Nautique Boats Welcomes Regina Jaquess to Team Nautique

ORLANDO, FL (April 15, 2024) – Nautique is thrilled to introduce the current women’s slalom world record holder, Regina Jauqess, as the newest member of the Nautique team. Regina's extraordinary talents and achievements behind the boat throughout her career have established her as one of the most dominant and decorated athletes in the world of women's three-event waterskiing.

“Being in and around the water has been a major part of my life. My parents were competitive skiers and my dad was a Nautique promo boat owner for 17 years, so I grew up learning to ski with the best boat on the planet. I quickly learned what a great community water skiers are and consider all of my ski friends part of our family,” said Team Nautique athlete Regina Jaquess. “Training at Sunset Lakes at an early age allowed me to continue training behind the Ski Nautique, which allowed me to set 21 AWSA National Records in slalom and tricks, even before I started my journey in international competition. I am convinced that having the opportunity to align with a company that is true to its water ski heritage will help me excel on the water and make it easier to catch that elusive 6 ball at 10.25m and go beyond into territory no other female water skier has ever ventured. I am incredibly honored and excited to represent the Nautique brand that has had such a profound impact on my ski career. I look forward to competing for many more years and being able to ski behind the #1 towboat in the world every day, the Ski Nautique. It’s a dream come true!”

Outside of her accomplishments on the water, one of Regina’s passions is to give back to the sport she loves. Additionally, she brings an encouraging personality and level of professionalism that exudes high moral standards, and her love for being on the water makes her a perfect fit for joining the Nautique brand. Regina has dedicated her life to becoming one of the world’s most decorated women’s waterskiers, a multi-time world record holder and is a practicing Doctor of Pharmacy.

“I am excited to welcome Regina Jacquess to the Nautique team heading into the 2024 season,” said Nautique President Greg Meloon. “Throughout her career, Regina has set new expectations and inspired the waterski community. We are looking forward to her next level of performance behind the Ski Nautique!”

Nautique Partners with Hop On A Cure

ORLANDO, FL (April 2, 2024) – Nautique Boat Company is proud to announce a partnership with Hop On A Cure, a non-profit foundation dedicated to supporting research in order to prevent, reverse and cure ALS. Together, Nautique and Hop On A Cure will focus on gaining awareness for ALS and work towards the common goal of unleashing the power of community.

Nautique will be hosting the Hop On A Cure team at several events throughout 2024. This presence will aim to gain visibility to all the initiatives and fund raising that the Hop On A Cure team work towards. The first event they will be attending is the 64^th Nautique Masters at Callaway Gardens on May 24-26, 2024.

"We're excited to partner with Nautique, and incredibly grateful to be a part of Nautique Cares initiative,” said Nic Shefrin, CEO of Hop On A Cure. “Research for ALS is an underfunded area, and awareness is so important. There's a natural alignment between Hop On A Cure and Nautique - from Hop's lifetime love of the water, to Nautique's mission to help make the world a better place. We're looking forward to collaborating with Nautique at upcoming events to reach a new audience and, eventually, find a cure for ALS."

Under the Nautique Cares initiative, there are several philanthropic efforts that the Nautique team participates in on an annual basis. Bringing the Hop On A Cure organization into the fold and providing them with a platform like the world-class Nautique events is just the first step in a meaningful partnership.

“I’m so proud to be embarking on this special partnership with Hop On A Cure,” stated Nautique President Greg Meloon. “Our culture here at Nautique is to make a difference in our community and I’m excited to get involved with the great people at Hop On A Cure.”

About Hop On A Cure Foundation: Hop On A Cure was founded in 2022 after John Driskell Hopkins of Zac Brown Band was diagnosed with ALS. ALS is consistently one of the most underfunded diseases for research. Because of that, not much significant progress has been made since Lou Gehrig passed away from the disease in 1941. The mission of the foundation is to support research to prevent, reverse, and cure ALS while raising awareness, building a compassionate community, and unleashing the healing power of hope.
