**Bob LaPoint, true life Hero that changed my life -
"The year is 1987. The World has 2,700,000,000 less people than it does today, the Giants beat John Elway in the Super Bowl, Richard Branson makes the first Transatlantic flight in a Hot Air Balloon (2,790 miles) & Freddy Krueger is a serial killer....and a 3 event skier. I remember that Plane flight like it was last year though, because it was my first time in an Airplane. Scared, excited, and eagle eyeing out the window harder than anyone in history...there was soooo much to see!!!! And everything looked unlike anything I'd ever seen before....houses, roads, lakes, mountains....all the stuff I'd already become familiar with in my 8 years of life....but it all looked so different from up here. As we made our approach into West Palm Beach Int'l Airport, I remember looking out the window and pointing to the trees and asking my dad "DAD DAD, look at those trees!!!....they look like pine trees!!??...how is that possible??!" See, on the west coast, in my world, I had only ever seen pine trees in the mountains...where it snows. I knew Florida had neither of those things, so it blew my mind.
A couple days later, after my brother competed in his first U.S. Water Ski Nationals, my mind was about to be blown again. This particular year, 1987, was the first year the Nationals week would be capped by a US Open on the weekend. It was my second year skiing, and I knew all the names of the best in the World...but I'd never seen them ski anywhere other than ESPN (remember when water skiing was on ESPN?). The weekend didn't disappoint. As an 8 year old kid with stars in my eyes....I remember standing on the shoreline thinking, "These guys were INSANE!!!" Some guy no one had ever heard of, Jeff Rodgers, showed up and cranked the s**t out of some 1,3,5's. I remember the rumor being that he'd just started skiing a few years before and ran the slalom course the first time he ever tried it. That, to my little pea-brain, was hard to fathom. And here he was already fighting to beat the best in the World. A West Coast legend, Carl Roberge, ended up tying for 2nd at that US Open, right before my eyes. In 1987 he was the defending Tour champion (5 years later Terry Winter and I were chasing Carl's Jr Boys Western Regional slalom record...3 @ 35 off). I had 2 hero's before getting to watch that US Open..Bob & Kris LaPoint. They were West Coast skiers, and legends around the World. In 1987 Bob LaPoint won the World Slalom Title at Thorpe Park, London (5th World Title) and won at Marine World and the MasterCraft invitational. And when I left Okeeheelee, after witnessing the greatest sporting event I'd ever witnessed, I had a new goal: I wanted to be out there someday, doing what those guys did. The US Open was the seed planted...it was everything I needed as a kid looking for something to hold onto..and it was a pivotal moment in my life..the moment that sparked everything that was to come.
---------------
Exactly 20 years later, in 2007, I found myself standing on the dock at the US Open, shoulder to shoulder with the best skiers in the World: Drew Ross, Thomas Moore, Nick Parson, Will Asher, Jamie Beauchesne. MasterCraft & Chris Sullivan had joined forces and pulled off one of the greatest water ski events I've ever been a part of. They brought the US Open to Disneyworld. It was at night, under the lights, and I was fortunate enough to make the 6 man final, squeaking in by beating out Jeff Rodgers..one of the Legends that inspired my ski bug 20 years prior. The conditions were pretty tough: dark, rolly, lumpy,...unpredictable,...just how I like it. The boat ran its simulation pass, I pooped in my pants a little...and it was time...
And somehow, when the spray settled that eve, I ended up in a Tie-breaker with my buddy Thomas Moore.
Going out first, I was able to run 38 off cold - not very pretty tho. Coming back at 39, I knew buoy 2 was going to be all or nothing...TMo could crush 39 on his second effort & I knew I had to leave it all out there. I think I got lucky,...I blacked out at 2, slammed it as hard as I could, and somehow my ski stayed in the water. I ended up running the pass, and finishing with 1 at 41. TMo looked so solid in that runoff. I'm not sure what happened at 39, but he was late at 3, and couldn't finish the pass.
Afterward, I was standing on the shoreline, bare feet in the wet florida grass, just like it was only 20 years before...gazing down the lake, lights half blinding me, thousands of people lining the waters edge...realizing that two decades prior and a couple hours away, I had been lucky enough to witness this very event, an experience that had changed my life. I stood there in disbelief that I had won the US Open....hoping that my buddies and I had actually inspired some kids that night....hoping that we had sparked a light for the next generation."

