I've been blessed with an amazing life and 2 children, I hope my donation can help kids that are sick and need help. Over the last 2 weekends I've earned $6,200 for them. Follow along my journey and if anyone would like additional information on how to help, please let me know.”

Also promising edge-of-the-seat (or sand) finishes this season is the large Pro-Am Ski GP class. 15-strong, the field is packed with the sport's top athletes fighting for the hole shot and dodging each other's wake at each turn. The Motzouris brothers, Dustin and Tyron bookended the top three at Pensacola, with Dustin taking first and Tyron taking third. Chris Macclugage dominated the class on Sunday, nailing down two first place moto finishes to overcome his ninth-place finish in moto 1 on Saturday to claim second place overall for Round 2. Jimmy Wilson, to tied together two firsts and a second place in Panama City Beach to take the top podium spot in Round 1, finished out Round 2 in 5th place behind Brock Austin in 4th despite winning moto 1 on Saturday. The crowded class was far from static, as each moto saw a shuffling of finishes. Bill Haig slipped a spot each time on the water, with a 5th place in Moto 1, 6th in moto 2 and 7th in moto 3 to finish in 6th place overall, while Josh Block added up a 6th, 7th and 8th place finish to end up with 7th overall. David Redinger, who earned a 3rd place overall finish in PCB, claimed second place in moto 1 at Pensacola, but struggled on Sunday, finishing in 5th in moto 2 and overcoming a mid-round stumble in moto 3 to finish last and ending up in 8th place overall. Closing out the class were Zach Spring (9th), Pete Zernick (10th), Broc Harris (11th), Mike Kelberer (12th), Jordon Carroll (13th), David Cabrera (14th), and #6 Nick Spring (15th).

In the Sport Stock Class, Sam Nehme repeated his PCB overall win, despite slipping in the third moto, coming in second to Ken Waddle, who took third place overall in Pensacola. William Beers took second overall in the class, a huge jump from his 11th place PCB finish. Keith Dill, who secured second place overall in the First Round in PCB, finished 4th in Pensacola. Rounding out the division were Jeff Mcphail (5th), Morgan Beers (6th), Gage Schoenherr (7th), Logan Hayes (8th), Chad Eggleston (9th), and Kyle Hayes (10th).

In Pro Freestyle, Chris Langlais and Mark Gomez swapped podium steps. Gomez, who took the win at Panama City Beach in Round 1, took second place overall at Pensacola, falling behind Langlais, who tied together an impressive string of flips, rolls and stunts on Sunday to beat out Gomez's slight Saturday lead. Freestyler Jeff Lutker, splitting off from the Pro and Amateur competitions to feature his old-school style tricks in a new division, Freestyle 800, again was a crowd favorite with a routine that focused less on amplitude and more on attitude.

The Junior Class divisions saw some place swapping from the PCB finishes, with #94 Matthew Richuk, who ended the PCB first round in second place in Junior Ski Stock 13-15 division, swept all three motos, taking first place overall in Pensacola, while PCB first-place finisher AJ Luinstra fell to second place overall in Pensacola. Finishing out the 13-15 class were Wyatt Hayes (3rd), Bret Underhill taking 4th in his hometown, and Logan Lutker in 5th. In the Junior Ski Stock 10-12 class, Haden Skellett continued his strong showing despite some technical difficulties that put him in second place behind Sammy Nehme in moto 1. Haden took first in Sunday's motos to again take the first place overall finish, with Nehme walking away with the second place overall finish. Taylor Skellet upped her fourth-place PCB finish with a podium spot in Pensacola, earning third overall with progressively stronger finishes over the weekend, taking fourth in moto 1, third in moto 2 and 2nd in moto 3. #116 Devin Farthing finished out the class in 4th.
