Britain is a major player in the world of water skiing having individual skiers and riders as World and EAME Champions, as well as teams featuring in the medals at World and EAME Championships. As part of the IWWSF we also have a good number of our members sitting on World and EAME Committees and therefore able to put forward a British perspective into the rules of the sport.
