Baller lhoover Posted September 21, 2015 Baller Share Posted September 21, 2015 The Panneton family, avid slalom skiers and BOS fanatics, had a great day at the local Houston area tourney. The Mom ran a PB, son ran a PB, daughter almost ran her 34mph, and Daddy David highlighted with his first ever 38, 1.5@39!! Now that is some really sweet skiing, as well we all know. Congrats to the whole family, but Especially DP with breaking into sacred territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller MikeDunlap Posted September 21, 2015 Baller Share Posted September 21, 2015 His 35 was nice, and the 38 was even better, unbelievable tournament set for Dave. The Panneton's are an outstanding family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ForrestGump Posted September 21, 2015 Baller Share Posted September 21, 2015 DP probably did a bunch of push ups and pull ups prior to said PB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MikeDunlap Posted September 21, 2015 Baller Share Posted September 21, 2015 Not to take anything away for Dave's performance, but I award "skier of the day" to his wife Ann. She ran 3 tournament passes each of her 3 rounds. Anytime a guy can get his kids and wife to join him in skiing a tournament, I consider this an outstanding day. @MrJones, you also do a great job getting full family involvement. @ShaneH, I skied right after Dave and my warm up consisted of watching Dave do his actual warm up.

Baller Chef23 Posted September 21, 2015 Baller Share Posted September 21, 2015 Congratulations on the first crack at 39. Awesome skiing and I am very jealous. I am still working on first 35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller AkBob Posted September 21, 2015 Baller Share Posted September 21, 2015 I was happy to hear about the 38. Great family and a wonderful accomplishment. Nice to see that good things can happen to good people. Now it's just another 18" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller DavidP Posted September 22, 2015 Baller Share Posted September 22, 2015 Thank you @lhoover and guys for the recognition and congrats! It was indeed a fun and rewarding day, and happy to defer the "skier of the day" award to Ann. My goal was running 38 at 48, but I didn't get it and was getting concerned I might not ever get it. So I'll take getting into 39 at 49! Kyle K. and @ski6jones were a great boat crew (SN200 6.0L) and many other folks contributed to this performance: Ann and the kids for putting up with my obsession, KLP for his annual coaching and ski setup, AM for his coaching when I demoed the 6.1, Horton for this forum and the lessons we learn from others, and my ski buddies and Pat for allowing us to ski on his lake! One piece of advice I can pass along...practice does not make perfect. We can not be perfect, we ski on water not walk on it. Rather, practice makes progress!
