NICK PARSONS ARRIVES COSTA RICA
 
COSTA RICA - 2009 World Slalom Champion, Nick Parsons, escaped winter's grasp and headed to Jim Kilsdonk's Water Ski Costa Rica for a few weeks.
 
Costa Rica offers such a great adventure. You can expect calm winds, some rain, some sun and most importantly - terrific waterskiing and lots of fun!
 
Water Ski Costa Rica's host, Jim Kilsdonk, does a terrific job coordinating all of the details for you so that the trip is really a pleasure.  You can water ski every day, zip-line through the rain forest, ride horses, see monkeys hanging from trees, watch flocks of parrots fly over head, and even look a giant iguana in the eye!
 
Water Ski Costa Rica is located 60 miles north of San Jose, Costa Rica. Daily direct flights are available on American, Continental, Frontier and Delta from several U.S. cities.

POWERVEST SUCCESS STORY!
 
ACAPULCO, MEXICO - An email was just recieved from David Hurwitz statingys,

"Hi Dave, after the major back spasms I had at the end of August, I was pretty concerned about skiing every day at Gordon Rathbun's.  
 
However, I got back last night after doing two sets a day for a week with my Powervest and had no problems!  
 
So, I just wanted to say thank you for making my week in Acapulco a success!"

The GOODE PowerVest System features PowerGrip Gloves, Power-Straps, a Load Distribution Panel (which is attached to the Power Waist-Belt) and a Vest to hold everything together and provide flotation.
The PowerVest System reduces load to your back in a similar fashion to that of a hiking backpack . You want to carry the load (or weight) on your hips, not your upper body and back.

By reducing excessive load forces to your upper body and back, the PowerVest reduces muscle fatigue, reduces the repetitive compressive load on your back and increases your strength and endurance.

Let the GOODE PowerVest System help take your skiing to the next level!

ENJOY THE SEASON!
 
  
 For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, the long winter season begins in less than two weeks!
 
 Winter weather has already hit! As water sports enthusiasts, we only have a few choices on how to survive.
 
Some of us will go into hibernation, like the bears do. Some of us will just deal with the challenges of winter and put up with it.
 Others will embrace winter and get out and  snow ski, snowboard or participate in another winter activity.
 
Many of us will escape to warmer climates, like Florida, Costa Rica or Mexico, to satisfy our water sports craving.
 
 
Whatever you choose, get out and enjoy the season!
