Hi guys I'm new to this sport and site so thought I'd share how I got involved. I got asked last year by my slalom water ski buddy if I wanted to try a ski race. I said sure and I had a blast. I only did the short course 16 miles as I had no idea what to expect and I was on a 70" slalom ski. You can catch the boat and me at 50 seconds into the video below:

I've currently got a friend of a friend who can wood work making me up a 87" race ski like the Maha. He's made one so far for my other buddy and I tried it out. It needs a few tweaks like deeper fin but it felt great and I can't wait to try out mine.
