Team Malibu Jumps to World Cup Win

Malibu Boats (@MalibuBoats) congratulates June Fladborg (@JuneFladborg) on a stellar Waterski & Wakeboard World Cup performance. June rose to the top of the podium with a jump of 158.5 feet (48.3m). Putrajaya, Malaysia saw this Danish Team Malibu Jumper become the highest flying woman at the 2009 World Cup event. What a great way to end the season!

IWWF described the women's jump finals this way. "In the Women's Finals, Denmark's June Fladborg was first in to the arena. Having already taken both Australia's Moomba Masters and US Masters titles this year, she desperately wanted to finish on a World Cup high. Her opening score of 48.3m immediately set a new Course Record !  World Overall Cable Jump Champion, Iryna Turets BLR, got close with 45.5m. Now it was all down to Marion Mathieu FRA who  came second behind Fladborg in the Moomba Masters. With a distance of 48.1m, she was also second to Fladborg again in Putrajaya. This was a perfect World Cup conclusion for June Fladborg."

JUMP WINNERS - Women
1. (DEN) June Fladborg - 48.3m
2. (FRA) Marion Mathieu - 48.1m
3. (BLR) Iryna Turets - 46.5m

You've worked hard for this June! We couldn't be happier for your success this year. Your Malibu Boats Family is extremely proud of you!

Jodi Fisher GBR, World Cup 2008 season overall winner, was the first to reach the 10.75m line / 39off with a score of one buoy. However 34 year-old Slalom specialist Nick Parsons from Utah USA was in a league of his own. His score of 2.5 buoys on the 10.75m line took the title - ahead of Jodi Fisher and JB Faisy.
