Skiing on 5, 6 and 7
Oct
What fanatastic
conditions! Sea like a mill pond and brilliant skiing.
Only spoilt by the driver/instructor.
Seriously, Reg,
it was great to make such a big improvement in my slaloming and I couldn't
have done it without your help.
As always, we solved all the world's
problems in the Victoria Cafe afterwards.
Looking forward to the
next time.

Tenerife - Sun, Sea and Skireg, what a combination!
- Tony
Howe 02 /04 /2013
Back a week now and just recovered from
my latest battles, with the sea and Reg.
It's funny how you arrive in Tenerife
after a year away and go down to Puerto Colon wondering what's new. So I walked
along the pontoon to find that, of course, nothing had changed. Same boat at the same mooring................but no Reg.
He's usually there before me, so he must have over slept, but came up with some
excuse.
Naturally, Reg started with an insult, even before we
went skiing. I saw him in the street, and he blanked me. It was only because
Mary was with him that he felt he had to speak. I wonder why I bother, until we
get in the water.
Mono-skiing, the first
after a year was really hard, but lots of fun. Next time I met Andy
and Duncan. Duncan was learning, so before we went out Reg
took him off for a private session. Don't know what they got up to, but Duncan
had a smile on his face.............. and at the third
attempt he'd cracked it! Well done!
Coffee after the skiing and Reg comes out with his fund of stories. This time he tells
us that he was once asked to be a stand in for Jack Nicholson. My first thought
"yeah, right!" Then it struck me that Jack Nicholson is a wizened,
miserable, Guy who can't ski. Where would you find a competent skiier to fit that description???
Clients Do Not believe Me when I tell them that I have a
Very Hard Life out here ??? Yet I insult this Guy every time He comes , in the HOPE of changing His Nature – No Chance . see above – Have Fun Tony my Friend .

Hi Reg 07/April/2013
Hope you’re doing ok and struggling on as ever it was a truly
humbling experience to see just how hard a life some people have and it has
truly made me appreciate how easy I have it at home! Thanks for a great week,
skiing, coffee, tour guide, imaginary street performers you name it I had it!
But seriously I recon if you can get me up and skiing
you can get any one up, shame my best run was obscured by the mid-morning full
moon!!
So when you’ve put your Barraquito
down and climbed down from your hammock you can stick this up on your guest
book.- Duncan
Allen – Thanks Reg

"March 2013. Just back from a week in
Tenerife with my son. I had a great week of skiing, but I think my son
was a bit apprehensive having heard about Reg over
the past years that I have been going. However, for a change, Reg was being quite restrained and polite (apart from to me
- but you let that wash over you, don't you?!). However, on our last day, Reg changed.... Gone were the polite and helpful
suggestions - back came the 'basic, graphical approach'!! As this is a public
document, I won't go into details, but those of you who have known Reg as long as I have will certainly have experienced this
'teaching method'! But - it worked!! I think my son may need time to get over
the shock, but we both had a great time! Thanks. Reg!"

Was it really 10 years
ago that I made a comment in your guest book? I know we have been at least a couple of times since then but failed
to make comments in your guest book. Now to make
amends for this omission….
My husband (Lew) and I
have just had our first foreign holiday together without our girls in over 16
years. It was just like old times… except better…
as we really enjoyed the freedom of being free to focus on
just what we wanted to do. Which involved skiing every morning the
water would allow,
a total of 5 out of 6 possible days. Having skied for
over 20 years with Reg it has lost none of its thrill
and excitement. It makes me feel
20 years younger
when I am out on the water Mono Skiing and I know I have a massive smile on my
face each time. All the cares and
responsibilities of home life forgotten in a moment of
PURE ENJOYMENT. Here's to next year
..…
If anyone is wondering,,, our two girls were not left home alone. They both
had a very enjoyable holiday with the school snow skiing in Italy.
So we are not
totally selfish and irresponsible!

