Very cool..

The guy in the photo is about to do some freestyle trick skiing. That is what his boat is rigged for. Just like this guy in this video, skiing barefoot and on his back.

Found some more interesting photos in my father's stuff. He worked for OMC over 25 years, and held positions of Director of Marketing, Vice President and eventually President of OMC International. There are a lot of photos, so breaking them down into categories. This one is Boat Shows...
