back in the 50's and 60's Northland Ski Company made water skis at the Laconia plant. My uncle was a testor for the alpine skis. he was able to get test and demos for my dad and we use to try them out and give feed back. Before the company folded, they made a tunneled, grooved, cancave slalom ski out of hickory. It was well mannered and hook like crazy! I had that ski for years until it started to delaminate in the mid 90's. Everyone loves to borrow the ski.

The old wooden Chris crafts made excellent ski boats in the days. Nice solid boats that runs true when you turn sharpely on slalom. Later the Glastrons were the best in fiberglass boats.

Everyone in the family was good at taking off on one ski, standing on the dock. And landing on the beach running. Pretty slick. Skiing at sunrise and at sunset was the best. As the water most of the time is like glass.

C'est la Vie.