“Finally got back to Tenerife after an absence of
about 2 ½ years. Having
made sure that Reg was still engaged in his ‘hard
life’ I booked the week out for skiing (after all, that’s why I went!) So, less
than 12 hours after getting off the plane, it was down to Puerto Colon bright
and early and, after a quick refresher on dry land, it was into the boat and
out to sea. Life vest on, plunged into the Atlantic, skis on and then, to my
surprise, up first pull! What a buzz! The week passed all too quickly and, for
once, I was ‘praised’ for my progress and listening ability. Very little of the
customary abuse!! On a serious note, though, however much banter and
light-heartedness goes on on the boat, underlying
everything is Reg’s concern for the safety of
everyone – not just in the boat or being pulled behind it, but divers, swimmers
and other craft. Reg – you are still ‘The Man’ when
it comes to water skiing! I agree with other entries – why would you do it in a
wetsuit in a cold lake in UK?? Had a great time – really feel that I had
improved (listening as well as skiing!) and above all, you’re right – life
doesn’t end at 60!!!”

Hi Reg,
Hope you're well. Finally
getting round to emailing you.
Many thanks for my first lesson back in
December - and for your patience! I had lots of fun and am looking forward to
having another go at it. Already looking forward to my next
trip to Tenerife and more water-skiing. There's nothing like sea, sun
and skiing.
All the best for the new
year. See you in 2012!
Best wishes,

I've been diagnosed with PSRSD after
returning from my trip to Tenerife. The doc said it's cumulative and addictive
and brought on by systematic insults and abuse over a number of years. The only
cure is to stop visiting Tenerife and especially not to ski. The problem is
I've been skiing with Reg for 25 years now. He taught
me to mono and I have a brilliant time skiing, but the insults are really
getting to me.
What should I do?
I guess I'll put up with
it and keep seeking the high behind the boat - the most fun you can have
standing up.
What is PSRSD you
ask?
Post Ski Reg Stress Disorder.
PS.
The real reason I go is for the coffee at the Victoria Cafe. It's always nice
to have a coffee after performing.
Reg, it was great to see you again and
love to Mary

Acabo
de volverme una adicta al esquí acuático! Llevo ya 6
clases con Reg y estoy enganchada :). Cada clase es
una aventura, una injección de energía y adrenalina,
en un entorno natural precioso - aguas azules, sol y con vistas
panorámicas del Teide y las montañas, incluso he llegado a ver peces
voladores mientras esquiaba! Es uno de los
deportes más divertidos que he hecho, y Reg es
un profesor fantástico quien a la primera ya te consigue
poner de pie sobre los esquís y cada día te va a aportando otro pequeño
reto para ir consolidando tu base y hacerte sentir cómodo y seguro. No te lo
pierdas!!! Gracias Reg por
esta super experiencia!!!

abrazo Rosy 20JULY 2010
I have now been on 6 lessons with Reg and I am totally hooked, and I will definitely
continue! Every time I am learning something new and getting better, in a fun
and efortless way! He is an amazing instructor and
if you follow his advise you will be on your skies
before than you will think! I absolutely recommend trying water skiing, it is exhilarating, an energy booster, fast
and fun! Getting yourself up and swinging from one side to the other, on
waves or flat water is one of the most fun things I have done. Dont miss out on this opportunity with Reg!! Un abrazo Rosy |

Dave Sutherland to
skiing 23 July looking forward to our return in OCT
Hello Reg & Mary,
hope you are both keeping well, I am looking
forward when we are back in October, to moving up now to learn Mono Ski-ing & then onto the ski jumps that you have just around
the Harbour entrance, cant
wait to make Reg's life harder than he has now ha ha ha, as you know, my Wife &
myself were first timers not really knowing what to expect from this ski-ing adventure, but we thought we would give it a go & I
have to be honest & say that I enjoyed the first land lesson the best with
you, looking at the 'Milkman Position', that was great, but it was just as good
when we hit the water & a real adrenalin buzz when you got me up ski-ing, that I just had to come back for several more lessons
with you, not only because it was really good enjoyable relaxing fun, which you
made sure we both had during the lessons, but it was also totally great to be
able to learn something really new! away from the
normal Holiday excursions & something that my Wife & myself could enjoy
& do together.
As the saying go's, 'you
can't learn an old dog new tricks', well Reg, I think
you may have broke that myth, as you have taught this oldish
dog something new, along with some tricks as well. On a final note, I mentioned
to you when we were chatting one day & would like to point out as well
again, but your Safety thoughts & considerations for everyone that you
teach, are really outstanding & it does pay off big time to listen to your
advice, not just where Safety is concerned, but during the lessons as well, I
am so glad you teach the way you do & that I LISTENED to you, why? because I truly enjoyed the new experience & I am not
suffering from any aches or pains, had i not listened
to your good advice, I am so sure that I would be feeling some after pain now.
I would always highly recommend to anyone who has
never tried this great sport before & wanted to give it a shot, to mail you
for a booking & not to wander about the Island looking at some of the
tempting alternatives that maybe on offer.

