Karina Nowlan (AUS) scores 1 buoy on 10.25m line Just a few minutes ago at the last Stop of the 2008 MasterCraft ProTour in California, World Cup star Karina Nowlan (AUS) scored 1 buoy on the 10.25m line / 41 off to tie the World Slalom Record set back in September 1996 by Kristi Overton Johnson (USA). The fact that she reached the 10.75m line/ 39 off three times on the same day gives a clear indication that we may well see a new World Record as soon as the water conditions allow. Congratulations Karina from all the World Cup Team. The next WATERSKI Stop in the 2008 World Cup series will be on November 7/9 in Putrajaya Malaysia. The next WAKEBOARD Stop will be in Singapore on October 10/12.
