Bridge to Bridge Water Ski Classic Sat 12th & Sun 13th November

The Bridge to Bridge Water Ski Classic is a water ski race that is run in the opposite direction from the usual Hawkesbury events. It starts from Dangar Island and ends at Windsor New South Wales Water Ski Classic 2011 will be on Sat 12th and Sun 13th November.

This is its 50th year. It is the longest continuous ski race in the world - 111 kilometres from Dangar Island to Windsor.  It started in 1961 and the winning boat, Yogi Bear, took 1hr 33mins to complete the race. Since then things have changed remarkably - the current record is only 38mins 57 sec.

There is an "under 10 years" class and one smooth skier has completed the Bridge to Bridge race backwards - twice. It is run by the NSW Water Ski Federation and their website is http://www.waterskinsw.com.au/
