We Love College Waterski

For this interview I sat down with Jarad Meyer, one of the people behind Lake Lovers Club and Twin Lakes Cornfest! We talked about all this ski, but really focused in on his specific efforts to grow the sport and make it more accessible for all to enjoy! 

Among those efforts include a goal of passing the handle to 1,000 brand new people this summer, promoting his interdiscipline event Twin Lakes Corn Fest, and other ideas that he and his crew are pursuing!

This week on We Love College Waterski we have a special episode! Guest Host Zoe Engle (from the University of Michigan) put together a panel of some of the amazing women who lead waterski teams across the country! They talk all about their experiences joining waterski teams, their inspirations, how they've perceived waterski culture, and much much more!  This is honestly my favorite episode to date, it's an hour long, but it is absolutely packed with great content, take some time, sit down, and listen to this great panel!  

Participants of this panel are leaders on the following waterski teams:
