Lets Talk About Waterskiing
From
Ancient Egypt to South Dakota lakes, pyramids are always an amazing sight. The
Aqua Addicts were building pyramids on regular combo sets until '95 when they
got their first sets of double-wides. Double-wides were a Godsend! Since that
fateful day the Aberdeen Aqua Addicts have put up three tier pyramids pre-built
pyramids, and even an inverted pyramid or two. In 1998 the Aberdeen Aqua Addicts
put up their first successful four tier pyramid. The Aqua Addicts currently
perform two four tier pyramids.
The shows that the Aqua Addicts put on for the public would not be possible
without the boat drivers. We would like to thank them for all their hard work,
and then tease them a little, ha ha! Our boat drivers are nice guys at
the beginning of the day but they have been known
to
say "Not on MY boat" or "Not as long as I'M driving," and often with good cause
considering the level of insanity some of our skiers possess. We would like to
thank them for putting up with us and driving the boat.
The Aqua addicts picked up their first hydrodyne Feb., 1998 at Think Tank. It was a treat for the team to have a boat with some More power! In the Spring of 1999 the Aqua Addicts picked up its first inboard. The Addicts enjoyed their new toy "The Malibu". Since then the Aqua Addicts have also acquired a Moomba to enhance their shows.
2006 brought a new first for the Aqua Addicts; and perhaps show skiing in general. The Aberdeen Ethanol plant converted the team's first Malibu to an E85 powered craft. The E85 Malibu has become the fastest boat in the Aqua Addict fleet!
