Our plan was to leave CA at 3:30am Saturday morning and be in Havasu for the first race, but maybe (someone) had one too many on Friday night, and didn?t get on the road until 8am, so we missed the first Mini Marathon which I heard was the roughest of the weekend. The wind blew both days, and made for some of the roughest water I have seen in a few years. Congrats to all the World Team members, and wishing Brady a speedy recovery. I have over 1,500 shots so let me know if you want to see anything or anyone special.

It's a Wellscraft, brand new hull and design. Custom built by skier Martie Wells. He and the boat will be going to the world water ski racing championships in Seattle in a couple months [emoji106]

Didn't know he still built boats... Did Nordic do the lay up? Looks like one of his old hulls mixed with the 20 Nordic.

Yeah this was the most recent hull in some time. I believe the bottom is the same in the front half but the back looks a little different. The top looks like the back of a cyclone with a whole new front. It looks cool and totally different. I believe Nordic did help with the layup. They're still tweaking the set up but already putting up some great numbers. I don't want to say to much and step on any toes...
