Pyramids

One of the most iconic acts in show skiing.

Multiple skiers stack on top of each other while skiing behind a boat to create human pyramids gliding across the water. These formations require balance, strength, and incredible teamwork from everyone involved.

Pyramids are often the grand finale of a show.

Jump

The jump act features skiers racing toward a ramp and launching into the air.

Jumpers can fly dozens of feet across the water before landing and continuing to ski away. It’s one of the most thrilling moments of any show and always gets a big reaction from the crowd.

Swivel

Swivel skiing combines grace, balance, and creativity.

Using a special swivel ski, the skier spins, dances, and performs choreographed movements on the water. Swivel acts are often performed to music and bring a touch of artistry to the show.

Trick

Trick skiers perform fast-paced maneuvers using specialized skis.

These acts feature quick turns, spins, and technical skills that show off the skier’s control and agility on the water.

Ballet

Ballet acts combine skiing, choreography, and music.

Skiers perform synchronized routines behind the boat, creating flowing patterns on the water.

Barefoot

Exactly what it sounds like—skiing without skis.

Barefoot skiers glide across the water at high speeds using only their feet. These acts often include tricks, turns, and impressive balance that show just how much control these athletes have.
