 Water Warrior
to Ski Across the Atlantic

  Steve Fontaine is on a mission. He's planning to water ski across the Atlantic Ocean. Now 42 years old, Steve has held several Guinness World Records for endurance water skiing and exuberates the energy that most 20 year olds wish they had. On top of endurance water skiing, Steve's a family man and has worked diligently for more then ten years in his irrigation business.
When asked what motivates him, Steve simply states "My challenge is to do something nobody has done before. Some people view it as a death wish. But I've been doing it for so long... It's just that I'm good at it."

     While in training, Steve starts his day with a 12 mile ski run and stays in the water for another hour or two, and then he goes to work or the day. He breaks around 11a.m. and takes swims across the Florida Intracoastal Waterway. On many occasions, Steve has ducked underwater to avoid speed-boats while he was training. In addition, there were evenings that he would ski for three or four hours, sometimes more. Steve has even trained himself to avoid falling asleep by driving 
up  mountains while staying awake for two days! Steve doesn't consider himself seriously training unless he's getting up before dawn and doing 200 sit-ups, 15 minutes of jump rope, pull-ups, bike riding about 30 miles, then skiing four to six hours.
Steve takes Warrior and Recovazon to help him, as he would say, stay on his skis. "After using Warrior and Recovazon, I doubled my workout regimen; on top of that my recovery time has improved dramatically. I would never have been able to train like this without these products."

     Fontaine broke his first world record after skiing 46 hours and 1,321 miles. Less than a year later he went back out and set the backward barefoot record of one hour, 27 minutes and three seconds. And Steve continues to break records... "I feel like I've got a calling" Steve says. "My calling is to be the first to ski across the Atlantic Ocean. I'm obsessed with the thought." Fontaine continues, "I'm a hundred billion times over-anxious. I've already been through the record and the crossing upstairs in my dreams."
