In the water ski club, of course, people ski, without skis - on heels, on a wake, or just in a boat - for company, as spectators.
However, as a rule, all these people ride down hills large and small in winter, know how to drive an off-road and road bike, play tennis, football, golf with a ball, skate, roller skate, skateboard and sailboard, go to hiking (with or without a gun), on a kayak or on a yacht, and, of course, turning the steering wheel of your car.
Thus, the Club members are ordinary energetic, sociable, cool, brave, strong (and in spirit too), smart and fashionable people. A water ski club simply must exist for several reasons.
Firstly, it’s expensive to maintain a boat alone, secondly, for skating you need, at a minimum, a driver and an observer (this is already a small club, let’s add our own spectators), thirdly, you just need a company with whom you ride, discuss your falls , failures and good luck, preparing for tournaments. The basis of the club is the boat.
The engine in the boat is at least 250-300 l/s. American boats Master Craft, Correct Craft, Malibu are the best. The body of water, which must be large enough for skiing (minimum 800 by 80 m) and protected from the wind, also has a slalom track and a diving board. There should be a pier for skiers to start and boats to moor. It is necessary to provide refueling for the boat and a place to store fuel, a changing house with a shower, possibly a bathhouse, shelter from the rain, sports grounds for warming up before the start, and if performances, tournaments, competitions are planned, then places for spectators and judges on the shore. As a rule, everyone has their own equipment.
Beginners, naturally, use club equipment, however, if you liked skiing or wake riding, then everyone tries to buy themselves, albeit not the most expensive, but good and already their own equipment. First of all, this is a comfortable wetsuit and an elegant life jacket. Both the suit and the vest, in addition to everything, protect against possible impacts on the water in case of unsuccessful falls. The most significant purchase is a ski or wake - here you can and should find out and choose. Not unimportant details are gloves, rope, handle, and for skiing in warm weather - shorts that are fashionable for the season. In the club, everyone rides whatever they want.
For some, these are the first starts on two skis, skiing on a mono-ski, or slalom training, for others, this is a wake with a crowd of spectators in a boat (wow! more spectators - a larger wave for jumping), or skiing on heels, on figure skis , for others, it is ski jumping, cheesecake and banana riding. Experience shows that the duration of intensive skiing, for example, training in slalom or the first starts of beginners, rarely exceeds 10-15 minutes. Also, it is physically difficult to train slalom more than 3 times a day. This applies to other species as well. The water ski season in St. Petersburg begins in mid-May and ends at the end of September.
Recently, it has become possible to travel to warmer regions on the first water - tours are organized during the May holidays. From October to May, water skiing is possible in the pool. The peak season is in July. In June and August there are fewer swimmers and other inhabitants of the water area, and there are even fewer of them in May and September. In recent years, the season has started earlier and ended later, thanks in large part to breakthroughs in drysuit technology. Water skiing competitions are traditionally held in three types: slalom, figure skating, ski jumping, and there is an all-around competition. At the same time, competitions are held in wake riding, heel riding, and speed racing.
