MAIN Recreation Beaches Water Skiing

Whether your idea of water skiing is two skis, one or barefoot...getting pulled by a boat, a kite, or a trained tuna... there's something about the feeling of gliding on water as you skim through the waves that keeps you coming back, no matter how many times you get dunked!

These sites also feature how to's & tips on safety and technique that will make it even fun gliding across the ocean ...

USA Water Ski - This is the site of the National Governing Body for organized water skiing in the United States - the address is on Holy Cow Road - which fits the information on the site. Schools, camps, competition news, articles, ads for equipment and links to cover anything they may have missed.

Footer's Home Page - Skip the home page and get right into the tips and techniques for barefoot water skiing. Simple instructions and pictures to explain anything that may be confusing should have you walking - or barefooting - on water in no time.

Wakeboarder - Think of a skateboard without wheels, or a snowboard, on the water - behind a boat - using the wake as the ramp to gain height. Tricky with a small boat, but with a boat over 22 feet cruising at a good clip... extreme! This site covers the basics and the pros with photos, forum and lots of other goodies.

Shuswap Lake Waterski and Wakeboard Centre - At first glance this looks like a pro shop - because it is. It is also one of the best resources on this topic online. Take a look...

Waterski Online - The online version of the magazine is a well done professional site. Plenty of good articles and interesting tidbits, but the best section is the forum where you can get advice on anything water ski or wakeboard related.
