Started doing P90X last week, after a few days of soreness I went and skied on Saturday for the first time in a month. My drysuit stll has flowage to fix and so does my boots, but I needed to go get wet. Once I started to get close to skiing I started thinking about to many things so it was some paralysis by analysis. Always starting to hard but after a few passes it got better and better...at least as far as the starts went. I ran a a 22 opener and then skied about 6 28s missing a few of them. I still have to accept that I don't need to work as hard as I'm working. When I get the intensity close it's a really fun pass, when I don't it's as hard as any pass I ski. I hope to start skiing 1 set a week, when I can find someone to play.

If only I lived closer! BTW, we call that a "damp suit".

    Fellow skiers, in all the years of posting on 15off I've finally hit the "big time" with some front page content!  I’ve pretty much decided that with this post I've already hit my waterskiing zenith for the year because nothing I do on the water will compare to the pure awesomeness of being a front page contributor to site dedicated to the largest population of skiers...

  • Your kids and water skiing

    Being a father has taught me a lot of things in life, including some very unexpected psychology lessons while attempting to introduce our kid to this sport. The picture above is our then-almost-3-year-old taking her first (and possibly last [!] run behind the boat) I'd like to tell that story, as well as my own childhood water skiing story in an attempt to drum up some conversation on the...

  • Waterskiing is cool, and damned stylish as well

    We've talked at length in the past about barriers to entry and growing the sport. Those are great topics to talk about but in this post I just want to focus on how "cool" waterskiing is/has become based on my observations over the past 10 or so years. There are a number of people, organizations, and corporations who are injecting incredibly POSITIVE and FRESH mojo into the... Read more
