Pat Ewald of Extreme Watersports Center took home the Gold Fin Firkin at the 2010 Extreme Head-to-Head. The Head-to-Head closed out the second season of the Buckeye Buoy Tour with a Head-to-Head record, 47 skiers, over two days. Extreme Watersports Center was forced to run two lakes to get over 130 finished for the day. The Final Four skiers in the Winner's Bracket came down to Jason Anderson vs Pat Ewald and Justin Ady vs Curtis Kolb. Ewald and Ady advanced to the finals where Ewald ran a season best .5 buoy @ 32 off for the win. Debbie Kern of Skiers Runway won the Last Chance Bracket for a 5th place finish on the day. On top of a 5th place finish, Kern also set a new W5 State Record of 3.5 buoys @ 28 off 32 mph, last set by Mary Lambert in 2007 with 1 @ 28 off. Nate Smith of Indiana, the top seed of the day, put up the largest scores and new lake records with 2 @ 41 off 36 mph in the first round and 3 @ 41 off 36 mph in the second round! Kyle Dammeyer of Shortline Shores was just one buoy shy of the 25 year old M1 State Slalom Record of 4 @ 38 off 36 mph. The Head-to-Head played host to 12 different skiers participating in their first tournament ever!
Extreme ran two lakes all day for trick and jump on Sunday. Kyle Dammeyer finished off a great season of trick skiing with a new personal best 2,320 points and the win in trick. Nick Perrino took home his 9th top 3 Buckeye Buoy Tour finish taking 2nd in trick and Laura Boehm rounded out the top 3. Laura Boehm wasn't calling it a day with tricks however, two solid rounds gave herself the win in jump followed by Kyle Dammeyer in 2nd and Mason Mechler who had the top jump of 124 feet on the day taking 3rd place.
Thank you to all the officials and members of Extreme Watersports Center who put on a huge event!

Ohio Wins the Team competition at Regionals! |
|
In past years at Regionals, Ohio seemed to be leading the State Competition at regionals after day two and then another state would come on strong on the last day and snatch the lead away from us. Not this year! Ohio finished first with 13901 NOPS points followed closely by Illinois with 13733 NOPS points. Finishing third was Michigan with 12922. The state competition is decided by taking the top 4 NOPS points in each Event from each state. Kayla McClure has to be the MVP of team Ohio, earning 3211 NOPS points by placing in the top 4 in each event.
