LA Night Jam, a night time professional water sports competition and festival, makes its return on Saturday night June 7th at TriLakes - the home of Bennett’s Water Ski and Wakeboard School.
Once again the event continues to attract the world’s top water ski jumping talent who will fly under stadium lighting for substantial cash prizes and points on the season-long Water Ski Pro Tour. Among those competitors is Hanna Straltsova, (pictured below) an athlete formerly from the nation of Belarus and who has called Zachary home for nearly a decade. She will be looking to defend her title here from the 2024 season season - a season that included wins in every major event. She will aim to replicate that feat on her way to also reclaiming her world titles and break the world women’s jumping record.
The men’s field will also include athletes who have won every major accolade in the world - None more so than former world champion and record holder Freddy Krueger. By far the most experienced competitor in the field, this Florida resident learnt most of his craft here at TriLakes and registered his first-ever professional victory in this state way back in 1995. His Louisiana connections are further cemented by the fact that he also earned his MBA while studying in LSU. Truely a dedicated athlete whom we welcome back annually to great support here in Zachary.
This event enjoys support from many great local entities - including our title sponsor Tides Medical, Louisiana’s Office of Tourism (explorelouisiana.com), Visit Baton Rouge and The Zachary Chamber of Commerce among many others - including BROC, Cecil Graves Chevy/GMC, City of Zachary, Community Coffee, Benny’s Car Wash, San Antonio Surgical Arts, Ochsner Medical, DC Motorsports, Dolphin Wetsuits and Quality Lube.
