We’re launching a new docuseries called ‘One small step’. The series follows ordinary people who’ve done extraordinary things, and the small steps that got them there. Often we see the results of hard work but rarely do we find out what it took to achieve greatness.
Life on the edge, episode 1, follows Fred, a world champion waterskier. Fred has committed his life to waterskiing, a sport that rarely gets much media coverage. In 2023 he won the waterskiing world championship, his greatest achievement. It was a long road to get there – years of cold days on the lake in the dead of winter, dealing with the pressure of competing, and the innate risk that comes with extreme sports. We meet Fred in the summer of 2024, recovering from a broken femur after a brutal collision with a dock – an accident which almost never happens in the sport. Fred recounts his rise to the world championships in the sport that’s changed his life, how he almost died in the crash, and the positivity he’s feeling around recovery.
The last of the EuroTour Vlogs is HERE! We end with a night slalom and what an event it is! Bumpy conditions mixed with this being many of the teams first time skiing in the Night showed for some fun times and challenging sets! Thank you to everyone for watching and supporting these VLOG’s and we will see you all in the next one!
Performing better than anyone in the history of sport is typically a rarity, something that so few have the privilege to achieve, yet when waterskiing comes to Jack Travers Sunset Lakes, the chances of witnessing a World Record increase dramatically.
Looking back to the 2021 World Championships at Sunset Lakes, Joel Poland, and Dorien Llewellyn were both pushing the boundaries of the Overall World Record during the preliminary round, with Joel taking over the top seed and setting a new World Record in the process. Fast forward 3 years and throughout the WWS Travers Cup, 3 World Records were broken again here at Sunset Lakes, yet this time both in the Open and U17 category within the Pro event.
Enjoy the excitement of this stop, and make sure to catch all four stops of the season! Up next, Polk City, Florida, for the final stop on October 18-19. Stay tuned and follow the journey to the Pro Tour Championship!
