3 simple words can make a big difference to a 13 year olds slalom technique. I had been struggling with upper back pain for a while (due to sub-optimal slalom position) and this pain made my position worse! But one tip helped change this and put me on the road to a better position and less back pain!

2022 Herb's Cup from Radar Skis on Vimeo.

Family, Format, and Feels.

Herb’s Cup is like no other slalom event in the world, and for good reason. This tournament is our representation of the creativity and innovative spirit of Herb O’Brien, the founder of Radar Skis and the godfather of modern-day waterskiing. With an emphasis on family, and fun we flipped the traditional rules of competitive waterskiing on its head and invited a handful of the most progressive skiers on the planet to compete for the honor of hoisting the Herb’s Cup high.

The Field

-       K.C. Wilson. K.C. has done it all, World Champ, National Champ, a decorated pro career and regarded as the smoothest skier in the business.

-       Joel Poland. The most buzz-worthy skier in the game. World Record Holder, World Champion, Poland works the hardest while having the most fun doing it.

-       Stephen Neveu. The tall Canadian, Big Nev: Pro Tour winner, World Champion and past Herb’s Cup winner.

-       Jamie Calhoun. The New Kid. Jamie is a disciple of Jason McClintock and skis with similar power and precision. Rife with potential, Jamie holds the keys to the future of shortline slalom skiing.

-       Corey Vaughn. Peace-Love Corey is on the short list of people to have ever run 41 Off. The defending Herb’s Cup Champion is also one of the most sought-after coaches in the world.

It’s the peak of tournament season and the guys talk about the best ways to prepare for a tournament and how to set yourself up for success!

Back in France but this time for the Lacanau Pro in an incredible lake! Nate ran 41off 3 times and the next best score was 4@41.I skied really well just half a buoy out of the finals but it's what I needed to train harder and get used to the new ski brand. Also, you can see Paige winning the first overall pro tournament hosted by WORLD WATERSKIERS with the main sponsor REDBULL.
