Description
This is my brother Alex, who is a top slalom waterskiier.Slalom skiing involves a multi-buoy course that the skier must go around in order to complete the pass. A complete slalom waterski course consists of 25 buoys. There are entrance gates at the beginning and end of the course that the skier must go between, and there are 6 turn buoys that the skier must navigate around in a zigzag pattern. The remainder of the buoys are for the driver to ensure the boat goes straight down the center of the course. For a tournament to be sanctioned as 'record capable' by the International Waterski & Wakeboard Federation (IWWF), the entire course must be surveyed prior to competition by a land surveyor to ensure its accuracy. The drivers boat path must be verified as well to ensure that all skiers are getting a fair pull.

Congratulations on being featured in the Fine Art America Group "Images That Excite You!"

Venetia, Great action capture. I'll bet Alex loves this image. The closest thing I have ever done to create flying white water like this was on my Seadoo Personal Watercraft on Apache Lake, Arizona. Water sports are a great way to keep cool during the desert summers here!! FAV Jerry
