DAVIDSON -
Something new and dif
ferent In the sporting world
has been added to Lake
Norman, Duke Power
Company’s massive
recreational lake near
Charlotte, North Carolina.
“In fact,’’ says Dale
Newport from New Lon
don, N. C., General
Manager of the North
(Carolina Water Ski School,
"I’m very surprised that
no one has ever done this
before. Water skiing Is be
coming the fastest growing
family sport In the coun
try, and up to this point, no
one has offered Instruction
in all phsises of this super
fun activity.’’
The North Carolina
Water Ski School just off I-
77 In Iredell County on a
semi-private lake will offer
Instruction In slalom.
Jumping and trick skiing.
With two tournament
Hydrodyne’s tow boats, the
school will have no
problem keeping It’s
students busy riding over
the regulation water ski
Jump or running their
metric slalom course. Plus
there Is plenty of room to
practice tricking and bare-
tootlng as well.
“This Is one of the main
reasons for stsirtlng the
school,” says Newport.
"With all the boats and
skiers In our area, to do,
teach the very beginner to
the advanced skier who
wants to get Into competi
tive water skiing.’’
Chief Instructor Kyle
Ledbetter from Marlon, N.
C. agrees with Newport.
Ihe reason Ledbetter Is
working tor the sch(x>l this
year Is to get that con-
slstant practice he hopes
will earn him a spot in the
National Water Ski
Tournament to be held
later this summer In
Michigan.
“A lot of very fine people
have helped us this year,”
Newport added. ’’Char
lotte’s Sportshack Ltd. has
arranged for us to have
Connelly, EP, Stinger,
O’Brien, Maharaja and
Vector demonstrators plus
all the other equipment
needed. That means our
students only have to bring
themselves.
In addition, to a regular
weekly sche(iule that will
run through the summer
the North Carolina Water
Ski School will offer
evening classes for those
who work during the day
and weekend skiing for
Qiose with Saturdays and
Sundays off. There Is also
limited boarding for skiers
who want to stay for the
week.
"One of the main
problems on our lakes and
rivers today Is that so few
people are really awrare of
how to safely operate a
boat and water ski. We
want to have a good time.
Improve the water skiing
ability of all those who
attend, but also teach
everyone how to safely
conduct themselves while
participating in what has
become my favorite
sport,’’ concluded New
port.
