Nice video! I never knew Glenn had a warm side, I have only seen him on snow.
I was on the mountain with him at the first 'Extreme Ski Competition' near Valdez Alaska. I watched him ski a sick line that few people could
survive, he truly lives on the edge!
Despite his growing fame at the time, and radical Mohawk, I was surprised to find that he was a regular guy with just enough ego to allow him to ski
cliffs!
By the way, I was not competing, my ski patrol was serving on the rescue team.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

We call it "waterskier's heaven"; warm water, no other boats & unlimited runs. I used to wonder why nobody would ever waterski down there;
figured there had to be a reason. Nope; just lack of people.

I got bit by the waterski bug about 2 years ago here in San Diego. I ski Carlsbad lagoon 2-3 times per week. Still loving it. I stayed at Bob and
Susan's last year and water skied off an old Tahiti 2 stroke outboard that I keep in Abreojos. I loved Mulege. Great ski spot. Wish I could keep a
boat there and fly in. How do you like Glenn's old Tahiti jet boat, brings back memories. Last time I was in Abreojos I even skied behind a jetski.
Can't get enough of it.

Nice video, thanks!!
Always wondered about hardly ever seeing any water skiers around the very calm waters here in Loreto and Nopolo/Loreto Bay.
Seems like ideal skiing location.
