I am proud to announce that my trainer and girlfriend, Jenny LaBaw, has some new offerings for the new year.
She is constantly developing and improving a really cool online training opportunity for you folks. It allows her to train anyone anywhere in the world, over the internet!
2008 was a mixed bag full of surprises, upsets, long days and even longer nights... We saw the start up of the MasterCraft Pro Tour again, with a solid offering of stops for all three events. On the competitive side, Men's Slalom was unreal this year. Young guys popping out of nowhere, new blood if you will.
Jenny and I rolled into Heath Voss' home in Mico, TX at 3 a.m. september 8th. After spending one last day getting things sorted and cleaned with Pete, the Face To Face Tour was officially over.
Phenomenal venue, great skiing and plenty of spectators made this years MC Pro stop in Charleston a success. After running an easy 5 @ 39 in an earlier round, Karina Nowlan went on to battle and beat Karen Truelove in the head to head night final. Both women ran solid 38's, but with Karina's choice to go first she was able to throw up a big score of 3 @ 10.75m in the dark.
Here we are, at Trophy Lakes in Charleston, South Carolina for the second to last MasterCraft Pro Water Ski Tour stop. Yesterday in the preliminary rounds we saw some of the best skiing all year. In the first round of men slalom, 7 guys ran 39.5 off (10.75m)!! In the second round of just the top half of the field, atleast another 6 of them went down. That's 13 total in one day! Unreal!
This sight is the sickest public lake for a slalom course we've seen yet. It's just off the highway for starters. But the lake itself is fed from a river to a back cove that is basically set up like a ski lake - that's where these people rip it.
