The St. Norbert Water Ski Club is kicking off the spring season by hosting an inner-team tournament on April 26th. "[The tournament] will help draw more people in and bring some attention to a new club that has only been around for six years. "It'll help the community and bring a lot of people to the campus, and it'll show that we actually utilize the river," Said Jay Reilly the club treasurer
The tournament, which will feature wakeboarding and bare-foot events as well as a figure-8 tournament, will be sponsored by Shipyard Marine, a boatyard out of Green Bay, which will cover the majority of the costs including gas, boats, and officials.
The Water Ski Club is active in both the spring and the fall. The spring season runs from April 1 until the end of the school year and costs $50 to join, while the longer fall season can run as long as September to early November and costs $100.
"Joining the club is a great way to learn how to ski," said Reilly. "Some members of the team have been skiing since they've been three or four years old and are happy to teach what they know."
The purpose of the club is simple: "to get out and take advantage of the water we have here," said Reilly. "It's a great way to socialize and meet new people."
As for the river, Reilly says, "it's not hard to be in at all. Don't be afraid of the Fox. It's not as bad as people say it is."
