Rising above the water
Author: Airman

Ralph Samuelson was the first person to water ski. In 1922, the Minnesota native used two large skis and was towed by an airplane equipped with floats, What he originated became an exhibition sport on both side of the Atlantic in the 1920s and 1930s, using outboard-motor boat instead of airplanes.

Now, millions enjoy the sport, which has evolved into knee boarding, slalom, jumping, ski-boarding, speed skiing, kite flying, show skiing and barefoot water-skiing.

Airmen don't necessarily need to buy a boat to have fun on a nearby lake. Like golf, it's made more affordable through the Air Force services programs like outdoor recreation or a marina. Instead of buying a boat, rent it.

Ski boat rates

Expect to pay anywhere from $30 to $50 an hour for a ski boat. It may sound like a steep price, but if shared with another family or friends, it won't dent the wallet as much. It's also more affordable to rent a boat in half- or whole-day increments, rather than by the hour. You may find that with all the sun and exercise involved, a half day of water skiing is all the family can handle, at least during their first few outings.

Keep in mind that most offices require boat renters to attend training before they're allowed to take the boat out for a spin. These courses are usually offered for free and may only take an hour or two. Outdoor recreation or the marina is also a good place to rent life vests, skis and a towrope for a reasonable price.
