His last day will be Nov. 3. Boudreaux joined USA Water Ski & Wake Sports in August 2018 and has led the organization over the last five years. During his tenure, which included guiding the organization through the COVID-19 pandemic, USA-WSWS has seen unprecedented financial stability. Additionally, he grew the organization’s social media platforms by 107% and created several new marketing and programming initiatives, including Get on the Water and #WeAreWaterSki to drive new members to the sport. In 2022, USA-WSWS was awarded the USOPC Choice Award for the Girls, Inc. Learn to Ski Program for excellence in diversity, equity, and inclusion. “ I have truly enjoyed my time at USA Water Ski & Wake Sports and hope that I am leaving the organization in a better place,” Boudreaux said. “I want to thank the board of directors for giving me this opportunity. I have met some amazing people in the water ski community.” The organization will immediately begin a national search for a new executive director.

The day started out cold, dismal, and not very promising but the actual water conditions were excellent all day! At times the sun came out and the sweatshirts came off. Three rounds of slalom and trick made for good times for all who came. The famous "pork burgers" off the grill were enjoyed by all. The younger skiers even were awarded medals for the efforts in both slalom and tricks. Pay attention to IWSA announcements coming for the annual awards banquet to be held later this fall. Team Sharkey arrived at Saturday's Silent Shores Tournament with their early 2000 Mastercraft Prostar in tow. And they left with their new 2023 Mastercraft Prostar in tow! The Sharkey families pre-ordered their new Prostar from The Liquid Edge in Illinois who then placed the boat with Neal Clark for "promo boat use" during the summer of 2023. A sweet arrangement for all involved! The Liquid Edge supplies several promo boats each year to several Indiana customers. Happy Skiing to the Team Sharkey! Big shout out to Cody Sharkey as he has qualified for the 35+ Pan Am Senior Water Ski Championships as an independent to be held September 21-24, 2023 at Skyview Water Ski Club in Harmony, NC.
