Malibu ProAm Water Ski Tournament in Atlanta

Malibu Boats has once again expanded their support for tournament water skiing and is proud to introduce the all-new Malibu ProAm Water Ski Tournament in Atlanta, Georgia. The ProAm slalom format, which will be towed exclusively by the Malibu RESPONSE TXi, is returning to WaterSki Atlanta and Princeton Lake in southwest Atlanta. This will be the third consecutive year that top professional water skiers from around the world as well as nationally ranked amateur water skiers from across the nation will compete side by side in Atlanta over Memorial Weekend from May 24-26, 2014.

Four different divisions totaling 78 skiers will compete over Memorial weekend with hopes to reach the finals on Memorial Day, Monday May 26^th. The professional skiers will compete for cash prizes while the amateurs fight to improve their national rank and compete against their current AWSA average score.

More information about how to enter the Malibu ProAm is located at the Malibu ProAm Information web site and entries are being accepted now. Only 24 Amateur, 12 Master Men, and 40 Open entries will be accepted, so mail your entry early to reserve your slot.

Competitive slalom skiing requires skiers to navigate around six buoys on the water at various speeds depending on the division. After a successful completion through the slalom course, the ski rope is shortened by pre-determined lengths, making it increasingly difficult to ski around all six buoys. The buoys are 37½ feet wide of the boat, forcing skiers to generate speeds up to 60 M.P.H. and use their body length, reach and sheer determination to get around the buoys at the shorter rope lengths.

The Malibu ProAm is a family event that all ages can enjoy and is FREE to the general public. Food and beverage vendors will be on site throughout the three-day competition.
