birth of water skiing

11/2/2021

Water skiing was born in Lake City, Minnesota, in 1922, when Ralph Samuelson strapped two boards, each eight feet long to his feet, and after many attempts, finally skimmed along the surface of Lake Pepin. This July will be the 100th anniversary of that event, so I wrote an article about his exploits. It has been accepted by Big River Magazine and is slated for their January 2022 issue.
