something I thought was fun to watch. When they are doing the interview in the race shop you will see the skater that is my avitar in the back.

I remembered reading an article in Powerboat on the Catalina race. Looked it up in issue Sept 03. The winner that year was Martie Wells in 1:01:42

i'm going to have to agree....looks like fun but i couldnt do it....

Im curious, they didnt mention how long the ride was there and back....I wonder how long it takes?

The race is 62 miles round trip, and I believe the record still stands at just under 51 minutes.

Pretty nuts.

Here's another video

My buddy's 18 year old daughter is doing it this year. When out and trained with Lori Dunsmore a few months ago. Talk about a badass on a ski... Lori's got it going on.

The polar bear run has got to be coming up within the next few weeks too right?

Or how about a couple years ago when the turn boat was in the wrong place (and a little fog) made some of the boats run through the spectator crowd...

It's not easy to navigate out there...let alone racing other boats and towing a skier...lol.
