Understanding Water Sports Equipment
Water skiing involves being pulled behind a motorboat, skimming across the surface on one or two skis. Beginners often start with two skis, while advanced skiers use a single slalom ski with two bindings. Our classic water skiing section shows both styles.
You will also find pages dedicated to wakeboarding, where the rider stands sideways on a short, wide board, much like a snowboard for the water. Kneeboarding is another popular option where the rider kneels on a specially designed board and secures themselves with a strap. These different types of tow sports offer varied ways to enjoy the water. The tow rope connects the skier to the boat, and maintaining a strong grip on the handle is essential.
Coloring the Splashing Waves and Wakes
Coloring water scenes gives kids a chance to experiment with different shades of blue, teal, and white. The boat wake—the trail of disturbed water left behind the boat—is usually full of white foam and bubbles. Leave the edges of the waves uncolored or use a white crayon to create a realistic splashing effect.
When coloring the towboats and jet skis, bright colors like red, yellow, or neon green make the vehicles stand out against the blue background. Encourage children to blend light blue and deep navy to show the depth of the water. The spray coming off the edges of a wakeboard can be drawn with light, upward pencil strokes. Adding a bright yellow sun in the sky completes the summer vibe.
