Jamie Huser from Switzerland has set a new wakeboarding world record, riding a 140-meter rail on Lake Falerin at 2,000 meters above sea level.
The rail - built from 24 floating metal segments - is almost ten times the length of standard competition rails, demanding extraordinary balance, precision, and persistence from the 21-year-old, who succeeded on his 113th attempt.
Key Facts
* Athlete: Jamie Huser (SUI), age 21;
* New Record: 140-meter rail ride on a wakeboard;
* Location: Lake Falerin, Laax region, Switzerland - 2,000 m elevation;
* Attempts: 113 total - success on the final attempt;
* Speed: 34 km/h;
* Rail Construction: 24 floating metal segments, 140 meters in total length;
The Challenge
Wakeboarding rails in competition usually measure between 10 and 15 meters, built from plastic.
Huser’s project was on another scale: a metal rail, 140 meters long, slicker than plastic and floating freely on an alpine lake.
Maintaining balance and consistent rope tension proved the ultimate test. Speed had to stay precise, but rope pull varied along the rail.
“I wanted to try something new and really challenge myself,” said Huser.
On his 113th attempt, he held balance from start to finish, gliding all 140 meters.
Technical and Physical Preparation
Balance was key.
Huser trained for months on slacklines, gym balls, and balance boards.
He strengthened his arms and shoulders, especially his left shoulder, after recent surgery.
On the rail, he made constant micro-adjustments in speed, stance, and positioning.
The breakthrough came when he slowed his mindset. Huser explained: “I told myself, ‘Do it nice and slow, like in slow motion. Every tiny movement makes a difference.”
The perfect pace: 34 km/h. And then, he nailed it.
