Swiss Pro Tricks RECAP

ROBOT posted a topic in News & Other Stuff, Tuesday at 08:19 PM

The Waterski Pro Tour returned for its fourth season with a trick event in which the female ‘old guard’ underlined, capitalized and circled their dominance while a new generation took flight in the men’s. After a wait of just under 7 months between Tour events, the Swiss Pro Tricks was just the barnstorming opener we were looking for.

The Most Talented Waterskier of This Generation | Joel Poland - Episode 48

Horton posted a topic in Videos, Photos & Media, April 16

Meet the most talented waterskier of this generation, Joel Poland. Growing up in England, Joel grew up wakeboarding and after a few years of that he got into waterskiing. After attending "Jump camp" in Orlando, Joel became extremely driven towards progression, practicing all 3 disciplines of waterskiing (slalom, trick, and jump). Grabbing your trick ski, sky flying, college waterskiing, getting banned from Australia, keeping skiing fun, competition vs. camaraderie, getting a boat sponsor, G.O.A.T. skiers, and getting wrecked on a dirtbike right before a tournament. Hear all that and much more in Episode 48 of the Grab Matters Podcast, now streaming on all major platforms!

ColeGiacopuzzi posted a topic in Technique & Theory, April 15

As many of you have seen Horton just announced a platform for coaches to take on lessons. I was stoked to help him a bit with ideas and come to the final product. We took what was great about Givego and made it better. If you're in the market for coaching please feel free to submit a video. I plan on answering lessons with a voiceover your video to give you the best feedback I can. My coaching style is mainly to help build your overall knowledge and focus on improving your movements to help you run a more efficient line through the course and evolve your skiing. Looking forward to some lessons.

The 6th annual ”Waterski ITALY tour” will happen again between Sept 23rd and Oct 9th 2024.

ROBOT posted a topic in News & Other Stuff, April 12

The 6th annual ”Waterski ITALY tour” will happen again between Sept 23rd and Oct 9th 2024.

”Waterski ITALY tour” is a guided tour from the north east of ITALY towards the west and then all the way south to Napoli. There are 8 exclusive spots being open to any level skier and non skiers are welcome as well.

Like past years we will visit 10 of Italy’s best ski sites but in 2022 one new lake was added so there will be 11 ski sites in 2024. With skiing and an unforgettable culinary experience, the tour is something that must be experienced as the tour travels through 6 different regions (Piemonte, Lombardi, Trentino Alto Adige, Emilia Roman, Lazio & Campania) and each region producing its own culinary treasures. I would say that there are few if any country in the world where you will find such diversity in food in one country. As a matter of fact it was suggested that I name the tour “Waterski & Eat ITALY tour”

Since 1991 I have come to work in Italy running ski school. I have enjoyed these past 30+ years visiting, skiing, competing & capturing photos for waterski magazine of all these different ski sites, and been exposed to some of the best food in the world and become a (as they say in Italy) ”Una buona forchetta”. I hope to share all this with all of you!

If you are interested in joining me in 2024 and/or if you have any questions regarding this once in a lifetime waterski dream vacation I can be contact at: info@waterskiitaly.com

55's / Gates Adjustment for Wind

Mastercrafter posted a topic in Technique & Theory, March 25

Curious how the Ball of Spray collective adjusts for headwind and tailwind passes when it comes to edge-out out for the glide.

Things that could change are timing, intensity, duration of lean, or....?

What do YOU do in the wind to help ensure a tight line and width when it's time to enter the course?

Marcus Brown Joins HO Sports / Syndicate as Marketing Manager

ROBOT posted a topic in News & Other Stuff, March 20

SNOQULAMIE, WA – HO Sports & Syndicate Waterskis are pleased to welcome Marcus Brown as Marketing Manager. His journey with HO began back in 1994, at 15 years old, with the HO Limited. Over the years he has worn many hats for the HO/Syndicate brand: pro athlete, ski designer/engineer, grass roots ambassador and coach, filmmaker and producer of FlowPointTV. His vast knowledge of the sport and our brands will bring a ton of value to HO & Syndicate moving forward.

As a youngster Marcus was drawn to the HO brand and what it stood for. In 2008, Marcus’ childhood heroes, Wade Cox and Bob LaPoint, were integral in bringing Marcus back to HO as a professional athlete. His past titles include a Jr. Masters, University World, Moomba Masters and U.S. Open Championship as well as an induction into the Collegiate Water Ski Hall of Fame.

For over a decade Marcus has worked hand in hand with HO Sports’ Production Director, Dave Wingerter, who also leads the Syndicate brand vision. HO & Syndicate have so many exciting products and plans for 2024, we couldn’t be happier with the addition of MB.

“I’ve known and been a fan of Marcus for years…” says Sr. Marketing Director, Greg Nelson “he’s a respected skier and his FlowPointTV series has been epic, looking forward to having Marcus lead the way for our brands.”

“Much of the success I’ve had in the industry has been thanks to the people who made HO/Syndicate what it is today… the risks they took on my crazy ideas has made all the difference.” says Marcus. “I am humbled and honored by this opportunity”

Sr. Director, Product Development, Dave Wingerter adds “Marcus is a watersports visionary. From winning pro water ski events, reinventing water ski technique to crafting the finest watersports films in the industry. I am excited for Marcus to showcase our brands.”
