DUO MANAGES SKI MARATHON

Two Newcastle water skiers have completed an epic journey south.

The pair set off early Wednesday morning from Newcastle Harbour, to ski to Sydney.

Scott Curtis, 44, and Glenn Geary, 52, made it to the finish line outside the Sydney Opera House in three hours.

Averaging 40 to 50 kilometres an hour into a southerly swell and chop, the pair dodged a shark off The Entrance, but otherwise had an uneventful trip.

The effort was a fundraiser for childhood cancer research at the Hunter Medical Research Institute.
