Recent weekend shows
The team did have a very busy weekend starting with Friday 26th with Rochesterfest Parade. We had some great coverage on KTTC.
Saturday we had a great Show at Foster Arend, the weather held and the audience loved the skiing. We have some photos on the site very soon.
Sunday was very interesting with the wind conspiring against us. But it was great that the Lake City Water Ski Days committee switched the show to the other side of the marina. We had a great turnout and despite some pretty bumpy conditions the show was very well received by a large audience. Again photos coming soon.
Here's the 2009 RWS Magazine thanks to Peter Keller's hard work. Click on image to open, it's abit slow to load but it'll get there. When the page opens there are some controls on the top. Click the 1:1 button and the < > allow you to page forward and back.

We will be testing 'forums' on the website. A cool place for members to chat about ideas.
For information on practices and shows please look at the calender.
If the calendar shows 'possible practice', this applies to jump or driver practice. These are not set yet and may change. We will notify the team at show practice when these will start.