Jenni 22nd
July 2009
Had a great time skiing as usual. Next
time i wont
need as much warm up hopefully with the monoskiing.
People keep asking why i dont
just do it here in Scotland. Let me think! Sun, bikini, sea, sand, heat, good
teacher ,nice people or Dull, rain, wetsuit,inland
lake, medeocre teaching, different people everytime. Think I know what I would prefer. See you again
in October.
Hope Mary got on ok with her pilates
thing. 22nd July 2009

Comments: Hi Reg, you were more FUN than what any
human deserves. Thanks for being patient with me, getting up on the Wakeboard.
If only I listened to you the first time, it would have been much easier. I
would recommend Ski Reg for learning Wakeboarding or
Waterskiing, or anything else he can teach you. This man is a 1 in a million
talent, thanks again...
Kind Regards, Jaques

Schon Wochen vor unserer Abreise
nach Teneriffa war in den Augen von Daniel die Vorfreude
auf die bevorstehenden Wasserski-Exkursionen
zu
sehen. Nach verdrehtem Knie nur wenige Tage
vor dem Hinflug
ging der Kelch an ihm vorüber
und die Reihe war recht unverhofft an mir, einer
blutigen Wasserski-Anfängerin.Die
Kombination aus ruhiger Instruktion, Sicherheitsaspekt und gebündeltem
Spaßfaktor ist einfach perfekt!!! Leute, gebt Euch
in die
Hände und Anweisungen von
Ski-Reg und ihr werdet neben dem
Muskelkater Eures Lebens eine wundervolle
und vor allem bleibende Erfahrung
glücklichster Momente im Urlaubsgepäck nach Hause tragen……..Reg, Dir ein extra Dankeschön für die tolle Stunde!!! Hasta la proxima! Melanie
A couple of weeks before our trip to Tenerife, the eyes of Daniel started to
shine while he was thinking about waterskiing with Reg. His
damaged knee one week before the trip gave the chance to ski to me, who has
never skied before.The combination of the nice
instructions, safety and fun is perfect! So, everybody! Go and see Reg and you’ll collect one of the happiest moments of your
life!!!!!! on your holiday at Tenerife…….as well as
the aching muscles

2008/9/28 Chad Hooper C.Hooper@indigocross.co.uk Well, I haven't yet
experienced Ski Reg's skiing school, but I understand
he comes highly recommended.
Personally, though, I can recommend having Reg as a guest at your wedding – he’ll certainly liven it up!!! Chad Hooper The Rum Jungle Chad and Jo
Alright Reg and Mary!! If we’re ever in Tenerife, we’ll be
sure to track you down.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I recently visited Tenerife for the first time for 2 or 3 years. I
planned to go water skiing with Reg as I had been
successfully taught how to do it on my previous visit and was really looking
forward to trying it again. It must be his age but Reg
has gone very low key these days - no more the
flamboyant salesman of yester year! Until, that is, you give him an opening! Reg has a very modest operation - but don't let that put
you off. He is a stickler for safety and goes to great lengths to make sure
that all his 'pupils' are fully aware of all the measures in place to protect
them. All skiers wear life vests so nothing is left to chance. The tuition
starts on dry land - Reg explaining (quite
graphically!) and demonstrating the technique for 'getting up' onto the
skis. Then it's off to sea. Everyone has a part to play from dropping
marker buoys to photographer! This is all part of the fun - as well, of course,
as Reg's colourful banter!
I had initially signed up for just a couple of sessions but the
experience is so exhilarating that I just had to go back for another couple!
It is very true that it can be exhausting - but only if you don't
listen to Reg's instructions and try to 'pull the
boat out of the water'. As he says, "Blokes are the worst pupils - they
just don't listen and believe it is a macho contest between them and the boat!
Of course, there can only be one winner in such a contest - boat wins every
time!"I loved it! I can't wait to go back! Thoroughly
recommended and great value for money. Tuesday, September 02, 2008 Andy Allen

