On Location Tour Continues

We were asked to return to Sun Site in Dayton Ohio after coaching there last week on our way though to Michigan. Bruce Brown and Jan Terbrueggen have taken part in my coaching in the past and have also been to my school in Orlando many times before. This was the first waterski training that Mike has ever had in his life, Mike is a very good skier but had mentioned he had not improved for some time now and was stuck at the same level. We switched his grip to the opposite hand to which foot forward and worked on body direction to center him over his ski, this straight away gave him efficiency and balance in the course.


It was great to have Jon Borhurst join the clinic both day, Jon skis at National level for many years. Jon had a five year break from the sport whilst raising kids but has been back involved with the sport for the past year and having to make a few changes in his form to manage the new GPS speed control systems on the boats.
A few little tweaks and he looked great!
Happy 6th Birthday to Kelly his youngest.



When you run out if fresh water in the RV, it's time for the boat shower built into the back of the MasterCraft.



It was such a pleasure to meet Kandy Richardson formerly (Bright). Kandy skied at National level back in the 60's, Kandy, now a dog trainer, belongs to a dog club next to SunSite and came over to chat after seeing the On Location Tour Rig.
Kandy Mom Bunny Bright was National Senior Ladies Jump Champion and her Father was the first person ever to jump over 100 feet in our sport!
Kandy spent the summers between 1963-67 skiing at Cypress Gardens and skied at the Worlds Fair in Seattle back in the 60's. I was so cool to meet a true pioneer of our sport!
