The Engleson Files

First thing you need to fully understand when it comes to waterskiing is that I suck! As a kid I never did it and have only taken it up since Mom and Dad have moved to Penticton and bought the boat; so I am now 37 years old and in my 4th year of learning - the same goes for my brother. So, a couple of years ago I was happy to just get up and ski behind the wake with two skis, and this year, thanks to Jim (I can’t have him be that much better than me!) I have attempted to drop a ski and try to weave in and out of the wake. As you can clearly see in the pictures, my brother has much sharper form than me and can control himself on one ski far better than I; however, I have been able to drop one ski and did get outside of the wake to which I am very happy about! So I continue my journey of progression with waterskiing and love getting out on the boat and ripping it up - or at least have the water rip me apart!
