Ski and Wakeboard Club - 42 Students

[boarditup]

I bit off a bit more than I can chew - 42 students signed up for a ski and wakeboard club. I figured that about 15 would be the maximum we could handle on a 3-hour session. I know that most will not follow through, but there was a lot of interest in behind-the-boat sports. Most were interested in wakeboarding, but several wanted to learn to slalom through the course. We will see how this develops - the first session is June 3. That will put a bump into the Grassroots program at USA Waterski....

Is this through GVSU?

No, but they will help. This is the brain child of my 13-year old daughter who wanted to share the sport with her school. She wants a new Lyric or Strada and I told her she had to ski more before I would spend that kind of cash. This was her answer to getting more kids to ski with.

Great idea. The sport needs more kids.

Thanks - 7 high school, the rest middle school kids. About 80% boys. I am not sure how I feel about that one.....

Update - first meeting - 3-kids - it was only 66F at the start and it went down from there. One new slalom skier! She is a 6th grade student who always wanted to learn how to slalom. More to come.
