Move Of The Year (2025) USA Water Ski & Wake Sports
Premiered at the USA-WSWS Awards Banquet on Jan 31, 2026. This is a new award created last year to help push the sport and recognize top performances. It could be a world record, clutch competition moment, or just a trick you landed out on the lake one day. Flyman Skis put up $500 for the winner and the pot was doubled for a split decision.
Congrats to Connor Poggetto with the longest seated adaptive jump of all time for a World Record of 94 feet at the IWWF Adaptive Worlds.
Ethan Shulda is sharing this year’s title with Connor. Ethan landed the world’s first mobe rewind. This is a one-ski wrapped, full twisting back flip with a rewind to backwards landing.
For a grand finale at the USA-WSWS Awards Banquet, this video played to the audience of 225 at Camp Margaritaville in Auburndale, FL on Jan. 31, 2026. The crowd (who were helping judge the clips with their response) was electric.
Much love to all the athletes who pushed the sport ahead and found a new level.
