This recent trip was similar to others I have taken outside the United States; people all over the world are excited about Nautique! No matter where you travel in the world there are watersports enthusiasts who enjoy time with their friends and family on the water....

While I am happy to be going home, I will also miss spending time with an incredible group of Nautique employees who have spent the past four days trying to make a positive difference in our world. This year’s Nautique mission trip to Guatemala follows past tr... Wed, 28 Jul 2010 22:23:00 GMT http://www.nautiques.com/blog/index/guatemala-nautique-cares http://www.nautiques.com/blog/index/nautique-rocks-reno Last week Nautique and the wakeboard world descended upon Reno, Nevada, for the Air Nautique Wakeboard National Championships. It was a great few days as competitors from all over the country competed fiercely behind our Nautique boats for the title of national champion. All of us at Nautique love this event. One of the reasons we enjoy it so much is that the Air Nautique Nationals is a gra...

I hear almost daily about “personal bests” being set behind this new Ski Nautique. We saw records fall at both the Moomba Masters in Australia this past spring and again at the Masters in Georgia last month. Now the biggest record of them all, the world slalom record, pending IWWF approval, ha...

The Masters is consistently the most exciting and prestigious watersports event in the world and this year was no exception. The tone for the weekend was set behind the incredible new Ski Nautique 200, which pulled the skiers to four new Masters records. When you have been holding an event like the Mas...

And, when I say they are one of the country’s top dealers that is not just hyperbole; MacCallum’s is consistently honored by our industry as one of the top dealers in the boating market. You don’t have to talk to Pete MacCallum very long to understand how important his cu...

Over 200 competitors took to the water at OWC, here in Orlando, and you could tell they were enjoying the incredible wake behind both the Super Air Nautique 230 and the Super Air Nautique 210 - Byerly Icon Edition. The boats performed flawlessly which helped the competitors give their best performance for ...

Creating a one of a kind event, Nautique teamed up with Wake Girls to give girls who wanted the opportunity to learn about wakeboarding plus a chance to not only learn from the pros but also ride behind one of our Super Air Nautiques. People in our industry talk all the time abou...

Few people in the water skiing world are better known than Andy, who is arguably the greatest water skier ever. Additionally, few people are more publicly connected to Ski Nautique boats than Andy Mapple. As I have travelled around the world, I often...

We visited during some international waterski and wakeboard events and had the opportunity to meet many people from all over South America that love Nautique boats! In fact, we visited a club, Club Campestre Llanogrande, which owns a Nautique from the 19...

If you are a true golf enthusiast then you know I am writing about the Tavistock Cup. The Tavistock Cup pits the professional golfers from two Orlando communities against each other in a battle for bragging rights and charity.

At Nautique we are fortunate to have someone who has been with us from the beginning and, more importantly, continues to contribute daily; Ralph Meloon, son of our founder who is 92 years old. Ralph comes to the office every day and is a huge encouragement to ...

Miami Nautique International (MNI) is owned by Henrik and Kim Laursen and they do a great job; in fact they are like rock stars in Miami. Recently, I spent three days in Miami Beach...

That’s how I feel, especially after seeing how our team has responded to the recent earthquake in Haiti. Almost immediately after the earthquake, Nautique employees began collecting items to send to Haiti. Our employees wanted to do something to help and it was exciting to see ...

As the new Nautique slider was unveiled the crowd was thrilled to see Team Nautique riders Danny Harf, Shaun Murray, JD Webb, Jimmy LaRiche and Shawn Watson hit it under the lights.
