Both sides of my family grew up on water. About that same time as you dad had this thing where he'd ski on'na boat paddle. Kinda redneck trick skis. Aunt on mom's side used to do the foot-with-rope trick. Everyone skied here. Sis's Godparents were reffered to "Ski Mama ans Ski Daddy". Still to this day I don't know their real first names. They owned the camp that EmmyLou video was shot at but I can't find the video. It should have been b/w 95-2000. Anyone have any idea the name of it?

Seems like this should be it

 
That aint it. It's a camp on the water, white if I remember. You should be able to see the run (pier).
 
An 18" Mohawk canoe paddle was my "trick ski". MANY Jacksons were won with that trick. :greedy_dollars:

I was taught by a Cypress Gardens exhibition skiier as an early teen. Never attained his level on turn-arounds (and my knees now remind me of the hours I spent trying) but will still slalom if opportunity presents itself.

I've an old Connelly ShortLine graphite (65") and Mitsy uses a Cypress Gardens CGS 1000... reminds me I need to Craig's List a set of Connelly HO WIde-Traks w/ carry bag. :tongue:
