Skiing the Murray River

[GreenMan]

It used to be Summer here in Australia...

Was just reminiscing with some footage from my Christmas present GoPro - thought I'd try my first YouTube upload.

Gotta love hearing that Monsoon 340 burbling up the River.

Thanks to Squeak and Harty for crewing the boat.

Nice!! Glass for miles or kilometers

If I could make one small suggestion it would be to try flipping your grip. Looks like you are left foot forward. Try left hand palm down and right hand palm up. Might feel weird at first.

Thanks, Hoppy.

Interesting suggestion - I recall some years ago looking into this and discussing with some comp skiers I know and working out that I was doing it 'wrong'. Had a couple of goes at changing but, yes, it felt too weird! Maybe I'm just too old and just a hack skier and too stubborn to change - then again, if I think about it next season, maybe I'll try and force the change.

Appreciate the advice.

Regards, Stephen.

Oh yeah, re the 'glass for miles' - I noticed that when I got back in the boat I was actually complaining that some of the water was recalcitrant enough to have so much as a ripple on it. Bloody hard to please...!

Haha! If the grip is working for ya I wouldn't worry about it too much. A lot of skiing is comfort and personal preference. If it's working for ya go with it!

Good skiing green man. But bloody hell you've just shown the world our little piece of paradise. Now everyone is going to want to come. Thank goodness there's only two and a half thousand Kilometres to share....

I can assure you, I was a little apprehensive about posting it for that very reason!

Should put some up of peak season when it's like the inside of a washing machine for about six weeks...

Love the sound of our V8s.

When that video was shot we where having our brutal winter ... one of the coldest snowiest ones on record.

I will make sure to send you a video half way thru to keep the spirits up! The wife is a bit of a photography nut, she loves to get sunset pics in the boat.

Stephen,

I never did get a chance to ski the Murray but that looks good. I did get in some skiing at Hazlewood Ponds a few years ago with my son's Uni ski team and that was quite interesting in the middle of a Victorian winter! I also made it to Sale (Esso Longford) many times and always enjoyed at overnight in Sale.
