Baller ROBOT Posted March 6, 2023 Baller Share Posted March 6, 2023 The #5 ranked skier on the Waterski Pro Tour Leaderboard, Sacha Descuns, has signed on to join the Syndicate Team. Sacha explains, “The main reason I am switching ski brands after all these years is the Syndicate Works 01 ski itself. In one word, it’s efficient. It’s always where it needs to be, giving me the right amount of angle and speed, while improving my transition from the 2nd wake to the buoy.” Sacha goes on, “The Syndicate is composed of passionate, dedicated, and skillful people. They do their best to help us skiers achieve our goals. I’m proud to become part of a ski and development team so high performing and full of talent.” As one of the only skiers to ever run into 43’off/36mph (9.75m/58k), Sacha has already claimed titles and stood on many podiums in his young career. His pro breakout came in 2018-2019, where he won titles at the 2018 European Championships, 2018 French Malibu Open and 2019 Mapple Pro-Am. In his last 3 healthy seasons, he racked up 12 more Pro tournament podiums. After a resurgent 2022, he currently sits 5th place on the Waterski Pro Tour Leaderboard. “We are thrilled to welcome Sacha Descuns to the Syndicate Pro Team. Sacha’s style and prowess on the water have led him to heights few have ever reached on a water ski. We’re excited to see what he can unleash on a Syndicate.” said Marketing Director John Mommer. Sacha joins a pro team stacked with both the current Mens and Womens Pro Tour Champions and 5 more ranked in the top 15. As Syndicate team skiers, they’re highly involved in the development of new Syndicate Waterski products. Keep your eyes peeled for Sacha’s 2023 season debut on his new Syndicate Works 01 ski. More About Sacha: Hailing from Lourdes, a little town in the south of France, Sacha spent his childhood between lakes slalom skiing in the summers and snow skiing in the mountains for the winters. His passion for precision tuning stems from another obsession, motorsports. Sacha taught himself to fix, upgrade and tune rally-cars and motorbikes. If not for skiing, Sacha maintains that his time would surely be fixed in motorsports. One of only a small number of skiers ever to run the 41’off/36mph pass in a tournament, Descuns is a podium favorite every time he enters an event. After stellar 2018 and 2019 seasons, pro career was paused due to injury and the covid pandemic. His resurgent 2022 season was led by 2nd at the San Gervasio Pro-Am, 3rd at Fungliss Pro, 3rd at UK’s The Duel, and 3rd at the European Championships.

Administrators Horton Posted March 7, 2023 Administrators Share Posted March 7, 2023 I think Sacha is an under rated skier. It will be interesting to see how his season goes. 1 Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes ★ Baller Video Coaching System Become a Supporting Member or make a One-time Donation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, John. If his back leaves him alone and his mindset is strong, let's see what this new ski brings him for the season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably cheaper to sponsor younger and less established names. If one athlete pops and makes it big the ROI is big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably "free" sponsorship is so loosely thrown around now, getting hooked up with free gear is what most of the young ones get, I cant speak for anyone of course, but it builds the brand loyalty early which is a smart move for sure. 3 Performance Ski and Surf Mike@perfski.com 👾 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
