Wisconsin is the Water Ski Show Capital of the World with more water ski show teams than any other place in the world, according to the Wisconsin Water Ski Federation. Nearly all are non-profit organizations with members ranging from pre-teens to older adults. Human pyramids (4-tiers!), barefoot skiing, jumping, large ballet lines, swivel skiing and strap doubles are just a few of the acts packed into an action-filled water ski show by the two Crivitz teams. The shows are free, however they do accept donations during their shows. The money helps them purchase equipment, gas and new boats from time to time.
