F1 Waterski (Lots if pictures)
Every year in May they organise one race of the F1 waterski championship almost in front of my door.
These boats can reach speeds up to 100mph with a waterskier behind them. On the river they got up to 60-70mph on the straight sections of the track. Some pictures I took in 2010 The whole series: http://www.steendorp.info/Sports/F1-...upelmonde-2010

Pretty cool, I've watched similar but in bigger swells when they do the Longbeach to Catalina Island run.

I like to water ski - typical US style (slalom style) where the boat is going 34 mph and making cuts behind it. I just learned about this high speed water ski racing and have been watching some videos. Insane! I can't imagine going 100 mph on a water ski, especially in choppy water! Thanks for sharing.