Hi Reg,
Thank you for your patience in my first lesson of water-ski.
Your lesson before we went on boat helped me much. You were right when you told
that all secret of water-ski is to listened you. I will be back for 100% next
time when I get to Tenerife. Thanks once again,

Dearest Reg
I am finally writing in your guest book. Had a great time over the summer and thanks to you have progressed from being jenni one leg from Edinburgh to Jenni the Mono- skier. Has a good ring to it doesn't it. As usual met some really nice people when skiing with you and had a good laugh. Believe there are going to be a few of us there in October so don't go on holiday this time. Thanks to you and Mary for being great friends and I'm definatly coming for the summer again next year.
See you in October JENNIFER SCOTT September 03, 2008 3:48 PM --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
Hi Reg!!!
Jillian and Gareth here, the couple from Glasgow!!..finally
got round to dropping you a line!
Just wanted to say what a great time we had waterskiing with
you! (I'll collect 10 euros from you next time we're
over!) In all honesty though... was
the highlight of our holiday and we have really been bitten by the 'ski reg' bug! Great tuition, professional approach and a top
laugh when we were out on the water!
You'll be our first port of call on our return to Tenerife! Gareth has a
point to prove as he is still convinced he is better than me... 'WHAT A PRAT!'
Really was a pleasure to meet you, take good care of yourself and Mary
and we'll hopefully see you in the not to distant
future!
All the best! Gareth and Jillian x

Hi Reg,
Finally! I click onto your website after many years of
promising to do so……and I just want to say how much I have enjoyed my water
ski-ing experience with you. Each year in
November I look forward to my holiday in Tenerife and ski-ing
with you is part of that holiday experience, when I think of

"Reg
is good value. On the first outing, he had me up on the skis and on the second,
skiing a proper distance!! Not quite competition standard yet, but not
bad for an absolute beginner on the wrong side of 55. Patience and
psychology, touched with a good sense of humour were
all part of the SkiReg package. Great fun!"

April 16, 2008 9:03 AM Hello there to the
infamous Ski Reg.....AS SEEN ON TV!!!
Now you are so famous I suppose I will have to book months in advance to
get any ski dates with you at all! It was a wonderful surprise to see you
on TV
on the Rough Guide program teaching that gorgeous TV presenter how to
ski. However I was disappointed that you didn't give her a big kiss as
she got
back into the boat as a reward for being yet another successful Ski Reg Graduate. If you've given up on kissing for some
ridiculous health and
safety reason then I think that I'm going to have to find another ski
instructor!
Apart from the sun and the friendly people in Tenerife, you are the only
reason I go to Tenerife...for the skiing that is (!) and I can hardly wait
until August when I'll be mono skiing. Mind you...if Mary should ever get fed up of you
then........XX All our love to you both in sunny
Tenerife

Hi there Reg & Mary its Jenni stand on one leg from Edinburgh
Your
TV performance impressed me so much. Had a great time ski-ing.I'm
going to change my name to Jenni
skiing on one leg now.
Really felt I improved a lot this time. Wish I
was back there. See you in October if not before .
Still looking to maybe try working out there during
the Summer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reg just wanted to drop you
a line, to say thanks for a great time Skiing, I thoroughly enjoyed my ski
and Peter and his son Tom, were great company too. I will hopefully
be out in October and have booked 2 weeks next April already, so I'll make sure
to get more than one session done this time. Once again thanks very much and
look forward to seeing you again very soon, oh and keep off them pancakes
they'll affect your moonies!!
Cheers

thank you for taking the time to teach me how to ski, you are the best at the
job you do

