(Episode 4) On the Road: A Chat with Friends at Rhineland Valley Lake in Missouri

SUMMARY: 

This episode of Ski With Wade takes place not far from the Missouri site where Wade had his first-ever pro tour win ever, back in 1989, followed by another title just a few years later. It’s a sentimental journey that also has the feel of old home week, with a family reunion-style chat with old friends from the area. 

You’ll hear Wade’s check-in with the gang, and also get the scoop on Wake Effects by Big Thunder Marine. Whether you need additional water sports equipment, life jackets, cool swimsuits or a new boat, you can find this fantastic outfitter online or onsite at Missouri’s Osage Beach, Lake of the Ozarks.

TOPICS COVERED:  

·      A little bit about what’s up and who’s sponsoring the podcast.
