around the Boat: also known as a Boat-O or by the abbreviation ATB, a skier on a single slalom ski cuts hard in one direction while the boat angles the opposite direction. In practiced choreography with the skier, the boat cuts back the other direction to pass under the skier’s rope. The skier continues their cut to keep the rope tight and complete their 360˚ journey around the boat. This act multiplies in difficulty by adding additional skiers at staggered rope lengths.

Ballet: an all-female act, water ski ballet features several ladies performing graceful choreographed arm and leg movements. These women circle the show course several times on just one foot, holding the rope in

their hands, between their legs (seat hold), with their feet (toe hold), or with their calves (heel hold). The ballet act is typically bookended with dock and stage dances by the ladies for maximum crowd appeal.

Barefoot: while barefooting, skiers skip along the water in excess of 40mph exactly as it sounds: on their bare feet with no skis at all. Barefoot ropes tend to be longer than in other acts – usually 100 feet from the back of the boat – since the boat’s rooster tail lands further behind the boat at higher speeds. Also due to the high speeds, you’ll see these skiers in wetsuits specifically designed with extra floatation and padding especially placed for the sport.

Barefoot line: we see how many barefoot water skiers we can put behind the boat for one 43+ mph pull through the show course. Barefoot line is more challenging than barefooting by oneself because each skier must keep their distance from those around them. If another skier falls, the remaining barefooters must also avoid the abandoned rope handle now jumping past their bare feet.

tandem Barefoot: also known as the Back Breaker, you’ll see one barefooter attached to the boat with a regular ski rope, but that front skier will also be wearing a waist harness. A second barefoot rope is connected to the back of the front skier’s harness, and a second footer is pulled behind the first.

Barefoot flyer: the boat pulls away while skiers are left standing on (or above) the dock. As the ropes get tight, watch these barefooters jump and fly in a plank position right onto the water! They crash on their backs and bounce back to their feet before cruising through the show course.

Barefoot Circle: a barefooter lies on the beach with the rope handle at his hips and the rope passing through his feet on the way to the boat. As the boat takes off, he’ll slide off the sand and onto the water, standing straight to his bare feet once the boat is to speed. As the boat sets into its circle pattern, the skier’s speeds can exceed 60 mph as they’re whipped to the outside of the wake. You’ll see our biggest adrenaline junkies performing this act!

Barefoot Bomb-out: the skier keeps both of his drop skis on his feet until he’s ready to Bomb-Out. Once the boat is up to speed, he’ll kick out of both skis simultaneously, leaving them behind on the water, then land on only his feet to barefoot ski away. There is very little room for error in this act, so the high-speed falls can be pretty spectacular as well.

Barefoot pyramid: just like it sounds, this act features two base barefooters with a barefoot climber standing on their shoulders creating a pyramid shape. Due to the extra weight on the base’s feet, the boat needs to pull this act even faster than a regular barefoot act; they’re skipping along the water at 50 mph!

Backwards Barefoot: sometimes it’s just more fun to look at the trees than to stare at the back of the boat. In this act, the skier is on his bare feet skiing backwards. This requires great deal of trust between skier and driver since the footer cannot see where he’s going. Watch out for big waves!

doubles: doubles features a male base skier and a female riding hands-free on his shoulders. You may see two variations of doubles. In Conventional Doubles, the base skiers hold a traditional ski handle while the riders perform choreographed

poses through the show course. In Adagio Doubles, the base skier is tethered to the boat by a waist strap, freeing both of his hands to assist his rider with more complicated maneuvers.

flag line: typically an act performed early in one’s show skiing career, each skier must ski a circle around the show course carrying a large pole with a large flag flapping in the wind. Some skiers like to tether the base of the flagpole to their ankle with a rubber strap. To make this act even more challenging, we often use staggered rope lengths in this act, causing each skier to leave the dock a few seconds before or after the skier on either side of them.

freestyle Jumping: while water ski jumping happens in a variety of subtypes throughout the sport, freestyle jumping is typically only enjoyed in show skiing. Freestyle jumpers typically use shorter skis than other jumpers so they can more easily manipulate the large, flat skis to perform tricks while in the air. Common stunts include the heli (360° spin), front flip, gainer (back flip), and möbius (360° twisting back flip).

hydrofoil: also known by the brand names Sky Ski or Air Chair, hydrofoiling features a skier is belted into a seat with his feet strapped into the front of the wide ski. These specialty skis have a 4-foot fin extending into the water. There are wing fins attached to the long fin that the skier controls by leaning forward and back in the chair. You’ll see these popping the hydrofoil out of the water for spectacular aerial tricks.

pyramids: unique to the show skiing discipline, we build human pyramids by having a row of bases riding sturdily on show boards – wide water skis for extra buoyancy – while climbers most swiftly yet smoothly construct human pyramids with each tier standing on the shoulders of the tier below them. To bring the pyramid to shore, the climbers move all the way down to ride along the front of the skis of one of the bases. Pyramids are built up and taken down several times on dry land before they’re sent out onto the water.

Carolina show ski team actsswivel skiing: one of the most graceful acts in all of show skiing, ladies practice for years before swivel skiing for an audience in a show. Swivel skiing is named after the special swivel binding used for this act. A single-foot binding is mounted atop ball bearings allowing the skier to turn 360˚ revolutions while her ski continues to track facing the boat. This elegant act looks effortless but requires great strength and body control.

shoe skiing: somewhere in between barefooting and trick skiing, you’ll find shoe skiing. Shoe skis are planks of wood just a few inches larger than the skier’s feet on all sides. Shoe skis are very slippery with no contouring or fins on the bottom of the boards, which enables the skiers to twist, turn, and tumble around on top of the water.

Carolina show ski team actstrick skiing: more often seen in the 3-event specialization of water skiing, a trick ski is a small oval-shaped ski with both front and back bindings but no fins. Trick skiers are able to twist around to perform 180˚ and 360˚ turns and sometimes flips.

trios: featuring three skiers, the trios act is similar to adagio doubles. Two base skiers are connected to the boat by a waist strap, leaving their hands free to assist their partner with more advanced acrobatic tricks.

Wakeboarding: wakeboarding was developed from a combination of water skiing, snowboarding, and surfing techniques. The wakeboard’s large surface area and ability to corner quickly allows the rider to perform a variety of “big air” tricks.

Weave: using staggered ropes, skiers in this multi-person act cut left and right quickly, raising their rope for the skier in front of them and ducking under the rope behind them. At the conclusion of this act, the ropes are woven together at the boat end due to the woven skiing pattern by the performers.
