Personal Watercraft Insurance, Dream Week Water Skiing In Acapulco
An experimental slalom course at Gordon Rathbun’s Ski Paradise in Acapulco, Mexico, called the “ambidextrous course” by Rathbun, allows skiers to enter the gates from either their on-or offside turn. “I always wondered if it were an advantage for right foot-forward skiers to start the slalom course edging through the wakes from their good-side lean,” he says. “And what better way to test this than by installing a mirror image course with six buoys on each side.”
Rathbun’s been dreaming about cutting edge slalom technique, slalom course rule amendments and most likely just about everything related to the sport since he first hosted guests in Acapulco 27 years ago. The self-described water-ski junkie hails from Seattle and has taught thousands of people how to ski. His first-class operation continues to be a top draw for slalom rookies and high-end skiers alike.
