Windy Weather

The joys of an outdoor sport! The weather forecast for today is 20-25 mph wind. Thanks to my Tour partner Logan Haughn who is from Travers City for bringing his portable course and John Merryfield, a many participant of our clinics, for letting us anchor the portable course out in front of his beach property at the North end of Silver Lake where the water is like glass, the crazy north wind will not take away our fun today!!!

The starting of the Tour

My On Location Coaching Tour has got off to a great start with some great skiing from the Michigan area local skiers. First held at Placid Waters following the Global International this past weekend in Allendale and the second day at Bass Lake today near Fenton in East Michigan.









I have now arrived in Travers City Northern Michigan for a Clinic on beautiful Sliver Lake with my Buddy Bart Colins, I have been coming up the Travers now for going 10 year and love to come back up here every year. Great place, great people and just a really great time on the water!

Getting better every set!

Jan from Chile is doing a great job of fixing his position in his stance and in the course, he is way more controlled on his ski and holding direction across course after learning how to follow his ski and not the boat!
