thank you all - gives me a new perspective. my 6 year old son did it last week. I liked to see it mostly because I thought that it required some balls - he was about 50 meters off coast in pretty deep water and he held on to the damn rope for a long time without freaking out at all. but I didn't think that it was anything terribly "useful". although I have to admit that a lot of my feeling about it was influenced by my hate of my mother in law, who water skiis.

I used to waterski every day Zach. While in high school my sister and I would hit the water right after breakfast and ski 'til the wind came up and put more than a gentle little chop on the lake surface. It is a helluva workout from head to toe.
I now ski just once in awhile, but every time I step up onto that ski I pine for the opportunity to do it daily again
if it is good enough for my friend Mike, then I guess it is a good thing.

I do think wakeboarding has become a bit more popular, but if I had my choice between wakeboarding, jet skiing, and water skiing, I'd probably choose water skiing.
good to know.
