“Indmar touches the lives of water skiers and families across the United States year after year,” said Steve Upp, USA Water Ski’s director of business development and partnerships. “Not only has Indmar changed the way the sport is powered, the company is a true believer in the athletes and has always made sure the athletes are funded through Indmar’s sponsorship.”

Hosted by the Aqua Skiers and the National Show Ski Association, the Show Ski Nationals will feature 14 teams and more than 1,500 athletes competing for the coveted show ski national title.
In competitive show skiing, each club has one hour to present a theatrical performance on water skis. Judges score the acts by awarding points based on execution, difficulty, spectator appeal and flow. Elaborate costumes and staging intermix with music and fast action on the water as an announcer leads the audience through the show. The Show Ski National Championships also features athletes competing individually in adagio doubles, swivel, freestyle jumping and multi-jumping acts.

For the third consecutive year, the team competition on Saturday (Aug. 14) and Sunday (Aug. 15) will be available for viewing via a live Webcast. To view the Webcast, visit http://waterski.teamusa.org/live.
