Bakersfield, California – October 19, 2005 – TeamTigé skiers Jamie Beauchesne and Chris Rossi dominated the 9th annual INT National Championships this past weekend at Ski West Lakes in Bakersfield, California.
Beauchesne captured the first place victory of the tournament. The co-world record holder set the water on fire in the men’s pro slalom with a full pass at 41 off 36 miles per hour. Fellow TeamTigé skier Rossi finished a close second with a score of 5 at 41 off.
In addition to the strong Tigé presence on the water, Tigé was also awarded the prestigious “Best Booth Award”. The theme this year for the Championship was “Hollywood”. Tigé decided to spin off the success of the hit movie “Pirates of the Caribbean.” The booth featured a dunking booth that allowed fans and spectators to dunk their favorite watersport athlete or INT supporters. Participants like TeamTigé members Jamie Beauchense, Chris Bischoff, INT Marketing Director Jaclyn Stocks and even INT Director Harold Stocks all took a walk down the plank.
“Though the competition was fierce, Tigé’s proved to be ahead of the competition once again. The whole team representing Tigé worked really hard to make it the most interactive and fun,” Mark Gibbs, South East Sales Manager said. “The families had a blast at our booth and the whole weekend. INT is obviously a positive driving force is the watersport community.”
