Back in the 1950 and 60’s show skiing was a big thing. It was filled with quirky acts, folks skiing on a canoe paddle, climbing a ladder, etc. One such act will be returning this summer. The club has received Richard Price’s BikeSki. I’m looking forward to getting some of our skiers on it after a little refurbishing this spring.
Some history from Richard on the Bikeski: It started as a “Free board”, Which is used to start barefoot skiing with a block to hold the toes.
The ski was made by Rainbo Baking Co. in Emporia, KS. The board was steamed and a 1 1/2 ton truck was parked on it overnight to ..read more

We are so excited. Summer is coming and so are some great changes for our club. It’s been a good number of years since we have been able to put our jump on the water. This winter the club voted to spend the money and rebuild the jump. We have decided to resurface the jump with HDPE plastic which should last many many years.
We are looking for companies or individuals to purchase an ad on the side of our jump. If your company is interested in a unique opportunity, give us a shout. Look for big red to be on the water sometime around Memorial Day. Here’s a few pictures from the last time it was o ..read more
