Wind rushing past you. The spray of the water in your face. This is the thrill of water skiing. It all started when Ralph Samuelson an enthusiast of snow skiing thought why can't people ski on water? As a result water skiing was created in 1922. As it has gained popularity people across the world have learned the sport. Nowdays people have formed clubs and created new forms of water skiing such as slalom skiing, racing, and show skiing. Accordingly people across the world now hold competition for these events with the first world championships in 1980, and now every two years. I hope that this website will teach people about the thrill of water skiing and everything about the sport.
