Awarded in 

Geno Yauchler began his journey into the Water Ski Hall of Fame in 1976 when he learned to water ski. By 1988, he was recognized as the most valuable skier on the USA Water Ski Show Team, and has never looked back. 


Geno, the ultimate showman, has had a long and storied career on the water.  He can ski on or with anything. He's a hydrofoil athlete, wakeboarder, barefooter, freestyle jumper, and this guy is truly "off the chain" in promoting all aspects of towed water sports.
