HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - August 4, 2009) - Thousand Oaks, Kurk Homes and Darryl Moore's
Marine have pulled out all the stops for an upcoming three-day Water Skiing
Exhibition and clinic in Thousand Oaks. The clinic will commence on August
8, 2009 and continue through August 9, 2009. In addition, World Water Ski
Champion Mike Suyderhoud and World record holder Mike Royal will highlight
this water-ski extravaganza with an exhibition on Monday, August 10 at 5:00
pm.
The Thousand Oaks Subdivision on the south side of FM 1488 (12 miles west
of I-45 and two miles east of FM 149) sets the perfect backdrop for this
world-class water ski event with its large ski lakes and beautiful scenery.
Mike Suyderhoud and Mike Royal will be skiing individually as well as for
the first time together during the exhibition. Ski lessons with Suyderhoud
and demonstrations will also be provided during the clinic (sign-ups will
be held at the Kurk Homes Model Home in Thousand Oaks.) Reservations (281)
353-8537.
Water skiing would not be the sport we know today without the incredible
feats of Mike Suyderhoud. Regarded by many as one of the best water skiers
of all time, Suyderhoud has been crowned US Ski Champion an amazing 16
times, and is a five-time World Champion.
Record holder Mike Royal has never let his disability slow him down. Born
with the progressive eye disease retinitis pigmentosa, Royal became blind
by his mid-thirties. His positive philosophy of focusing on things he can
do, using tools to come up with creative solutions and refusing to let
others determine his limits has helped him overcome blind related
challenges. Royal has silenced all detractors. In May of this year, Royal
broke the 2007 record for the V1 "totally blind" category, making him a
World Record Holder. On July 4 and July 25, he unofficially broke two more
records, which are pending ratification by the International Water Ski
Federation.
Royal stated on his blog in reference to the Thousand Oaks event, "On
August 10th, I have the privilege of skiing with Mike Suyderhoud, a living
legend in the sport of water skiing. Suyderhoud is a 5 time overall World
Champion legend and first round inductee into the Water Skiing Hall of
Fame."
