Baller aupatking Posted July 1, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 1, 2015 @Horton me and @art90notch are going to head up for Friday. It's a 3-4 hour drive north from here. I don't think I can make the logistics work for both days, being the 4th of July. I'm really wishing I could and hoping for a great event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller RAWSki Posted July 2, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 2, 2015 Looks like a great event, has it been planned for a while? didn't hear anything about it until 4 days prior?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted July 2, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted July 2, 2015 @RAWSki I assume that is not a sarcastic question. If it was a sarcastic question it is sort of funny. That event has been being planned for a year but our sport is so disorganized and poorly promoted that nobody except the participants know about many pro events. I assume that people local around the Malibu tournament site I know about it because of local TV and radio. I want to be careful not to be critical of the actual organizers of this event. They are friends and doing the best they can. They put in a lot of time a lot of work and they have other jobs. Without them there would not be an event. They are not marketing professionals. On the other hand Malibu has a full time marketing staff. My point is that the sport as a whole does a terrible job of self promotion internally and externally. It drives me nuts. I read misconceptions here on BallOfSpray all the time that are created by lack of information about Elite skiing. Ok you hit a hot button of mine. Off my soap box now.

Baller MrJones Posted July 2, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 2, 2015 Sorry Kelvin. Didn't know there was a front page to this place. :) Horton's post says "watch live webcast including prelims".

Baller ALPJr Posted July 2, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 2, 2015 @Horton is there a "Waterski Pro Tour" organization. Like the ATP or PGA? Or is it a bunch of separate promoters? Sorry probably another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller aupatking Posted July 2, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 2, 2015 When I first heard about the event, it was here, and that was a month or so back. I went on Malibu's website, and it is not on there. Actually, for someone who builds the World Record Slalom(W) boat, there site looks like 3 event doesn't exist. You have to go to the boats, and pick the Response to even see skiing at all. They've got UFC fighters and Country music singers all over the thing, but no skiing. The Malibu Cup isn't even in their "News" section. No traditional skiing is at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rodltg2 Posted July 2, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 2, 2015 Does this event replace the Malibu Open ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 This does not replace the Malibu Open. The Open will still be in Milwaukee the last weekend in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Texas6 Posted July 2, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 2, 2015 I will give it to anybody hosting and/or putting together a pro event, my hat is honestly off to them. Given that, BOS is the only place I ever hear about an event or even know where to look for one. Given the absence of a "Pro Ski Tour" landing page and schedule of pro events (that I am aware of), @Horton, have you considered a place on your site for everybody to go to for the Pro Ski Tour schedule - sort of a consolidation of events and participants, etc? Might draw some more traffic to your site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller John Brooks Posted July 2, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 2, 2015 Definitely difficult to keep up with these events, all elite type events that is (Open & Master Men & Women). Seems like it really takes a technology gooru to be tied in to all the various social media and web locations to stay connected to this sport. In addition to BOS, regular visits to the Pro Ski Tour site on FB, https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Pro-Ski-Tour/231448585318, is also helpful. It is kept fairly current. I was first aware of the Malibu Cup when I saw it on the USA Waterski website, the Major Events Calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted July 2, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 2, 2015 From what I can find this is the mens list 1 Parrish, Chris 2 Smith, Nate 3 Winter, Frederick 4 Howley, Joel 5 Winter, Terry Asher, Will 6 Odvarko, Daniel 7 Vaughn, Corey 8 Travers, Jonathan 9 Bartalsky, Martin 10 Detrick, Brian 11 Mcclintock, Jason 12 Wilson, K.c. 13 Finlayson, Trent 14 Parsons, Nick 15 Sedlmajer, Adam 16 Adams, Nicholas 17 Luzzeri, Matteo 18 Stadlbaur, Benjamin 19 Brantley, Tom 20 Efverstrom, Johan 21 Neveu, Stephen 22 Yager, Tyler 23 Allais, Carlo 24 Morgan, Mike 25 Brooks, Wilson Womens List 1 Jaquess, Regina 2 Mcclintock, Whitney 3 Truelove, Karen 4 Costard, Manon 5 Krueger, Geena 6 Arthur, Nicole 7 Dodd, Breanne 8 Adriaensen, Kate 9 Morgan, Lauren I believe 5 of these ladies can run 39. April not being on the list could be an oversight. She usually skis in the events she is planning that would up it to 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted July 2, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 2, 2015 @John Brooks tell me about it. I spend a lot of time every year tracking down event info. I will admit I have slipped a little this season. I need to get back in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Skihack Posted July 3, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 3, 2015 looked like a S2, probably just something in the factory to put onto prototype. Nate's 41 just looked way too easy! Was expecting more at 43. Badass skiing today, no doubt about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ToddL Posted July 3, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 3, 2015 Isn't Nate sponsored by Nautique? If so, do you think he would hold off on a new record until he is behind his sponsor's boat? Not sure how those business relationships work... He had an excellent 1-ball at 43. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skihack Posted July 3, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 3, 2015 If a sponsor really put some serious cash up for a record, that would be a very tough business decision. Would it not? Guess it would come down to how much Nautique pays him. Would 50 k bring out a record regardless of the boat used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
