I’ve been back in the states for a couple weeks now and have finally caught up on all my bills after being gone for over one month. We’re gearing up for spring ski school and have been receiving many calls even though the winter isn’t letting up in the Northern states! Everyone needs to start thinking about booking in even though your looking at white stuff outside your window because the weather has turned for the better in Sunny FL! Hope to see everyone soon! KSO
I have finally returned home after being gone for over two months and it feels good! Although, it’s going to take a week to catch up on all my mail and we’re getting ready for a busy spring ski school as well!
I leave in a couple days to be an instructor at Think Tank in Wisconsin but it’s a good time. I did a photo shoot for Waterskier the day after I arrived and I’ll be honest and say I wasn’t feeling up to it after flying for over 20 hours. haha
Again, it feels good to be back in the Red, White and Blue and looking forward to seeing everyone this spring and summer!

I’ll be flying out of Newcastle, Australia today after visiting with one of my top sponsors, HeadZone! I’d like to thank owner, Mark Ellis for the great hospitality! I fly up to Brisbane to visit a long time friend Matty Griffiths for the evening and then fly out the following day. I’m not looking forward to the long trip back to the states but I’ve been gone for over a month so it’s time to get back to reality! I’d like to say Thank You to all my sponsors and to everyone that has supported me.

We had a great party after I was awarded my Overall Medal and the US Team and I flew out of Wellington, New Zealand at 4:30pm the next day. I flew to Brisbane, Australia and Phil Jarret and I drove down to Grafton were I’m doing a clinic for two weeks on the beautiful Clarence River. It’s going to be quite relaxing since we’re out in the bush as they say down here…Out in the country that is with many kangaroo’s hoping around.
The Championship hasn’t set in yet but I’ll let everone know when it does. I’d like to thank all my sponsors and everyone that has supported me in the past! This is a dream come true!
