Best California Water Ski Lakes

When we visited one of the best California water ski lakes, one of our retirement travel goals was to meet interesting people and hear their stories. This week we visited a water skiing couple from Northern California that we had met at a New Mexico restaurant. So hang on to the rope as we watch some amazing water skiing slalom action at their Villa Lagos Ski Lake home near Red Bluff, California. Eric has been slalom skiing, jumping, and barefoot skiing for over 50 years. You can learn more about their story and the private ski lake they built. We also helped them with a catfish farming harvest, and Bev plays some “unusual” golf holes on their property. We had so much fun meeting these new friends and learning more about their water skiing passion in Northern California.

Before we visited these amazing private water ski lakes near Red Bluff, we made a stop in Gilroy, California. Gilroy is known for garlic, but also for their amazing taco trail. We had some fun by attempting to eat one taco in 24 different restaurants in 24 hours. It was a little unhealthy, but so much fun. Check out the video here.
