 In their third year, the Brainerd Ski Loons are off showing off their water ski skills this summer. Our Sarah Winkelman was there as they hosted a water ski show on Ray Slake in Loom Park. Peter Pan, Captain Hook and Tinkerbell were all out skiing at Lumpark yesterday evening. The Brainerd Ski Loons put on their show Peter Pan Ski Ventures in Neverland. Playing Peter Pan was director Chris Dent, who started the group back in 2015. Some people have been on water skis or did tubing, things like that. But as far as all the stuff that you'd see at one of our shows, nobody had any idea. So we had a lot of fun teaching everybody from the ground up. The team includes members ages 7 to 67 that all share a common love of being out on the water. It's the intergenerational team aspect. It's cliche there's no eye and team, but everybody's got a niche to do, they do it. We've got old people like young people, energizing old people, and it's a very fun family intergenerational activity. Sometimes locals forget to go out and enjoy their own lakes, but the Brainerd Ski Loons are just one way that locals get to showcase their lakes to tourists and area residents alike. So we fell in love with the show and actually it's been a dream of mine to always be part of a ski show. So I was this close to joining this year, but hopefully maybe next year I can try it. So I wanted to bring everybody back here to watch it. Some of the team members recall when they first tried show skiing and how it was not as hard as they originally thought. Easy. Yeah. Everyone, I always tell people to join and they're like, I can't even ski, but I'm like, it doesn't matter. They'll teach you and it's not as hard as you think it is. The non-profit organization aims to build character and confidence while teaching the art of performance through teamwork. It's been really fun to see a lot of the young ones grow and develop and see their confidence builds and hearing stories from parents when they're at home about how ski team has impacted their lives. The Brainerd Ski Loons are grateful for the community support to show off the natural beauty in the heart of Lake Country. Reporting in Brainerd, Sarah Winkleman, Lakeland News.
