New Moomba team member - Slalom Skier of the Year

New Moomba team member named
Slalom Skier
of the Year…and that’s not all

It was a year of firsts for Terry Winter in 2006. He won his first tournament as a professional slalom skier – the Pro Shootout. He signed his first contract with Skier’s Choice becoming the first professional skier to use the Moomba Outback boat. He was named Slalom Skier of the Year by USA Water Ski, the national governing body for organized water skiing in the U.S. And oh yeah, he got married, too. He and Kristen Hayes were married on the beach in Mexico in November.

Terry Winter is the first Skier’s Choice rider
to use the Moomba Outback.

“It was the most incredible year of my life,” says the 28-year-old champion. “It’s hard to believe so many great things happened. It sets the stage for a phenomenal year in 2007.”

Winter has little time to rest. He’s busy now training for the upcoming Moomba Masters, which are held in Australia during March.

“Terry is a big-time talent,” says Rick Tinker, President of Skier’s Choice. “He’s at the top of his game and we’re proud that he’ll represent us by showing what the Moomba Outback can do for the best professional slalom skier on the water.”

The Moomba Outback packs tons of performance in a boat with a selling price starting at less than $30,000. The direct-drive shaft and powerful Indmar V-8 engine make the boat ideal for skiers.

“Both the people from the factory and the dealer have been great to work with,” says Winter. “I was able to order exactly what I wanted. They got it built and out to me quickly, and the dealer even delivered it to me at the lake with a full tank of gas. I’m stoked to have a brand new boat and I look forward to building my relationship with Moomba.” American Marine Sports in Rancho Cordova, California is the dealer.

Standard features on Moomba include a Vesconite dripless shaft, EZ Cruise Speed Control, a new gelcoat pattern, new carpet, new stereo and upgraded cabin appointments.

“There’s not a better buy in the boat business than Moomba,” says Tinker. “And there’s not a better skier than Terry Winter. We’ve got a great combination going on. And we can’t wait to see what Terry and the Moomba Outback accomplish in ’07.”
