Baller GAJ0004 Posted August 4, 2009 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2009 I am looking to go to a water ski school for slalom and tricks in November 2010. Any suggestions? I have spent one day with Lucky Lowe in 1991, 1 week with Mike Hazelwood in 1993, 1 week with Andy and Deena Mapple in 1995, 2 days with Jack Travers and 3 days with Bill Peterson in 2000. I try to hit a different one each time. I pick up something different at each one. Does Mike Suyderhoud still have his place in CA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Obermeier Posted August 4, 2009 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2009 Ditto Matt Rini. One of the nicest and most knowledgable people you'll ever meet. He has an uncanny knack for being able to find a way to get his point across to you no matter how technical or how simplified you need the information to be for you to be able to get it. Very patient and reasonable rates too. Highly recommended.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Dirt Posted August 4, 2009 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2009 Chet Raley is an outstanding slalom coach. I am not sure if he coaches trick. He is a Palm Beach Training Center. There is a website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gern Blanston Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I've gone to swiss ski school in Clermont 4 years in a row. I think Patrice is a very good and patient coach. My son and I skied with Seth Stisher for a day earlier this year and really enjoyed his personality, his facility, and his coaching style.  I would recommend both for slalom. I don't know if Seth does trick. They definitely have it at Swiss.

Baller ForrestGump Posted August 6, 2009 Baller Share Posted August 6, 2009 I would also highly recommend Jodi Fisher. He has a fabulous coaching style and really finds a way to get his students(especially kids) to understand the concept he's trying to teach.

Baller GAJ0004 Posted August 9, 2009 Author Baller Share Posted August 9, 2009 Thanks guys! I was at a clinic in Edinboro PA with Daniel Kennedy who trains April Coble-Eller. He was very good. He helped me clean up some rough spots at 28 and 32 off. He also gave me some tips on starting a wake 5 front on my trick ski. I will have to wait for my shoulder to completely heal before I try it though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted August 11, 2009 Baller Share Posted August 11, 2009 Daniel Kennedy is someone that you don't hear a lot about but he has been great with both me and my 10 year old when we have been to Cobles.  I get as much out of Daniel as I do from April. April does relate really well to kids though and my son gets a ton from April's input.
