Before we got the opportunity in 2008 to ride on the Salmlake, we spent 3 summers riding at the danube. I can tell you, we had many good experiences and adventures on this river. If you compare the conditions to other rivers or lakes, the danube is really good for waterskiing. You are allowed to ride everywhere, there are no restricted areas like in all the german rivers. Most other lakes in austria it is almost impossible to get a licence, or there are already to many other boats and or its to windy.

Thats why I have to say: "Danube rocks" similary to the Fetzysworld Slogan from 2005: "Feel the lifestyle, ride the danube". I wanna thank you Mr. Jochen Russmann, he supported me in the first year as partner, driver and friend. Also a big thank you to Stefan Dorfner alias Do, he spent lot of time in the boat and was the men always there to help were ever he could.

In June 2008 the MYCN (Motor Yardclub Nibelungen) approached me.
They informed me that they dont use Lake 2 so much anymore but they still were paying the high lease. If they would stop the contract with the owner (Graf Salm), the lake would probably go back to the fisherman and will be lost for waterskiing forever.

The MYCN started over 10 years ago with building this Waterski Development Center and they did really good. Over the years they invested a few hundred thousend euros, to transform this one big lake into two perfectly sized, wave canceling boat lakes.
