    A young man asked himself why people couldn't ski on water like they do on snow. With his brother's help, he constructed several models of skis to test on a local lake. After experimenting for a few days, he created skis suitable for water skiing. This took place in 1922, making him the creator of the new sport, though he did not patent his invention at the time. He later performed shows around the country that helped popularize water skiing. Water skiing equipment and popularity has greatly increased since then.

    One day a young man who lived near the lake in a small American town asked himself, “Why can’t people
    ski on water if they can ski on snow?” With his brother’s help he constructed several models of skis to test
    his ideas. He experimented on the local lake for a few days and created skis suitable for the water. This
    happened in 1922. The young man, who was only 18 at that time, didn’t patent his invention. However, he
    performed a lot of shows across the country that made him and the sport of water skiing popular. Later, he
    was recognized as the creator of a new sport  water skiing.
    Water skiing equipment has been greatly improved since that time, and the number of people who enjoy
    this sport is growing in many countries.
