That is something I wish we had in 1970's.
Is the club instructional or simply to compete against other colleges?

I stumbled upon the ramp a few years ago on my waverunner. I was surprised to see a ramp and lanes in that section of Hartwell.

It was there in the early 80s but I am not sure how much before that

...but it was not what it is today.

Dr Fain was very supportive and his daughter was a very solid skier.

We had a Ski Nautique and tried to keep a slalom course together on Hartwell.

We were not in competition as a school then.

I remember the course, the boat, and Tish Fain. She was dating a friend's brother, and their father was the Dean of Business Grad school. I have forgotten the names. If I remember correctly Tish used to compete in national competitions.

It all started about 30 years ago with a quadriplegic water skier.
