Administrators Horton Posted September 12, 2019 Administrators Share Posted September 12, 2019 Eddie Roberts has played a pivotal role in the progression of waterskiing through his work at both HO Sports and Radar Waterskis. As Herb O'Brien's right-hand man Eddie was a sponge as he learned from the master. This allowed him to become a product manager for the waterski division where he would oversee production and manage R&D for waterski design. Eddie has been at the forefront of innovation as he implemented new processes and constructions into manufacturing. Eddie has also helped shape tournament skiing in the PNW as a pioneer for early events and lakes that have come to fruition. We couldn’t be more stoked for Eddie as he’s being awarded the Award of Distinction for all his accomplishments.

Baller bherder Posted September 12, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 12, 2019 Still remember when I called up Eddie 22 years ago when I was a senior in high school to ask him how water skis were made. I told him that I wanted to make a ski for my senior project and he sent me a core and glass. I still have the ski to this day and someone ran 34 mph 28 off on it. Eddie is awesome! The ski....not so awesome, but a learning experience :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member Shark Posted September 13, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted September 13, 2019 Congratulations to a great technician of the sport and a great friend! Well deserved. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to know and ski with Eddie over the years. Today a friend and I skied on Radar Lk with Eddie in the boat. He always has a positive spirit and energy level towards skiing and life. Eddie, you’re my hero and an inspiration to us all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller schafer Posted September 13, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 13, 2019 My favorite thing Eddie has ever done, “hey Todd let me take your bindings” and comes back from the barn with them on a new ski and then rides in the boat and watches a hack like me. He’s the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ RichardDoane Posted September 13, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted September 13, 2019 @horton - looks like you'll be getting our bar tab at the ceremony in May, there must be a "ballers" table or ten to help Eddie receive his award Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