Terug in belgië missen we
alweer het water onder onze voeten. Voor de eerste keer en na
reg's grappige uitleg stonden we na 5 minuten recht
op de waterski's.
Daarbij is reg niet alleen een ervaren
coach maar ook fulltime grappenmaker en filosoof. Een aangename tijd op het water dus.
Tip: boek vanaf je eerste dag van aankomst, dan ga
je zeker iedere dag terug.
Janis en Kris, Belguim
( our English try)
Back in Belguim we already
miss the water under our feets. For the first time
and after Reg's funny explination,
we stood after 5 minutes on the waterski.Beside a
very experienced coach is Reg also a fulltime joker
and philosopher. A very joyful time on the water.
tip: book from your arrival day, it's so addictable
you sure come back every day.
Janis en Kris, Belguim

myself managing to go on one ski but you even managed to get me up on a
wakeboard
in just 3 attempts and i'd never even seen a
wakeboard before, anyone who
says they can't ski just needs to come and see you as in all the times i've
been out with you i have never seen anyone fail to
ski. thanks for another
brilliant time and bring on my next holiday. see you
again soon from richard

Hi ski-reg

water ski and u made it fun whilst learning. Was a great experience and if
martin lets me, i would definately
want to come bk n go water -
skiing again next summer. Something to look forward to.
Worth every penny of it. Was
great holiday for me as it was my first time and your water-skiing made
it even better. I hope i get the chance to go

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi reg
Its martin from last week. Just wanted to say how good
it was to be skiing
out there with you again. I learnt a lot this time and it was also good to
hear that you enjoyed it as well. I finally remembered to actually email you
this time, just. Nick wants to say his thanks and praises as well as he
really enjoyed it. We couldn't make it out a final time due to money, hope
thats ok. I'l definately want to come out
again in easter and david said he

look away when you pull down your shorts or at least give me a warning.
Write back when you get the chance

A big thanks for
all the fun we had with you whilst in Tenerife, both on and off the water.
Alison and I have coined a new phrase called 'Going For A Regie !'
every time we go to the loo to do a bit of business.
It must be reassuring for you to know you are still
very much in our thoughts. We will never get over the thrill of that
first time
you manage to
come up out of the water on your ski's, we are down in North Wales next week so
may have to give it another go.
Say a big hello to Mary for us. We very much
appreciated the time she spent with us in the gym
You are a very inspirational couple.
I enjoyed reading the messages on your website.
Is it legal to 'Moon' from
a speedboat???

fun! Will definitely be coming back and giving bare foot skiing a go!! Ian x"

"Hiya Reg, thanks so much for getting me up on the water...I
never thought it was going to happen! The biggest prize was the mooney you
pulled, I won't
forget it! Thanks and see you again in Tenerife for more fun on the boat! Gill

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Reg
Was really good to see you again after a break of 12
years since I was
living down in Tenerife and skiing with you every week. 5 hilarious minutes
in your company and I felt like I'd never been away!!!
Going out with Mark and Jade who hadn't been before and you telling them how
good I was put me under a bit of pressure but the old 'Ski Reg'
magic meant
I was up again on the 1st pull. It was nice to know that I can still
"perform" after all those years, shame you had to spoil my moment of
glory
by bearing your wrinkly arse though (Oops, sorry
Mary, I meant "bottom").
The old "jelly legs" were a laugh too because I'd forgotten that
getting
back in the boat after skiing is sometimes the hardest bit!
Cheers Reg, look after yourself mate. We'll not be
leaving it so long before
returning to Tenerife and we'll be there for 2 weeks next April, when my
target will be to go Mono. Take
care, Jon 18 June 2006 22:30 j.wood.2000@ntlworld.com

-Hi
Reg
Thanks for a great couple of ski lessons. I really enjoyed the
lessons they were so much fun, so much fun that I
forgot to stop
laughing each time I let go of the rope. I
was only planning on the
one lesson but I ended up having two and I am so glad I did. I've
already started saving for next time and cant wait to
see the mooney
again and the kiss on the cheek.Even scatty blonde cows can get up and ski.
Say thanks to Mary for all her help with my mum and me in the gym.

