Just caught the tail end of a Ester Williams movie ""Easy To Love". Must have been some corny love story but the water ski scenes were fabulous. 8 Correct Crafts, multiple skiers, multiple jumping, all in rough water. Definately some special effects but it was from the 50's. Pretty cool! ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4487" rel="nofollow - 1998 Ski Nautique |

I've got a DVD with just the waterski scene. I just watched it yesterday as one of my kids was home from college. It is pretty amazing. It must have taken weeks to make. ------------- |

Here it is. Definitely an inspiration for next years gatherings at Green Lake or Epsom.

Was Esther some kind of hottie in the 50s? She doesn't seem too bad, definitely gets douched at 3:20. Cool skiing. ------------- |

She was a competitive swimmer that got into movies. I had never seen the skiing one before and didnt know she did that, but the movies she starred in had huge synchronized swimming type extravaganzas with a zillion bathing beauties and fountains and exotic routines. Big deal in its day. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

A head forward double deepwater!
About 1/4 of the way in there was a boat running to the towboat's starboard that was churning mud. Reminds me of something I can't quite put my finger on. ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2331&sort=&pagenum=12&yrstart=1986&yrend=1990" rel="nofollow - 1988 BFN-sold "It's a Livin' Thing...What a Terrible Thing to Lose" ELO |
