Water+alpine skis = wave skiing

If you are a fan of water skiing/wakeboarding/surfing/kiteboarding in the summer and alpine skiing in winter, you can combine your passion of these sports in one - wave skiing.

Mike Douglas, a producer of a TV series called “Salomon Freeski TV” that covers every part of the freeskiing world,and his fellow pro skier Cody Townsend put on alpine ski boots and installed alpine ski bindings on a pair of custom made skis to ski on big waves in the Maui surf to pioneer a new sport: wave skiing.

So, the obvious question is - how do you get up on a wave on skis?

They got towed in by jetskis using the same setup as a tow surfer.

But even bigger question is - what's going to happen when you're trying to swim in the ocean with ski boots on ?



Now we just need to bring surfing to the slopes. Real surfboards, sliding down the slopes. I mean, why not ? It'll be fun.