Thanks Reg. A great
holiday as always. Thanks for all you have done for us over the last few
holidays. You have made those holidays special. Great fun, lots of jokes and
the best instructor around. Summing up, you taught Tom to wakeboard and then to
Mono; you taught Hannah to Mono and you are still teaching me, but I am getting
there. Most important of all and why you get the thumbs up from Maureen is that
you put safety first..
All you first timers if you haven’t been
able to ski before, Reg will get you there…. safely
Thanks Reg. Luv
to MaryBest

And yet another fine holiday of Sun, Sea and most
importantly of all WATERSKIING! This time I learnt that you don't even
need to be good at maths to ski! Just be
prepared to have a great time. My husband and two girls love to see there mum act even more mad than usual - but what fun we
all have! If anyone is looking to have a good time on holiday and may be
try something a bit different I suggest you try skiing with Ski Reg - you will wonder why you did not do it before!
We really enjoyed relaxing in your apartment
too. Such a lovely setting for either relaxing by the pool or coast line
walks. Thanks for a great time and introducing us to another set of fine
people. See you again soon and lots of love from the UK, Hertford.

Hi Crazy Cockney, this is the Mad Scotsman. chris-totten@lineone.net
<chris-totten@lineone.net>13 May 2006
When I saw your photo come up on the home page I had
to roll about the floor for a few minutes - I know some of these sites are for
adults only, but do you really want to scare the kids and put them off skiing
before they have even set foot in Tenerife??
Fortunately your teaching
more than makes up for your boat race. For a 55 year old overweight underfit pupil, to get up 3 times in half an hour was well
beyond my expectations. It was like it says on the tin -
"ski till knackered", my arms are now 6 inches longer
Send our love to Mary and make sure she keeps feeding
you raw haggis to improve your looks!! -- Till next time, slainth

Reg - John here mate, thanks for a cracking
morning of waterskiing, haven't skied for 15 years and was still crap!! I'm
waiting for Sean to send over the pictures he took, so if there are any good
ones, I'll send them over to you. Here's looking forward to a couple of days
out on the ocean next Easter!Cheers

Hi Reg! thanks
for a great morning of water skiing. It was my first time and, as promised
you got me skiing in no time! But of course the mooney
was the best bit! I'll definatley be back to do it
again and show Simon my new skills! Good on you for getting my Dad out there
too!
See you again, hi to Mary, love Karen kasaspinall@hotmail.com 19 March 2006 15

Hi Reg,
Just a quick e-mail to say thanks for the lessons. To say I wasn't intending to have any and ended up having 3 in
under a week is a testimony to your ability to teach and make it great fun
at the same time. Started off bobbing along behind the boat and
finished up zig zagging
like a pro (well sort of!)
Anyway enough of the compliments or you won't be able to get thru'
the Gym door. Looking forward to some more next time we're in Tenerife.
Managed to recover the photos with some downloaded free software so I
now have the evidence as well as the memorieSay Hello
to Mary and get the baraquittas (probably spelt that
wrong!) con liqueur ordered!!NeilNeil Aspinall neil_a@blueyonder.co.uk 15 March 2006

Crap web site, pity about the skiing!! Apart from
that, Reg and Mary are great to have around when you
break a couple of ribs and spend 5 nights in hospital You guys have been good mates
for so many years now and this summer, you surpassed yourselves, visiting me in
hospital and meeting up for drinks when I got out. What can I say except you
don't get that from . other ski instructors and anyone
wanting to ski in Tenerife would be a fool not to come to you for lots of abuse
.............Oh and good coaching And by the way, it was Reg
who got me up on one ski............many years ago
Sorry the ribs prevented me from wakeboarding this year.Just
in case anyone's wondering, the broken ribs were not from skiing. I got them
for making a pass at Mary!! Love to Mary............and Reg Tony Tony Howe <tonyhowe@waitrose.com>

When I think what was the
most exciting during my vacantion in Tenerife, it was
certainly the time on the skis. I wasn't quite sure if I would like it, but it
turned out that I loved it. Too bad I waited until the second week to take my
first lessons. But I'm already looking forward meeting you and Mary again.
Thanks a lot for the fantastic time. For the doubters =>
Don't hesitate: just waterski
with Reg!!Jo Bongaerts

“Enjoyed
my two sessions with Ski Reg he got me up ski-ing on my first session …… not bad for a fat and forty
plus. On the second session a couple of days later he towed me for
a really good distance, the technique was clicking into place really
well. Reg’s tuition and coaching tips are
excellent…..even if the jokes are corny!! …….. Keep up the good work.
Cheers Mark.”

