I'm Greg Schorr, from western Washington. I grew up sailing and boating on Puget Sound, and when I was about 12 I learned to ski on two. Two years later, I finally was able to get up on one (yep, that transition sucked for me). My step dad immediately took me to a lesson on a private lake (Broho), and a few weeks later ('88) I entered my first tournament.
While my skiing was never great, my boating was ok, and I managed to get a Supra promo boat at 16. Skied in local/regional tournaments until 92 when I went to college where I completely destroyed my shoulder.
Slalom skiing life slowed down for many years, but then I got back into it. 4 years ago, I welcomed my son, and since then my skiing time has increased dramatically (who'd have thought?). My wife needs her time to work/ etc., my son loves to be in the boat, and my friends have been incredibly welcoming to having a toddler in the boat. So, instead of rushing to get a set in and get back to work, now skiing gives my partner her time and I can spend more time at the lake!
On a good year, I'll run some full passes at 12m/35'off at 55/34 and 1 or 2 at 11.25.
Still have my '91 Supra, updated with an '04 ZR6 engine and Perfect Pass with a z-box.
Thanks for making this forum available and so relevant!
