Nicolas Le Forestier completed 16 full 360 degree flips on one waterski in 30 seconds at the set of L’Ete De Tous Les Records, Biscarrosse Lac, France on 5 August 2003.
He equalled his record on the television show again in Biscarrosse on 13 July 2005.
The clip shows 17 but the stopwatch was not stopped after exactly 30 seconds, if it had been he would have only achieved 16.
