Waterskiing is a sport where someone skims the surface of a body of water by being pulled along by a boat or a cable ski machine.
You can go waterskiing all over the world and not just on the ocean either; rivers, lakes and reservoirs are popular places to do this activity.
Some of the most popular places to go waterskiing are:
- Tor Bay, Devon, UK
- Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK
- Colwyn Bay, Wales, UK
- San Diego, California, US
- Austin, Texas, US
- Miami, Florida, US
- Acapulco, Mexico
- Alentejo, Portugal
- Lake Garda, Italy
- Nea Sivota, Greece

Common Injuries:
Waterskiing injuries can range from light muscle strain to serious injury of fatality.
The most frequent ailments are usually muscle related, such as:
- Calf muscle tears
- Groin strain
- Hamstring tears
- Back muscle strain
- Ligament strain
- Achilles tendonitis
- Abductor tendinopathy
- Knee ligament injury
- Rotator cuff injuries.
If you do receive any injury while waterskiing, it is best to rest for two to three days to avoid repeating or aggravating the injury.
Ice packs are ideal for the first couple of days after your injury as this will reduce pain and swelling.
After this, you can use heat packs to begin stimulating blood flow to the injured area. Heat will also help muscles relax and ease your pain.
Using a compressive support bandage and elevating the damaged area will also aid your recovery. Also try to avoid alcohol as this increases swelling and bleeding.
As with most injuries, the sooner you begin treatment, the greater chance you have of a swift recovery and lessen the chances of long term damage. There should ideally be a 200 ft gap between the person waterskiing and the boat pulling them along.
