Lake Hamilton Waterki School
 Florida - USA

        

Here at Lake Hamilton Waterski School, slalom skiing is our specialty. We welcome skiers of all skill levels from beginner to expert. Our site has many advantages for the slalom skier. We have installed 5 slalom courses on our lake, strategically placed to provide smooth water in all wind conditions. We use the finest 3-event competition boat in the world, Correct Craft's Ski Nautique. We also use Perfect Pass's speed control, with all buoy electronic timing for consistent pulls with accurate speeds. Once again we focus on learning the proper technique to increase our personal best performances.
