"Water-ski" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Water-skiing is a surface water sport in which an individual is pulled behind a boat and skis along the water's surface. The sport originated in the United States in the 1920s. The skier holds onto a rope attached to a ski boat, and as the boat moves forward, the skier uses their feet, knees, and arms to balance and steer while gliding across the water. Water-skiing requires great balance, strength, and agility, and it is often enjoyed as a recreational activity or competitive sport, particularly in summertime.
