Nautique then developed two other G-Series models with the G21 and G25. In 2016, Nautique then blended what it learned with the Ski Nautique 200 and G-Series and created a multi-sport line called the GS-Series. These boats can be used to wakesurf, waterski or wakeboard. In 2019 Nautique released the Super Air Nautique G23 Paragon. [citation needed]
