Waterski the Wailua River

The Wailua River offers the only fresh-water skiing in the state. This unique river, with a width of approximately a quarter mile near its mouth, has some of the most spectacular settings in the world for powerboat sports. Always glassy, warm water and perfect conditions (except in times of flooding), the river draws pros from around the world to rip up the river's glassy face on skis, wakeboards, scurfers and kneeboards.

The pros come here to train because of the perfect conditions and the selection of new tournament ski boats that pull them. Also, world champion ski board events are held at various times of the year on the river.

Beginners and intermediates can have good fun here with moderately priced tows, starting at $30 a ride. Passengers who choose not to ski, ride free. The ski boat companies supply all the equipment, as well as just about any water apparatus you can think of. Tried an air chair lately? Instruction as well as professional high speed navigation is part of the deal. You will find out more about this great sport by calling Kauai Water Ski & Surf Co.
