GOODE Ski Lake. The water temperature was still 72 degrees and the air

in May, and to see her finish so strong at the FISU World
University Water Ski Championships, this October, is just
amazing.", said Dave Goode. "I think Regina really likes China!
Dawn and I were there in 2005 and we watched Regina win the Slalom
and Overall World

COMMENTS FROM BEN FAVRET AFTER HIS BIG DAWG VICTORY
"There is a big smile stuck on my face since the finals on Sunday
and I thank you for making it possible.", said Ben Favret.
"Your sponsorship and investment into the Big Dawg Series has
reinvigorated the sport of water skiing and made it more
entertaining for competitors, recreational skiers and sports fans
across the world. I have received no less than 100 emails, text
messages and phone calls from friends and ski fans with their
congratulations and all of them talk about how much they enjoyed
the webcast and event. I thank you on their behalf as well.", Ben
continues.
"This 43 year old body is sore after all that skiing this
weekend. But it is a good sore, the kind that keeps you wanting
more and knowing the work you put into something is working and
helping you to achieve your goals. After a few more days off it
will be time to start getting ready for next year's event and I am
sure it will be bigger and better than ever with your support!"
When talking about his new GOODE 9900SL, that he rode to the
Big Dawg Finals victory, Ben states, "You have to ski good, have
strength and endurance and get a little lucky to have a shot at
winning in the head to head format. I guess I had the right
balance of each on Sunday and got the win. To ski your best four
rounds in one day at super short rope you need a ski that is
consistent and predictable but still aggressive and fast."
Ben Favret has been skiing on GOODE Skis ever since the first
GOODE 9100 was introduced over 13 years ago.
