More than 330 expected to compete at Whitestone lake
By Michael Moore
Over 300 water skiers from
all over the Southeast will jump,
turn, flip and spin across
Whitestone Lakes next week at
USA Water Ski’s Southern
Region Water Ski
Championships.
The skiing will begin
Thursday, July 26 at 8 a.m., and
last during daylight hours until
Sunday afternoon, according to
A. J. Petrillo, a competitor in the
upcoming event and a property
owner at Whitestone Lake
Estates.
It is the second year in a row
that the Southern Region contest
will be held at the Talking Rock
site, which was extensively
upgraded last year in anticipa
tion of the 2006 championships.
The Whitestone Ski Club,
which consists of property own
ers and other frequent skiers
who use the site, is sponsoring
the event for USA Water Ski.
Admission for spectators is
free. Bleachers are set up along
the lakes, though lawn chairs are
encouraged. Refreshments will
also be available for sale.
Whitestone Lake Estates is
located on Old Highway Five,
about five miles south of Ellijay.
Competitors will participate
in three events - slalom, trick
and jump.
In slalom, skiers will negoti
ate a series of turns around sta
tionary buoys in a zigzag pattern
through the water.
In the trick category, skiers
will make two passes from one
end of the lake to the other,
attempting to complete a num
ber of tricks along the way, such
as 360s, 540s, flips, and spins.
One of the trick passes will be a
toe pass, in which the partici
pant executes tricks with no
hands, and only a foot in the toe
harness attached to the rope,
Petrillo explained.
And jumpers will (not quite
so) simply hit a ramp on top of
the water and fly through the air
as far as they can before landing

Whitestone Lake Estates, Old Highway 5, will host the Southern Regional championships
beginning July 26. Spectators are welcome to watch the jumps, flips and spins for free.
upright on the lake. “Some
[skiers] will be hoping to push
two hundred feet,” said Petrillo,
who will compete in all three
events.
Petrillo said last year about
330 skiers competed in the
Southern Regional, and they are
expecting more this year.
Skiers from 9 to 80 years old
will be divided into age groups
for the competition.
The top five in each age
group and each event will
advance to the USA Water Ski
national championships, which
will take place in Bakersfield,
California, August 13 to August
18.
