOn: 06/14/2010 10:11:12In: Water Skiing
U.S. water ski athlete Chris Parrish set a pending men's world slalom record of 2 buoys at 43 feet off on Sunday at the Ski Ranch June Tour 2 in Covington, La. If approved by the International Waterski & Wakeboard Federation's Technical Committee, the score will surpass the current world record of 1-1/2 buoys at 43 feet off that Parrish set in 2005.
On Saturday, 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 Sunday morning. "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."

i was hoping to see Parrish's kitty under the covers but instead we saw his dog. Nice skiing too.
Thanks for posting the video.
DAMN - now I understand why he's the best. Never really seen him ski....super smooth and strong skiiing!
I understand that Dave Goode shot that video. Wish I had seen it in person. If even my opening pass looked anywhere near as easy as CP's 39 does, I'd be one happy skier!
Congrats Mister Parrish!!!!
Last time he set the world record, he bettered that record a few weeks later with a 197 8p

I was at the tournament when Parrish broke the record. I drove the "L" portion of the event and was able to watch the Open divisions. Considering how much effort was generated to just GET to 2 ball, I don't think this record will be going down anytime soon. He ran 1.5 @43 twice on Saturday but couldn't hold onto the slack to get a full "2". We discussed the strategy w/ Chris on Saturday night and he came up w/ a way to minimize the slack and hold on for the record. Now, someone (Parrish included), will have to get a piece of 3 ball to break the record. It's a LONG way from 2 to 3 at 43 off!!
