From Greg Davis...

What an awesome day. Perfect conditions, fantastic skiing,  Great Hospitality, by Hosts,  and all the terrific people at Short Line Lakes in Ca.    Some incredible skiing!  It would be my guess, that the 34 mph record is going to fall this year, the PCM Powered, Ski Nautique, equipped with the GPS Based zero Off speed control is taking things to a new level.  The guys are starting to figure out how to take advantage of how Zero works.   Greg Badal, (THE 20007 SKI NAUTIQUE BIG DAWG CHAMPION), told several of his competitors how to maximize the benefits of Zero off, and (after understanding how to take advantage of how Zero works), most of them picked up several buoys, and they were nipping and barking at Gregs bindings,  However the dude (Greg), ran 2 at 41 and looked very confident running multiple 39 offs, on his way to winning.   The Final four, and the elite eight, are up on the web for viewing,  sweet sixteen up in a few hours.  http://www.watersportswebcasts.com/bigdawg       Congratulations to Greg Badal, on his new HO Ski, 1st,  Dave Miller, Dave was on a Goode 9800, 2nd and the number 13 seed, Bruce Dodd,  HO ski  3rd.    Scott Larson was rippin it on his D-3 ski.  4th.   Congratulations to these Big Dawgs.   Scott Larson ran back to back 39s and ended up 4th ??????/   how could that happen?  Only at the Big Dawg.   Check out the web cast.   Please send web site to all the friends and fellow skiers, ask the to check out the action.
