About USA Water Ski & Wake Sports 

Welcome to the official USA Water Ski & Wake Sports website for our "Life on the Water" initiatives. We have embraced the theme "life on the water." This lifestyle is all about being out on the lake with your friends and family, having fun and enjoying the sun! Whether it's in the boat, behind the boat, on skis, a kneeboard or a wakeboard, USA Water Ski & Wake Sports is here for you. Yes, we are the national organization for all wakesports and towed water sports but we are more than that. We are a family. We are a community of people with a shared passion for living their lives to the fullest on the water. 

This website is dedicated to promoting this lifestyle, from our elite athletes to our newest junior members, and to the people who share this same commitment to having fun behind a boat. We are asking you to remember the reasons why you fell in love with your sport and scream it from a mountain top! Please join us in celebrating, promoting and living life on the water for now and years to come!
