Baller Jtim3032 Posted September 27, 2020 Baller Share Posted September 27, 2020 @rogerw @Splasheye The original photo of Sammy Duvall at the Worlds in the UK 1987 was taken by Steve Sopp and was the basis of this "acrylic on canvas" painting by Louise Cobbold. The painting (and additional prints signed by Sammy) were auctioned off as part of a British Tournament Water Ski fundraiser last Autumn. Definitely one of my favourites of all time. Not only is it a great photo, it absolutely sums up the atmosphere and spirit of competition at the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rogerw Posted September 27, 2020 Baller Share Posted September 27, 2020 @Jtim3032 Cheers for fascinating info and your comment re the event is spot on as I was there at the time. I first saw the pic hanging on the wall at Denham Water ski club a few years ago. Waterskiing competitions, large crowds and great atmosphere - now there's a thing. I doubt it, but if anyone has a copy the would like it to go to a good home, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller rogerw Posted September 29, 2020 Baller Share Posted September 29, 2020 cheers Jtim3032 I used to know Steve a little back in the 80's when we had our little south eastern interclub comps back then. Happy to pay etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller klindy Posted October 6, 2020 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2020 @A_B Looking at the bottom picture reminded me of something Andy told me a few years ago. He said, in his opinion, for every inch you lower the buoys the course is effectively 4" narrower. From the looks of that buoy he's going around, you can explain the yoga move to get around it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted October 6, 2020 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2020 @A_B who is that? @bananaron I bet that hurt! @slow I swear I've never seen a bad shot of Camille @mike_mapple I never see a bad shot of Andy the GOAT either. Still shots of him still look like he's going Mach 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller A_B Posted October 7, 2020 Baller Share Posted October 7, 2020 Kiki (and I will kill her last name trying to remember how to spell it), Mugsarosa or something like that.

Baller Mtea Posted November 25, 2020 Baller Share Posted November 25, 2020 I was one year out of WSU working in Spokane when St. Helen’s blew. We were at the air show at Fairchild AFB when they announced it and that all the visiting planes had to scramble. I got to see an SR-71 Blackbird take off. Very cool.

Baller_ MISkier Posted November 25, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted November 25, 2020 @MDB1056, go look at the first page of this thread and see the picture that Horton posted to start the thread.

Baller slow Posted November 27, 2020 Baller Share Posted November 27, 2020 Our crystal clear lake was murky gray most of the summer. Farming in the Palouse had some of the best yields ever the following year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller perfski Posted November 28, 2020 Baller Share Posted November 28, 2020 I'm not sure this is the exact photo...but one similar shot by Bill Doster shows movement of the skier better in a very unique way. But hard to not love a great Joe Cash or Mapple Shot. Also check out Thomas Gustafson's page...some great shots here also: https://thomasgustafson.com/water-ski-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller MDB1056 Posted May 18, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 18, 2021 Well.....that might well be most unique shot involving a skier, but would disagree on the Greatest Water Ski Photo Ever.The title tends to infer some level of momentary greatness in the performance of the sport . My 2 cents........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller cougfan Posted May 18, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 18, 2021 @Rednucleus i guess you would have had to have lived through the experience to really appreciate the event. Can still remember being in school in Pullman and the sky getting dark at noon. What a crazy time it was. Thanks for the bump. Less than a month til our lake Curlew trip! Starting to get jazzed for that week of skiing food and fellowship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ALPJr Posted May 18, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 18, 2021 @swbca nice pic’. Any more from those Nat’s? Pretty sure David Spencer from NY won the Men’s 1 Overall that year at Berkeley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ swbca Posted May 18, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted May 18, 2021 @ALPJr I wish I had more, I was trying to get Deena Brush too, but nothing of her turned out. I was only on the tower for Women's slalom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
