Blind Ski Clinic Program


The Blind Ski Program provides sight impaired children and adults with the opportunity of hands-on instruction and interaction of water sports presented by Members of the SDMBB&SC and our Ski Teams.

We align the Blind Ski Program with such institutes as The Braille Institute, Blind Community Center, and the San Diego  Center for the Blind.

History of The Blind Ski Program

The Blind Ski program was started in 1963 by Santo Lo Presto (Sandy) and was the only Blind Water Skiing instruction program in the County. Sandy was the second most decorated hero in World War II under Audie Murphy. He passed away in 1989. He was a colorful Italian character and a great man!

Ron George was Blind Ski Director following the passing of Santo Lo Presto and returned 2007. He has been involved with the Blind Ski Program for 40 years. Ron states "you don't need a boat to volunteer. Help can be serving the kids on the beach or helping back at the Club with lunch after skiing." The program continues each year from May through September with over 200 participants each year.
