Show notes

Marcus Brown is a World Class Professional Waterskier, accomplished filmmaker, and amazing person. He has positively impacted the lives of thousands of people over the course of his professional skiing career, as an ambassador for the sport of water skiing, through his short films and documentaries, and connecting with communities across America.

As a professional waterskier, Marcus was ranked #3 in the world for the Men’s Slalom event and competed at the highest levels on the world stage. The slalom event entails a skier being towed behind a ski boat that is traveling 36 mph straight down a narrow boat path while the skier must zig and zag around six staggered buoys that are approximately 150 feet apart (3 on each side of the boat path) and where the skier is accelerating to speeds upwards of 70+ mph between buoys.

Marcus’ many accomplishments include the Gold Medal at the Moomba Masters in Melbourne, Australia, 1st place at the University World’s championship in China, tying a Collegiate All-Star tournament record of 2 buoys at 41’ off, and 1st place at the US Open.

In addition to skiing, Marcus is an advocate for the sport of water skiing and an accomplished filmmaker and drone pilot. He created the Face to Face tour where he traveled across America to interact with people in local communities and offer free ski clinics to expose people to the sport.

Today, Marcus resides in Northern California where he skis, coaches skiers, and is building a business that offers online water ski instruction, preparation, and coaching so anyone can benefit from Marcus’ expertise and years of experience as a pro skier.

Marcus can be found on numerous social media channels, including Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
