Jul 01, 2006; ... Rusty, an ex-Navy Seal team leader and now low-key owner of a boat repair yard, is playing it cool.

Expression session: we put together a Sea-Doo, a photographer and two of the hottest wakeskaters on the planet, then stepped back to watch the fun.(Photograph)
Jul 01, 2006; ... Removed from their immediate surroundings, Aaron Reed and Reed Hansen look like just another pair of skaters. With deceptive ease, they kick the boards under their feet through flips and spins, ollie up onto and then slide, bonk or grind a variety of obstacles, and even occasionally--OK ...

Jul 01, 2006 ... Wakeskaters may be increasingly choosing a PWC as the tow boat of choice, but lately one PWC manufacturer, Sea-Doo, has been returning the favor. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] The appropriately titled Sea-Doo Wake is based on the company's popular GTX, sporting the same ...
Lean cuisine.(TEAM TESTED)
Jul 01, 2006 ... Spaghetti may be great for dinner, but nobody likes it when it describes the tangle of wires coming out of your trailer.
