Water skiing was great fun...We always wore ski belts for safety. My kids loved it.
Water skiing looks like a lot of fun but you sure do need to be in shape to do it. I tried it once and never again.
I came up and kept right on going forward, slamming into the water face first.
After a few seconds, a voice in my head said, “Let..go..of..the..bar..or..you..will..drown.” ROTFL!
Since then, just being a passenger on boats watching others ski has sufficed. :-)
