The eras this page's records fall in are drawn solid; the others are hollow.
How we know: Each bar runs the years printed on that era's panel, and which eras a page falls in is the archive's grouping of its records, not the length of anyone's career.
Titles on the record (1)
Each read off a results document the archive holds: a result sheet, or, for a season's title, the body's own champions grid or season table, with the name as that document prints it.

Results
1999 · Likely
The 1999 World Finals sheet ranks TERA CRISMON first in Pro-Am Women Ski with 60 points, on a Yamaha. Guinness World Records names the holder of that class's record Tera Laho-Crismon and counts 1999 among her wins on a Yamaha, and on that reading the archive ties the 1999 row to her. The tie is the archive's inference. Guinness's holder is tied to the hall's Tera Laho by name only.

The Watercraft Journal in 2015 named Tera Laho among the riders on Riva Yamaha's race team, without giving years.

Recognition
The association's hall of fame lists her, as Tera Laho, among its 2006 inductees. The roster gives names only, so linking it to the racer on the other documents rests on the name.
Sources: IJSBA hall of fame page
Guinness World Records lists her, as Tera Laho-Crismon, for its record of the most wins of the IJSBA Pro-Am Women Ski World Championships by an individual, all on a Yamaha, with years running to 2002. The count is the record book's, not read off result sheets.

What the archive has not read (2)
- The association's champions page also lists Tera Laho for Pro-Am Women Ski in 1993, 1994, 1995, 2001 and 2002, and Tera Crismon for 1997 and 1998. The archive holds no result sheet for those years (checked 2026-10-05 against the sheets held for 1999, 2004, 2008, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019 and the 2013 entry list), so none is a title here.
- The 2015 World Finals results list a Tera Laho fourth in Pro-Am Women Ski LTD on a Kawasaki. Nothing on that sheet ties the rider to the hall's inductee beyond the name, so it is not used (checked 2026-10-05).

The association's own roster, read on 22 September 2026, giving the hall's name, its creation and dedication in 2006, and inductees by year to 2014, names only. It publishes no selection criteria and no citation for anyone.

Overall results by class for the World Finals of 10 to 17 October 1999, extracted from the association's PDF. The extract lets the hometown and maker columns drift against the names in places, so only a name and the position printed on the same line are read as one row.
- Guinness record IJSBA Pro-Am Women Ski (guinnessworldrecords.com): Most wins of the IJSBA Pro-Am Women Ski World Championships (Guinness World Records page), Guinness World Records; editorial, medium. The record book's page for one class record, held as the fields read from it: holder printed as Tera Laho-Crismon, a "When" of 2002, and one sentence giving a count, a make and the years. Medium at best, as for the Pro Ski record; it is also the one held text that joins the two surnames the association's own pages print separately.

A shop-tour feature on RIVA written from a visit, naming the racers the dealer's team sponsored in the 1990s. Medium as trade press; what it says of RIVA's own past is the company's account as told to the writer, and it gives no years for the riders it names. The held copy has one family detail and an editor's address placeholder replaced in place.
- IJSBA champions page (ijsba.com): World Champions 1982-2007 (IJSBA page), International Jet Sports Boating Association; sanctioning body, high. The association's own list of world champions, titled 1982 to 2007 and running to 2016. Held as a finding aid, not evidence: a World Finals title on a Key Figures page rests on that year's result sheet, and the list is the association's compiled work.
