Waterskiing happens on a semi regular basis, usually on Sunday mornings. It is an event that doesn't involve many people, so it's not a big money maker, but is fun to watch.

For those of us that paddle, swim and kayak, it can be a bit of an inconvenience. We, however, when paddling, look at it as another way for our friends and beach vendors to make a bit more money. Most of the boat drivers know/recognize us and choose their routes around us and we do our best to accommodate them too.

Helmut of the old Villa del Sol used to water ski regularly with his own boat, and later he had a motorized surf board he'd cruise around the bay on that was pretty cool. And back in the early 70's an Olympic skier from Switzerland named Hans would ski barefoot around the bay. He was a regular visitor and part-time resident here for a few decades. I wonder if anyone reading here remembers him.
