Skiers from the mid-west and Canada took advantage of the opportunity to receive some coaching from Noah Vieke on July 18th-19th. Noah took a few days off from his Florida driving/coaching job with Chet Raley and shared his expertise with his Indiana connection. Dad Andy Vieke was tickled to have Noah home for a few days. Every skier went away with a "game changer" tidbit to improve their skiing and ball count.

Perfect weather, a new boat, and a new venue set the stage for record attendance and participation for the 2014 Indiana Water Ski Association's Spring Fling. Approximately 35 skiers took advantage to ski behind the new Mastercraft Prostar 200 supplied by Pinecrest Marine. An additional 75 people simply enjoyed the food, drink, and social atmosphere of the day. Venders Sun Valley Sports, Skier's Edge, and Jim's Hot Sauce displayed and sold their wares. Featured skiers included Michele Miller on the single swivel ski, Molly Harrison on the single trick ski, Ethan Miller on the wakeboard, and the 3 Avengers on EZ Skis added variety to the slalom skiers. Later in the evening a little doubles skiing, Brewski Bar Ski, the Goose Hunter Skier, and the Reclinoski ended the activities. It's time to plan ahead for June and July tournaments. The Hoosier Buoy Tour series is back with "out of the box" style fun Grassroots Tournaments this summer! These tournaments are designed to put the FUN back into water ski events featuring handicapped scoring to put skiers on an even plane. The first Hoosier Buoy Tour event will be June 21st at Brewski Lake featuring the Top Cat Format and the second Hoosier Buoy Tournament will be on July 5 and will be a "head to head" event with 2 boats in the water. Look up these and other Grassroots Tournaments around the State for water ski fun events.
