Ski Patriots Salute to America Show
- Since the Ski Patriots are an LBCA-sponsored event, the GA DNR was consulted to ensure the Ski Patriots are complying with all applicable laws. The Ski Patriots strive to produce the smallest wake possible while pulling eight skiers.
- We ask that all boat drivers maintain a courtesy no-wake policy when the Ski Patriots are in their area.
- The Ski Patriots always need skiers! Want to join in? Click here.