Just look at what Technology can accomplish: Here we have an Average Joe (my nephew Gavin) skiing through a slalom course. The rope length is 38’ off (which means the rope doesn’t even reach outside the buoy). The boat speed is 36 mph (58 km/h), and the lake is The Ridge, in Northern California. In the upper frame, with the help of modern technology and CGI processing, we were able to re-create exactly what Gavin thinks he looks like when he skis: clean cut, color-coordinated gear, shorts in the proper position, body stacked, in control…basically exactly how everyone thinks they look when they ski. In the lower frame, with the help of modern drone technology, we were able to capture, in painstaking detail, what 38’off actually looks like….hair out of place, borrowed gear from completely different decades, board shorts that magically turn into speedos….Youuuu get the picture. In essence, the upper visual is what he thinks he looks like,...but the lower video is what this sh*t actually looks like to everyone that has to watch! // Thanks Science. Happy Skiing…. #flowpoint #InstagramVsReality #waterski HO Skis DJI #drone #phantom4pro #dji #neverstopskiing #flowpointminute

This Bob Marley is not who you think he is. He's not Jamaican, he doesn't have dreads, and he's an avid water skier. He and his boys wake up at 6:30 am, cut glass all morning, and then talk about it the rest of the day....only to fall asleep and dream about doing it all over again. Yeah sure, he still does comedy....and he's shared the stage with all the big names: Dane Cook, Louis CK, Chapelle, etc... But on this particular afternoon, on the shores of The Ridge outside Chico CA, Bob took a second to share his perspective on the water ski world. He discussed the following: TBS Freddie Winter Moomba Masters Stephen Neveu Gators and Skiing Beginning skiers Chris Parrish Jon Travers J Mac Corey Vaughn Dr. Jan Michaels Vincent Terry Winter You're not going to wanna miss this. For more from Bob, check out his Website http://www.bmarley.com and catch one of his shows if you're on the east coast!

PATAGONIA Part 2: An Uncommon Adventure Drive a Ford Econoline Van from Ventura California, to the southern tip of South America - Patagonia, over 10,000 miles? The year was 1968, and the objective seemed insane, partly because Patagonia was a huge unknown at the time. The players in this story?…Yvon Chouinard and Douglas Tompkins. 2 names most people have never heard, but they are probably two of the most disruptive people on the planet….in a good way. Yvon Chouinard started a climbing gear company that eventually became Patagonia, a brand most people would recognize. Douglas Tompkins co-founded The North Face, with his wife, and after continued success, decided to move to Patagonia and take up the objective of conservation. They ended up purchasing and conserving over 2,000,000 acres of land in Chile and Argentina…an area equivalent to almost 3 Yosemite National Parks. In 2010, a good friend of mine recommended a Documentary: “180 Degrees South" It follows a guy named Jeff Johnson in his effort to retrace or relive the original 1968 adventure, and attempt to climb a Volcano (Corcovado) in one of Doug Tompkins’ National Parks. The soundtrack for the movie is still my favorite. The scenery was like nothing I’d ever seen before. And the theme was infectious: didn’t matter if it was Yvon and Douglas in 1968, or Jeff Johnson in 2008,….the people on an adventure traveling south to this place called Patagonia were always changed through the act of adventuring. Through the act of overcoming….and simply continuing to show up. So, from that day 7 years ago, I was determined to make the trek south to Patagonia. Somehow, someway. What I never imagined was that I’d get to see Patagonia through the lens of my favorite sport: water skiing. Douglas Tompkins passed away in a Kayaking accident on Lago General Carrera almost exactly 2 years ago. The General is a massive lake, the biggest in Chile (4 times the size of Lake Tahoe), and is almost 2,000 ft deep
