I am very proud of Manon for speaking out about an important issue within our sport of water skiing. She is a brave women and great role model on and off the water. We, as a sport, need to make sure our skiers, especially our children are safe. Manon had an important message in her recent podcast episode about what we can do and why this type of information does not always come out as fast as it needs to in order to protect future victims. We must not remain silent and on the sidelines waiting for someone else to take action, that is how these types of situations can be prolonged. This includes me, as I have heard and seen situations that I should have spoken out about and did not as I felt it was "not my place" to be the one to speak out. If you have not listened to her full podcast, here is a clip of her important message: Know of a concerning situation? You can speak out anomalously at: https://uscenterforsafesport.org

Hi to All, Thanks for the interest in VSS. I would be happy to take calls and emails from anyone with a question or suggestion. Also, anyone that wants to join the all volunteer team would be welcomed. This will only be a success if the talented people from the sport come together for a joint effort of ideas and support. I really want to thank AWSA for their founding sponsorship, especially Gordon Hall from Texas, for his early support to bring this to life. The BETA will be just that, a test run. We need lots more funding to get it right, add Android version and the really fun features planned. As a guess, we will need at least 10k-20k per new feature. We look forward to lots of testers and feedback...especially in this phase of buggy and not that complex...hopefully you will at least see the vision of where this could go. We will need lots of Venture Capital to get where we want to go and investors want to see how many users we have. We need skiers to use Virtual Slalom Skiing as often as possible to make sure our retention rate is strong. The product is meant for a skier to film themselves every time he/she skis to get a score and keep his/her real-time ranking up. Basically, VSS should allow for competing every time you ski, making practice feel like a tournament and hopefully ski course or open water skiing should be more fun. The AR goggles are the most exciting idea and frankly the idea is just a bit ahead of the design of the current AR goggles in the market place. We have done some testing with three brands of goggles so far, but nothing is ideal yet. We need to deal with field of vision, fogging, waterproofing and floatation issues and of course we need lots more R&D funding. Thank you to all the skiers that have helped so far: Greg Hayes - Product Development. Thomas and Alana Latiolais - Empilio -Branding and imagery Todd and Sarah Ristorcelli - Orlando Content Marketing - Taylor Woolsey - product development Alex De Gunsburg - Business Development Advisory Board Paul Nolan - Infinibrand - developer Gordon Hall - Scoring System Erik Boone - AR R&D.
