Lightning, thunder, and rain ushered in the morning of July 1st at Kodiak Lake. Avid skiers and officials started arriving anyway and the weather finally cleared up providing a picture perfect afternoon at Kodiak Lake and Amusement Park! The roster was filled with both youngsters and adults and the beach was filled with kids enjoying the amenities of the site. A "headwind/tailwind" challenged the skiers but all left with a smile on their face. Next Indiana tournament is at Silent Shores on July 8th and the Indiana State Championships are July 15th and 16th at Cindonway Shores.

June 30th, 2023 ended a week of "barefoot clinic" fun sponsored by Lance Smith of LD Smith Plumbing. Each day, participants gathered early in the morning at the Smith home on White River in Indianapolis for pointers on barefoot water skiing. Numerous abilities from beginner to national champions took advantage of the chance to enjoy the smooth waters of White River. And don't forget the just plain fun like one barefooter hanging on to the ankles of the next barefooter hanging on the boom for the "doubles" experiment! Hats off to Lance Smith for putting on this event. Lance and his company, LD Smith Plumbing are the Platinum Sponsors of the Indiana Water Ski Association. The Indiana Tournament Season has officially begun! Both Sawmill Lake and Timberlake hosted tournaments on Saturday, June 24th. Cale Burdick took top honors at Sawmill skiing into 41' off and Andrew Schmitt won top place at Timberlake with a score of 98 points. The weather man blessed both events with sunny summer weather and great conditions. Look up the scores on the newly launched USA WATER SKI web site for all the scores and participants. The name of the event is the same, the volunteers are different (and younger), the boats are newer, the equipment is upgraded, but it all boils down to a fun day at the lake! The annual RHI Sports Adaptive Waterski Day at Morse Reservoir and Red Bridge Park was greeted with lots of sunshine and warm, but windy weather on the first day of Summer. The 2-day event calls for lots of planning and hard work and the rewards are all realized by the smiles on the faces of participants. Those of us who have frequent access to water activities take it for granted. "What was your most fun day of the summer?" asked the teacher. "It was the day at the lake!" replied the student. 2023 State Championships Info
