The last few weeks really sunk in for me and brought me back to the roots of the sport that has created so much for me and my family. Waterskiing started for so many of us on a public lake, with no mission aside from some family and friends having a great time on the lake enjoying the summer to its fullest. As a competitive athlete and focused entrepreneur it’s often not in my mind that all of what I do has stemmed from this amazing lifestyle that we have on the lake.
Going back to Canada this summer for 10 days and leaving my Ski Bag at home and doing Canada summer was pretty cool. A few days in the mountains and seeing the true smiles from kids and friends who don’t spend every day on a lake was a true blessing ! Seeing my little ones and some of my best friends and their kids light up the lake on a tube was pretty awesome.
It was also super cool to hear so many stories from others about the summers at different cottages all across CanadaÂ
I’m also more thankful and appreciative now of my good friends at Shuswap Ski and Board who literally embody summer lake life spirit in Canada. The team at Shuswap are the pros at finding as many ways as possible to have fun on the lake !!!
Jumping straight out of the competitive scene for a few weeks sure brought perspective!
