I can't decide whether this picture should be called "Fun in Acapulco" or "Acapulco Gold." Either phrase would caption the image and would also capture the week I had there. Aside from the great daily routine, great company and special experiences, this trip reminded me of the strong relationships I have in ACA. I returned home with full heart and a mind full of old and new memories alike. I'll be totally psyched to go back next year for more. Thank you to everyone who made this a special trip - you know who you are. But this sunrise has a second meaning... It's the dawn of a new ski season at home!
Yes... This amazing place, where we do this amazing sport.... It's time to fire it up for 2019. The weather forecast is showing mid 70's for this coming weekend (April 6-7). So we are going to uncover the brand new ProStar. Drop it in. Take a rip and start pulling skiers at the Bum Pass Water Ski Club. I can't believe how fast the summer calendar is filling up - especially for the Ski&B. Start planning some ski time for yourself in Bumpass and get in touch with me to set it up. It's so nice to be at this point of the season - blank slate and no limits. It will start flying by as it always does, so come early and come often. Make 2019 the most fun summer you've ever had on a freakin' water ski!

LKA Rippers is a new water ski and water sports club for enthusiastic skiers and riders on Lake Anna. There aren't many USA WaterSki affiliated clubs operating on public water but I've been really excited about the new folks who have contacted me, eager to sign up. The purpose of the club is to help skiers meet one another, make new friends and ski buddies, help people who need a pull find one and to offer USAWS's liability insurance to recreational skiers by bringing them into the organization through the club structure. Our numbers are small so far, but passion is high! If you or anybody you know likes to get after it on LKA, email me to join up. Like our "Lake Anna Rippers" Facebook page too!
That's it! Now get your ski out of the closet and come SHRED!
