introduced by Scottish explorer, John

in 1866.
Unlike the usual water sports, water skiing is
a sport done on the surface of water which
was developed by Ralph Samuelson in the
1920's. Usually, a rider is pulled behind a boat
or pulled by a cable ski installation. Riders
skim the surface using one (slalom) or two
skis. Most of the time, the double skis are
used by beginners, and then they progress to a
single ski. Waterskiing is usually played in
lakes, rivers, and sometimes the ocean.

form of sport because it does not involve any
materials but it boosts up muscle strength and
physical capabilities very significantly. It is a
sport that very few people are familiar with
but is becoming more known over the past few
years.
