Water Ski/Wakeboard - Team Canada - Official Olympic Team Website

Water skiing was invented in the United States in 1922 and became a competitive sport in 1939 with the first national championship at Jones Beach in Long Island, N.Y. Since then it has steadily grown in popularity and evolved beyond a recreational activity. The sport was demonstrated at the Olympic Games in 1972 but has yet to be recognized as an official Olympic sport. It has been part of the Pan American Games since 1995. The sport also includes wakeboard, which was created in the late 1980s as a combination of surfing, snowboarding, skateboarding and waterskiing.
