Point A Lake is a small inlet off to the side a much larger lake with hydro-dam
This beautiful little back water is short and they boys have put a six buoy overlapping course in there and you only run 4 buoys in each direction, missing out the first two buoys. This is a great way to make a very short lake work with a slalom course, either 4 buoy ski course or a 6 buoy ski course. This was a little confusing for Diego as he had never seen or skied on before. After a few runs of having to go around the zero buoy and going through the second set of entrance buoys he soon started feeling at home.
An overlapping 8 buoy course allows you to use a lake as short as 1600' long and and overlapping 6 buoy course would allow you to get away with only 1350' of water, this makes a great deal of small ponds usable for slalom skiing!
I knew I was back in the deep South when I saw Cypress trees in the water!

Eddie putting his new coaching tips to work and looking great on the water!
Strangely enough every picture we had taken of these guys, had them in the same order from left to right, maybe it a seniority thing they have going!
It was great to catch up with the boys a few months later and see their progression over the summer. I received a text from Eddie yesterday, two days after the clinic and he told me he's running his 35 off 12 meters back to back and easier than ever before! Keep up the great skiing boys and I very much look forward to seeing you down in Orlando at my place over Christmas on your annual winter trip down!
