Ski Show
Moomba Ski Show Team
The Victorian Waterski Association SKI SHOW TEAM will be on the water as part of the evening entertainment during the Moomba Tournament. Thanks to dedicated sponsors at Club Marine Insurance, Skicraft and Mercury Marine the team keeps Melbourne entertained throughout summer, performing at the Moomba Waterfest, Melbourne Summer and Winter Boat Show and other Victorian venues. The Team also have an international profile.
Show skiing has been around for many decades and is a widely recognised and competitive sport around the world, although not a competitive sport in Australia. This year the IWSF have formed an inaugural committee to further promote the discipline of show skiing and pave the way for a world event, and we are fortunate to have an Australian delegate appointed to this committee. The ski show team allows confident skiers to develop skills they would otherwise not be able to experience as a social skier. Show skiing usually involves an entertaining theme, announcers, characters, multiple boats and skiers and a variety of acts. Highlights of a ski show include aerial jumps, high speed whirls, backwards barefoot, sky ski, swivel and pyramids.
