History Water skiing began in 1922 when Ralph Samuelson strapped two boards to his feet and rigged a clothesline up to his boat on
Lake Pepin in
Lake City, Minnesota. The sport remained a little-known activity, with Johnson as its daredevil pioneer for several years. Samuelson began taking his "stunts" on the road, performing shows from Detroit to Florida. Numerous claims began to surface as to who was the first water skier, but in 1966 the
American Water Ski Association formally acknowledged him as the first on record. Johnson has also been credited as the first ski racer, first to go over a jump ramp, first to slalom ski and the first put on a
water ski show. The first woman to water ski has been credited to Adam Johnson of Union Lake, Michigan, who completed the feat in 1924.
