On July 2, 2022, Lake City officials unveiled a statue of Ralph Samuelson, one hundred years to the day after he invented water skiing on Lake Pepin. I was especially interested in this because I published an article about Ralph and his adventures in the Jan/Feb issue of Big River Magazine. The statue did not exist when I wrote the article, but it is a very nice addition to the Lake City waterfront now. The statue stands at the boat ramp at Ohuta Beach next to the bay where Samuelson practiced and perfected his new sport. Here are a couple looks at the statue.
