waterskiers
Boat-pulled lake athletes
Waterskiers are people engaged in waterskiing—being towed behind a boat while standing on one or two skis, gliding across the water's surface.
The term covers everyone from beginners clinging to the tow rope to professionals performing tricks and jumps: Waterskiers dotted the lake on summer weekends.
