EP70: Waterski Pro Tour
27/04/21 00:18 Filed in: Dock Time
This episode of The Water Ski Podcast is the announcement of the launch of Waterski Pro Tour!
As many of you might have heard through different interviews published in recent times, Matteo has been involved in a project aimed at redacting the former Elite Points into simpler and easier-to-understand Pro Points. This new categorization was approved by the IWWF Tournament Council, thereby sanctioning this as the new format. The next step and the major mission was to unify all these exciting tournaments under one central website and social media where to follow the feats of the best water skiers in the world. Waterski Pro Tour is to grow the sport through the promotion of professional waterski events into a unified tour.
Put waterskiprotour.com on your bookmarks, follow @waterskiprotour on Instagram, and get ready to watch Swiss Pro Slalom, the first stop of the Waterski Pro Tour!

EP69: Ski Talk with Bruce Reid
14/04/21 23:02 Filed in: Ski Talk
Welcome back to The Water Ski Podcast!
After a brief brake, Matteo is back with a new guest and a very rich episode!
Episode 69 is with Bruce Reid! Bruce is a former World Championship medalist, Pro Tour competitor, and orthopedic surgeon. Matteo connected with Bruce in October after joining a wok group within the IWWF Medical Committee. The goal of this group is to update on and off water protocols for concussion recognition and management, as well as spread awareness and education about brain injuries. The work captained by Bruce and with the involvement of several volunteers has led to a number of innovations in the sport when it comes to concussions.
You can visit the documentation and videos being produced at iwwf.sport/concussion
Another tool to be familiar with is the On Water Concussion Recognition Tool (OWCRT), a simple step-by-step early recognition tool we should all be familiar with.
Finally, another great app to download is Concussion Ed!
Sit back and enjoy this rich and very informative chat!
