Extractions: Recreational skiiers typically use two skis â other techniques abound. Wakeboarding is a similar sport, combining water skiing and surfing Water skiing is a sport and recreational activity invented in Lake City, Minnesota in by Ralph Samuelson and is popular in many countries around the world where appropriate conditions exist - an expanse of water unaffected by wave motion. Rivers lakes , and sheltered bays are all popular for water skiing. Standard water skis were originally made of wood but now are usually constructed out of fibreglass -based composites . They are of similar length to downhill snow skis but are somewhat wider. Instead of a rigid binding, they have rubber molded binding, in which the skier's feet are placed. Skiers are pulled along by a rope with a handle fitted at one end and attached to a powerboat at the other. Recreational skiers usually learn to ski with a ski on each foot , but as they improve usually progress to using a single ski, placing the other foot into another binding behind the main one. Beginners on two skis are usually pulled along at around 25-35 kilometers per hour, whereas more advanced social skiers travel at between 40 and 55 kilometers per hour - once confidence is gained it is actually easier to travel faster than at slower speeds because of the greater lift and stability. Some even go without skis at all in a feat called " barefoot skiing Within the confines of being pulled along by the boat, skiers can control their direction by

USA Water Ski Profile As a recreational Sport. Throughout its history water skiing has closely paralleled the development of recreational boating in its appeal to the general http://www.usawaterski.org/pages/USA-WS Profile.htm
Extractions: The Beginning Water skiing was invented in the United States in 1922 when Minnesotan Ralph Samuelson built the first pair of skis and was towed on them behind an outboard-powered boat. What Samuelson originated became an exhibition sport on both sides of the Atlantic in the 1920s and early 1930s. It developed officially into a competitive sport in 1939 when the American Water Ski Association (AWSA) was organized and held the first annual National Water Ski Championships at Jones Beach, Long Island, New York. As a Recreational Sport Throughout its history water skiing has closely paralleled the development of recreational boating in its appeal to the general public. Over the years it has shown almost continuous, sustained growth. Surveys of sports participation show that there are roughly 11 million water skiers in the United States. The Competitive Sport Interest in competitive water skiing has grown considerably over the years and continues to attract many more enthusiasts. USA Water Ski now sanctions more than 900 tournaments each season. These range from small, local events for novices to national and world-level tournaments for more experienced competitors. Male and female skiers of all ages can compete in traditional three-event (slalom, tricks, jumping) tournaments, as well as in tournaments for barefoot, kneeboard, show ski, collegiate, ski race, wakeboard and physically challenged skiers.
