Water Sports

Until 2002 I have always been a recreational slalom skier. Until I discovered the Sky Ski, I thought I had done about everything you could do on the water behind a boat, including towing some things such as a flat piece of plywood or an old wooden table. Absolutely the most fun to be had on the water is a hydrofoil. There are basically 2 different ones to choose from. Either Air-Chair or Sky Ski. It is a relatively new sport, but is starting to catch on. Most people are reluctant to try one because of the price of a new one. The only thing I can tell you is, "Don't try it if you don't want to buy it". I bought one having never ridden. Along with a friend who had never ridden, we were riding after a couple of hours on the first day, and have been flying ever since.
