INTRODUCTION TO WATER SKI RACING

The National Water Ski Racing Association welcomes all race fans to come and witness our high speed sport.

Water ski racing is a high adrenalin action packed family oriented water sport. Water sport enthusiasts of all kinds are encouraged to get involved. Mom, dad, kids, aunts, uncles, friends, etc. can all take part on the same team.

The NWSRA sanctions events in the United States at lakes, rivers and ocean locations along the West Coast. Courses range in size and shape, with long sweeping turns around 3 buoys. Water conditions vary. Starts are made at a dead water fashion.

There are  Novice and two different Social classes available for beginners. Each division is divided up by entry level, age or boat class to offer as much comparative competition as possible.

Marathon events range between 35 to 65 miles in length with a Mini Marathons running approximately 25 miles. Circle or sprint racing takes place on approximately a 2 mile oval course.

All of the events on the calendar are open for you to compete in if you wish. Boats to ski behind are usually available but should be set up in advance. Proper safety equipment is mandatory. Some equipment is usually available by the sponsoring organization but must be arranged in advance.
