Looking back at the 2010 Malibu Open

 

Wow....2010 Malibu Open... what a tournament...the best professional water ski tournament I have seen in my years around pro water skiing. Dana Reed took Milwaukee's Veteran's Park Lagoon, a location with crowd access and untested water skiing potential and turned it into the perfect venue to show case professional water skiing. The location, crowds and performances of the Malibu Open are just what our sport has been needing to revitalize pro water skiing in the United States/North America.  Hats off to Dana Reed and Malibu Boats for putting together the best pro water ski tournament that I have ever attended. To all the people who worked behind the scenes, sponsors, volunteers, officials and skiers - a job well done. Exactly what we have needed to put the excitement and attendance back in our sport.
