Water Ski and Wakeboard Canada is proud to announce that Becky Meyer, hailing from Prince Edward County, Ontario, will be competing at the 2024 IWWF Open, U23, and Junior World Barefoot Water Ski Championships in Auburndale, Florida, from October 5-12, 2024. Becky will represent Canada on the Open Team, competing in the Slalom, Trick, and Jump events.
With 20 years of competitive barefooting experience, Becky Meyer is a seasoned athlete with numerous accomplishments to her name. Notably, she captured bronze medals in the Open Women’s Jump event at both the 2018 and 2010 World Championships. She has also held the title of Canadian Open Women’s Champion since 2013.
Becky’s personal bests include a Slalom score of 12.4 points, 3310 points in Trick, and a Jump distance of 13.7 meters. Her favourite memory in the sport came during the 2018 World Championships in Napanee, Ontario, where she won bronze in the Jump event with her entire family cheering her on from the sidelines.
Becky got started barefooting with friends at her parents’ cottage, and now is thrilled to be sharing the World Championships experience with her two daughters. Becky’s 5-year-old even got up barefooting on the boom this summer, which was such a proud moment.
Becky’s goal is to continue to water ski for as long as she can. She extends her heartfelt thanks to her parents and family for their unwavering support throughout her career.
The 2024 IWWF Open, U23, and Junior World Barefoot Water Ski Championships will bring together the world’s best barefoot athletes in an intense week of competition. Water Ski and Wakeboard Canada is excited to cheer on Becky Meyer as she represents Canada on the global stage.
