I have been working on this issue at the local level for years and years before being a member of this national group looking at membership and retention. Really good ideas from some folks here on the forum. Creative thoughts possibly with some teeth. I joined in 1975 because I got an AWSA pamphlet with my new ski. I have been a member ever since. One of my ideas is that with every ski purchased you get a link or download code to a video showing the competition experience. It is made with good solid Class "C" footage of a bunch of fun shots. 3 minutes max. STJ of some weekend tournaments. Young folks and families. Not the amazing Regina or Nate or Adam, Anna or Freddy. Good folks having fun....include some collegiate references and shots of a few teams and their school flags and gear etc. An invitation to join USA Water Ski and how to find what events are within 100 miles of your zip code. A first timers discount of 20% covered by the ski manufacturer isn't a bad idea either.

A few more freaks since people seem to like this topic. Duvall, Mastercraft, Lapoint, also come to mind! null

The square tricks are actually Full Banana CG Trixsters from 1958 that were cut down in the late 1960's to resemble the Al Tyll Trick Masters of the day. The other square ones are Northland full arc tricks. They have no flat spot at all. The CG Dogbone shoe skis are late 1960's early 70's vintage.

Oh baby, where to start. AquaSport was the king of progressive skis in the 50's and 60's even though Cypress Gardens was dominant. My boat house is filled with Hedlund, Burdens Custom, Kahuna (Dave Saucier), Saucier, Northland, Dick Phillips, MasterCraft, Mapes Industries, Atomic Atlantic, White Bear, Taperflex, CG, null
