Malibu Boats Rider Massi Piffaretti Takes Quarter Final Win at the Malibu Houston Pro
With the top two men advancing out of each quarter final heat to the semi-finals the action on the water was impressive, thanks to the incredible wake from the Malibu 25 LSV. Tony Iacconi, Tony Corroll, Dean Smith and Malibu’s Massi Piffaretti all advanced to the semi-finals, where they will be joined by Harley Clifford, Phil Soven, JD Webb, Mike Dowdy, Noah Flegel and Steel Lafferty, who have already prequalified into the semi-finals.
The action didn’t stop there as the event continued over at Hanger 9 Cable Park where the riders were also putting on impressive runs with only the top two advancing to the traditional and features pro men semi-finals tomorrow. After a close battle in the women’s pro, it was Meagan Ethell taking her second win of the day claiming the top spot in the cable features pro women qualifying heat.
“The conditions on the lake today were perfect and I’m excited to have won both my boat and cable heats,” said Ethell. “It’s really cool to be able to compete in both competitions in one day and really push myself to the limits.”
Semi-finals and finals will begin today at the Hanger 9 Cable Park followed up by the pro men and women WBWS championship finals over on the Bel-Ray Action Sports Park.
