“For the last 23 years I've been fortunate enough to be professional racer. This year I will be donating all my prize money that I earn each weekend to the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. 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).
