Every Personal Best Deserves to Be Celebrated
Every athlete arrives at a World Championships with a different ambition, a different journey and a personal definition of success.
For some competitors, the ultimate goal is to stand on the top step of the podium and be crowned a World Champion.
For others, success may be measured by completing a difficult pass for the first time, producing a new personal best score, returning strongly after injury or simply delivering their finest performance on the world stage.
At Malibu, we believe each exceptional performance deserves to be recognised.
A Limited Edition Championship Memento
Malibu has specially commissioned a limited edition commemorative baseball cap for athletes who achieve a personal best result during these World Championships at Predator Bay.
Created exclusively for the Championships, the cap celebrates the commitment, perseverance and countless hours of training behind every outstanding personal performance.
A Warm Welcome from Malibu
Competing at a World Championship is the result of countless hours of dedication, training and commitment. Every athlete who arrives at Predator Bay has earned their place on the world stage, and Malibu would like to recognise that achievement.
To welcome you to the 2026 IWWF World Over 35 Waterski Championships, Malibu has prepared a special commemorative gift for every registered athlete.
We will not spoil the surprise, but we hope it will become a lasting reminder of your time at Predator Bay.

While each division will crown a new World Champion, every athlete has the opportunity to achieve something extraordinary.
Personal Best Stories
During the Championships, this section will feature athletes who achieved a personal best, together with the story behind their performance and why the moment mattered to them.
We will share the athlete's achievement, the performance that led to it and what competing at Predator Bay meant to them.
Every personal best represents hours of training, determination and the courage to perform when it matters most.
Selected stories will help celebrate the many outstanding achievements taking place throughout the week.
Share Your Experience
Whether you are joining us at Predator Bay or watching from home, your feedback will help improve future Championship experiences.
Celebrating Exceptional Performance
A personal best is more than a number on a results screen. It can represent years of preparation, a return from adversity, the completion of a long-held goal or a performance an athlete will remember for the rest of their life.
The limited edition Malibu Personal Best Commemorative Cap has been created in that spirit: to recognise not only the athletes who achieve the ultimate honour of becoming World Champion, but every competitor who produces an exceptional performance of their own.
Throughout the Championships, Malibu will celebrate these personal victories alongside the crowning of the new World Champions.
Congratulations to every athlete who leaves Predator Bay having achieved something they had never achieved before.
