Maritime Museum Seeks Stories
Did waterskiing play a role in your family's history at Lake Tahoe? The Tahoe Maritime Museum has identified a unique area of Lake Tahoe maritime history that is often over-looked. Waterskiing has been a popular past time at the lake for many years and the museum is developing an exhibit to highlight the history of waterskiing at the Lake, which will be unveiled this coming summer. The museum is interested in hearing from Museum members and supporters who are past waterski champions at various competitive levels, individuals who would like to share their oral history, old home movies, memorabilia, historic photographs and memories of waterskiing on the Lake, and from those who own historically accurate ski boats representing the evolution of the boat side of waterskiing.

Local Film Accepted Into Festival
Truckee’s Rocky Romano and his “Go Big Project” have received notice that their film “Ride a Wave” has been accepted into the upcoming X-Dance Film Festival. Held in Salt Lake City, UT, and coinciding with the Sundance Film Festival, the week-long X-Dance brings together the top action sport filmmakers and athletes to showcase their films. The Go Big Project’s “Ride a Wave” was one of only nine short films selected. “Ride A Wave” is the story of one man’s dream, the people who have helped make it a reality, the children and families they affect, and the compelling spirit of the community known as “Surf City.” Professional and amateur surfers, lifeguards, volunteer firefighters, doctors, EMTs, technology and business professionals, authors, actors, real estate agents, and marine scientists from Santa Cruz volunteer their time to give special needs and disadvantaged youth the thrill of catching a wave — for most, the experience of a lifetime.
