This family run paddleboat business leased the lagoon to Dana Reed and now to The Pro Ski Tour, LLC for the Malibu Open. Please support this family.
After 16 years of social and environmental responsibility, a Milwaukee family has lost their paddle boat contract to a California corporation. This new company plans on offering services that may not be suitable, or safe for this small water reservoir.
Please write or call the following County Leaders to share your support for Juneau Park Paddleboats! Respectfully encourage our leaders to keep this business in the hands of the Ritters, a local, Milwaukee family.

 MANDURAH – IT'S A VERY RITZY LOCATION
Last year we saw our world's best Riders and Skiers perform for the very first time on the glorious blue Indian Ocean waters at this beautiful seaside City of Mandurah. Located just 72km south of Perth, the Mediterranean climate and pristine surroundings make this a special experience for all visitors. You do not have to look too far to see Dolphins, Whales, Pelicans and the famous Blue Manna Crabs. A network of man-made Canals has created a very ritzy community of high quality waterfront homes and Marinas. It all fits perfectly with the Waterski & World Cup brand.
So, are all the defending champions returning once again ? Well, almost. The only one missing on March 16/17 will be World Jump Record Holder, the great Natallia Berdnikova BLR. However, we will definitely see Jumpers Freddy Krueger and Ryan Dodd CAN, Shortboarders Aliagsei Zharnasek BLR and Clementine Lucine FRA, Wakeboarders Harley Clifford AUS and Raimi Merrit USA, plus a host of very strong contenders.
As the first Stop of 2013 and the 36th in the Series, nobody really knows who is fully ready for competition yet. Those based in Florida will have an advantage coming from warm climates. Those coming from Europe will be under more pressure but sometimes this helps !

The free Mandurah World Cup Stop Webcast will be available throughout from this coming Friday at : www.IWWF.tv