Hi Reg, apart from the skiing fun I had, I just
wanted to add that the beach front appartment
(as shown on your site) where I stayed last week was fabulous. To wake up in
the morning and be greeted by that truly stunning view from the private terrace
was really amazing. The accommodation, gardens and swimming pools were
all wonderful and I will definately come back
and stay there again - it made for a great holiday, thanks - John.

Want to
ski? Then get an edge and book a lesson from Ski Reg.
He
welcomes experts & beginners, his tips ensure they end up winners.
It's safe,
exciting and lots of fun, all under Tenerife's golden sun.
He is a
legend, and with good reason, so 'get on up' with Reg
this season!

Mark HEMPSALL mh@manx.net 8/5/2005 Hey
Reg, A big wet cold kiss.............ooooops sorry my man its an
"official" e-mail!!!; from the Isle of Man-us men dont
use tongues do we reg?! Well what can I say, had a
great time and was made even better by you...Can honestly say that I have been
a "holiday" water skier all my life-picked up lots of bad habits
along the way etc etc etc
and only decided to water ski the second week, went 3 times, under your expert
eye I really can now say I can water ski and I
wish I had gone skiing that first week perhaps that second week I would have
gone mono?! Its my next goal
and I hope you are the one to teach me. I can hand on heart recommend anyone to
you knowing they will be totally safe in your hands and know they will have a
good time...especially around the "naked" water skiing season!!! Reg, as a Personal Trainer working in the industry for
years, having (blow own trumpet time) many professional athletes and champions
I find your unique style of teaching a truly fresh breathe of air, I am even
going to "borrow" a few of your teaching techniques and ideas...my
wife says I have to drop the cave-man attitude though!!! ;-) . If you ever find
your way lost and bored of the hard life you lead in Tenerife, you will always
be welcome to stay with us-and of course Mary, up here in the Isle Of Man...Can't wait to see you mono a 15
footer behind my fishing boat- dont laugh it has a 40
Hp Yamaha!!! Reg, it was a pleasure to meet you, I
hope we can stay in touch and see you soon, happy skiing, Kindest regards,
Mark, Sam (+Bump) & Bobbie, thankyou.

Skiied with Reg
in late June for the second time and had an absolute blast. Both myself and Abbie were zig-zagging behind the boat by the end of the week and

Ski Reg
is one sexy beast, if you can't get up with him you can't get up with anyone!
Seriously give it a go you really do ski till knackered, its the best tuition in Tenerife and the most fun (i still practise every day on the
toilet). I've gone out many a time with Ski Reg and its always a blast. Go on you know you want to!!!! All the
best Reg, keep it real buddy.

Reg. What a fantastic time we had on
your boat this summer. Never done it before - and thought I was going to be one
of them plonkers who never could! BUT, your
perseverance paid off, and I managed to "get it up" after abou 5 attempts, and stayed up for a mile or so. Good job,
as my son Ryan got up first time! Didn't want to be shown up! Looking forward to doing it again sometime. Got some great photos. Thanks, and all the
best mate. Paul (Sheffield).

Reg, Thanks for another great holiday
for all the family. The Skiing was out of this world. Every year it gets better
... moving from a basic beginner to a mono with deep water starts ... what more
can life offer? Here's to next years improvements ...
In the mean time don't work too hard - I know it is tough out there in the Sun!

Had a
great time skiing with Ski Reg. It was one of the highlights of our vacation
because of Reg's fun loving relaxed attitude. Ski Reg was as much fun as the Skiing. Whole family got
something out of it. Reg's ski instruction was also
very helpful. Strongly recommend finding Ski Reg if
you want to have fun. Thanks Reg, Garrett

Hi, Reg!
Just a brief note to say what a thrill it was to actually manage to ski -
didn't think I'd do it! As you said, great incentive
to lose weight! Looking forward to the next trip to Tenerife
- and to becoming even more proficient. Havenbeen
to Thorpe Park yet - too cold.....! Best Wishes, Andy
