In February, Greg spent some time working at the boat show. The goal was to network with other people who love this sport and get them to join our group here in Utah. He sold a ski to a guy that mentioned he wanted to fly Greg down to Lake Powell to give him lessons. We thought it sounded great, but ski season was a ways away. Sure enough, Greg got a call a few weeks ago. They worked it out to go down this last weekend.
This is the private airplane Greg got to fly down on. Flight time was just over an hour. He couldn't believe that in the same time it takes to drive to Springville, he was in Lake Powell. On the flight home, he sat up front. He said it was one of THE COOLEST things he has done.
They stayed on the guy's houseboat at Hall's Crossing. Greg ran into some other foilers from Colorado as well as an old neighbor. Small world. He was living high.
They spent all day Saturday on the water. Greg was teaching for almost 8 hours straight. There were three couples that he taught. He also rode three times that day. What a long, hard day. I didn't feel that bad for him.
What a cool weekend. It is crazy that people have that kind of money. But hey, if you can't have it yourself, enjoy someone else's right? Of course, Greg had a wonderful time and hopes to go again. It was such a unique opportunity. I just wish I could go down with him. Maybe next year when the baby is older and I'm not nursing. Meanwhile, we have our clinic this Saturday. Hope we get a good turn out.

What an amazing experience! Hopefully they'll tell their friends and he may get a reoccuring gig out of that deal. Wow!
Good luck with the Fly In this weekend. I hope it is a huge success.
