Canary Islands Ski Racing

Posted by on 3 Sep 2012 in Movies, Spain | 0 comments

There is a strong tradition of water skiing on Tenerife (Canary Islands) in Spain since the 70s and Jonas Garcia is one of those who keep the sport going today. With there being 1000 miles from Tenerife to Spanish mainland, and 2000 miles to Belgium, it’s an expensive and time consuming task to compete in European championship races. However the internet and social networks has made it possible for teams on Tenerife to learn more about the sport and improve. Jonas has shared with us , a video of the Tenerife team “Kings of the...

HellRazor wins the Hi-Tec Oils Hawkesbury 120 – Full Report

Posted by on 3 Sep 2012 in Australia, Uncategorized | 0 comments

HELLRAZOR WINS THE 2012 HI-TEC OILS HAWKESBURY 120 WATER SKI RACE. The first race of the 2012-2013 Super Series’ was an action packed success, with close racing in all classes all weekend and lots of record times absolutely obliterated. The Sydney Sun gods were smiling, rewarding competitors with smoother water and low winds. The race program introduced a few different skiers & boat combinations for this season, as well as some brand spanking new boats, never seen raced before. As such the gossip on the bank was running in overdrive. Who would it be that takes it out ? The Sackville Shootout, a 33km race for Sunday’s pole positions, from Sackville to Windsor, was a race that came down to a 1 second gap over the finish line between last year’s winner Superman and Queensland’s Blazen towing current F2 World Champion Grant Turner and Nth Qld’s Mark Weaver. Stepping up into Super Class, after a few years of domination in the Unlimited Inboard class, was Darren Stewart and his super quick boat Agitator. Towing Kris Knights and Justin Cadden, the guys really kept the front 2 boats honest, finishing just 16 seconds back, beating their Unlimited record time by...

2012 Hi-Tec Oils Hawkesbury 120 Entries Closing Friday 10th August

Posted by on 8 Aug 2012 in Australia, Uncategorized | 0 comments

The 2012 Hi-Tec Oils Hawkesbury 120 Ski Race, held from the 24th-26th August, looks to be a spectacular start to the 2012-2013 Super Series. The race is an exciting prelude to the new season, with a lot of new boats and crew set-ups set to go hard in the longest 2 up ski race in the world. Major sponsors Hi-Tec Oils continue their support of Ski Racing NSW, sponsoring the H120 event and we must thank them for their ongoing support. Last year’s winner Superman, towing Daniel Graziano and Daniel Campbell, took out the Sackville Sprint, Super Class and the race outright last year in a super quick time of 43:10mins. In doing that it joined Stinga as the only other 2 time winner of the event. Jason Walmsley, Chris Gelle, Daniel Campbell and Daniel Graziano are all gunning to become the first skiers to win the race outright three times. Stinga’s record from 2010 of 41:25mins is up for grabs and could quite possibly be taken out by the F21 Force Stinga in the Unlimited Inboard division, towing Ben Hackett and Jack Houston. Others from that class will be keeping them honest though, as it has become one...

Looking for 70’s racer Don Henderson

Posted by on 26 Jul 2012 in USA | 0 comments

A letter from Ken Durham …I ran across www.skirace.net, and was hoping that you may be able to help us locate a teammate who was also a National Water Ski Racing Champion in 1973 and 1974. My name is Ken Durham, and I was (am) a member of the Undefeated 1974 Cal State Long Beach Varsity Rowing Team. We are preparing for a major reunion, and have been trying to get in touch with all of our team-mates. However, we are having trouble locating Don Henderson, who at the time also was a distinguished water ski competitor with the NWSRA in Southern California. He is listed here http://www.nwsra.net/uploads/pastnat.pdf as two-year champion in the “16-19 Boys” division. I know his brother John also raced, but have not run across his name anywhere. Would it be possible to run a search announcement of some kind on your website? Having grown up in and around auto racing, I know that old racers of any kind a never completely out of touch with their sport – and maybe we can track down Don through a friend or former fellow competitor. You can read a little more about our search at our coach’s website:...

Please Support Ken Vaughan

Posted by on 16 Jul 2012 in Catalina 2012, USA | 0 comments

I was sat at the Maya last night and Wendy Feros joined us for a drink. That’s when we heard the news that Kenny Vaughan has cancer. If you don’t know, Ken organises Catalina and before him, his dad did the same. Below is a message from Catalina Water Ski Race Committee. As many of you know our Catalina Water Ski Race Director Ken Vaughan is fighting cancer. This struggle has been very difficult for him both physically and financially, State Disability Insurance only goes so far. Ken would never ask for help himself, so his family and friends are going to ask for him. If you could please donate some funds to help that would be very much appreciated. Donations can be sent thru PayPal to Pvaughan150@aol.com or checks sent to Peggy Vaughan, P.O. Box 5968, Garden Grove, CA 92946-5968 Also we will have a box for donations at the Catalina Water Ski Race, look for it at registration, drivers/observers meeting and trophy presentation. Thank you, Catalina Water Ski Race...

Karen Brooks Becomes British Team Captain

Posted by on 3 Jun 2012 in Great Britain | 0 comments

After doing a terrific job, Derek Blackmore has stepped down as British Water Ski Racing Team Captain. Derek has been racing and contributing to our sport for decades and given a lot, and he will continue to do so as he now focuses more on his role as an International judge. Stepping up to the mark to take on the role of British Water Ski Racing Team Captain is a very proud and capable Karen Brooks who needs little introduction to British, European or world water ski racing circles. Karen said; “having been involved in water ski racing for over 35 years, I am delighted and honoured to represent Team GB on the international water si racing circuit”. Karen was one of my 1st competitors in the 70’s when we were 12 year old skiers battling it out in races at Penarth Water Ski Club. Her sons, husband, parents, sister and in-laws have all been involved in racing and Karen’s history in the sport and knowledge of it is vast. So together with her incredible ability to organise and manage, she will no doubt do Britain proud in this role. Karen is one of the most committed people in...

Mike Bemis Passes Away

Posted by on 1 May 2012 in USA | 0 comments

Ski racing has lost one of its great characters, namely Mike Bemis from the USA. On 23rd Septemeber 2008 skirace.net reported on Mike Bemis’s condition Sadly 3.5 years later we are reporting that on Saturday 21st April 2012 Mike Bemis passed away. Mike was a US National Champion on multiple occasions. He was a lively presence on the beach and along with his skis, binding, handles, rope, tape and other accessories, will be missed by many.

Posted by on 22 Mar 2012 in Australia, Uncategorized | 0 comments

Sunday the 27th May 2012 heralds the 76th running of the Bridge to Bridge Power Boat Race on the picturesque Hawkesbury River. The Upper Hawkesbury Power Boat Club will again host the historic Power Boat event and have asked Ski Racing NSW to be a part of the event by holding the Ski Racing NSW 1 Up Bridge Ski Race. This year we have been limited to a total of 120 ski race boats. Although we are limited to 120 starters all SRA members not running the ski race are invited to run the Power Boat Race with the UHPBC. The UHPBC will issue a day licence for all SRA members who wish to run their boat up the river and this can be done with or without an observer. Unfortunately we are not able to include skiers from the Under 10’s classes in any class of racing for this event. As in previous years the Ski Racing will commence once the power boats have completed their event, with a proposed start time somewhere around 11am at Brooklyn . The start of the Ski Race will be as per previous years with ‘Grid Starts in classes’ the order of...
