For the first time ever, TWBC made an appearance at the Monaco Waterski Cup in Roquebrune Sur Argens, France. The event was hosted by the Monaco Water Ski Federation and organized by Greg Desfond and Alexis Keusseoglou. These two absolutely killed it with a wonderful skiing setup, engaging format, top tier food, and homages to Monaco’s racing heritage. Greg and Alexis were so committed to the overall experience that they even arranged to have a retired F1 car displayed near the spectator seating. Additionally, they partnered with Fast Lane Drive to have a wide array of exotic vehicles displayed along the shoreline. How’s that for yard decoration?
As cool as the theme was, that’s not the real reason people showed up. The skiing was easily the main event with some incredibly competitive moments, a fair share of drama, unpredictable conditions, and even a pending world record. This year’s event featured both slalom and trick, with a special twist implemented in the trick division. It’s been a running theory that trick is the only of the three skiing events where men and women are on an even playing field. Well the Monaco Waterski Cup decided to put that to the test and formed one combined division for all of the interested trick competitors. In total, 8 trickers opted in to try the fused division, including some first time Waterski Pro Tour participants. The most interesting part… if placements lined up with seeding, we would have a mixed gender podium.
