4. Events in water skiing There are three competitive events in traditional water skiing: Slalom Tricks Jump

5. Slalom It’s the most popular water skiing discipline. The slalom course consists of 6 fixed buoys. The water skier follows the tow boat through the entrance gate of the slalom course, pass around the outside of all 6 buoys and proceed through the gate, until he misses a buoy or the gate or falls. The speed of the boat is increased every time skier passes 6 buoys. The objective is to pass as many buoys as possible.

6. Tricks It’s like Freestyle Snow Skiing. This type of Water Skiing requires good balance and athleticism. The objective in this event is to make as many figures as person desires, knowing that each of the figure has its own value. The skier performs during two 20-second passes.

7. Jump The skier has the right to make 3 jumps. A jump shall be scored when a skier passes over the ramp, lands and skis away. Only the length of the jump will be considered as result. Skier must reach the longest possible distance in order to win the match.
