More on Water Sports.......
Waterski-Slalom skiing is the foundation upon which all towed watersports began. Performed on one ski, this is the skill that most beginner and novice skiers strive to accomplish, and what the elite skiers manage to make look effortless. In competitive Slalom the skier begins the pass on the left side of the course skiing through the red entrance gates, around all six bouys and out the exit gates completing one pass. Successive passes are then done at a higher speed then a shorter rope length once the maximum speed is reached. The winner is the one who goes around the most bouys.
Wakeboard-Like water skiing, which most people are at least familiar with, the wakeboarder is towed behind a boat, or a cable skiing lift at a speed of about 18-24 mph. The main difference is that Instead of skis, the boarder uses a single board (like a snowboard) with bindings. Wakeboards are shorter in length than snowboards and slightly wider.
Wakeskate-Evolving from skate boarding, Wakeskates are similar to wakeboards, but without bindings. The rider rides the board in a similar fashion to Skateboarding.
Wakesurf- Land locked surfing on the primary wake behind a boat. The boards are similar to Surfboards but tend to be smaller and lighter. The speeds, depending on the boat are between 8 and 15 KPH.
Barefoot-Yes, barefoot. No skis. Although barefoot slalom, trick and jump are very similar to traditional water ski events events, the major difference here is, you guessed it, participants do not wear skis.
Trick-is like standing on a bar of soap in a bathtub. Trick skiing is a discipline that demands a high level of balance, skill, and creativity. Unlike the other classic disciplines, you're up against the clock and are judged on the performance of your trick selections.
Jump-Ski jumping is by far the most extreme discipline in Classic, 3 event skiing, and has almost been perfected by Canada's reigning World Champion, Jaret Llewellyn. Performed on two specially designed skis, coupled with a helmet and padded wetsuit, contestants approach the ramp at lightening speeds, and can soar through the air at distances of up to 300 feet!There are two kinds of jumpers: Those that have been hurt and Those that will be hurt. Traveling the length of a football field in the air?
Kneeboard-A spinal jarring delight
