145 water skiers have just set a new world record for exactly that: the most people to water ski behind one vessel. Nine fell off along the way, and won’t be counted as part of the record.
A total of 154 people from all over the world set off on the record attempt to ski a full nautical mile inside Australia’s Macquarie Harbour in Strahan, Tasmania.
Nine fell off, and probably got laughed at.
But despite this, the other 145 people who remained on their skis, were enough to beat the previous record of 114 set by the same team.
They used a 114 foot motor yacht, which normally takes tourists on tours of the area, but had it specially modified with different propellers and a 308 foot aluminium boom to prevent skiers’ ropes from becoming tangled.
The organisers said five miles of ski rope was used for the new record, which The Guinness Book of Records is expected to officially recognise within the next few months.
