No event in this country could ever be like the Southern 80, if i am not mistaken they have over 1000 skiers every year!!! your likely to get 20 in England

Would that not make good ski racing then? Just imagine 10 boats, 20 skiers. That sounds really exciting to me, maybe somebody should suggest to the BWSF that they stage such a race  or maybe i should just
