East Coast Ski Racing Series: Tweed River
The Tweed River is a beautiful river to ski on. It has many bends and turns, which can be challenging even for the expert classes. And there are also a few straights that can make racing very competitive. Nathan Walker, long term member of Tweed River Water Ski Club (TRWSC), has been skiing on the river since he was a child. He shares his passion for the sport and the many challenges and joys that come with running a club and hosting boat-towing events.
