What is Sea Skiing?

Sea skiing is a slightly longer model of the canoe with a partially covered top and a load bay. These boats are designed to be used mostly in the sea. Boats with a length of 5mt and a width of 60cm move with a muscle with a double blade. The most important difference from the shovel is that you sit in the direction of travel and cannot use your leg muscles. Canoeing and kayaking are mixed terms, but the canoe is mostly an open-top, single-row oar and usually a double boat. In skiing, your body and the boat become a whole with a skirt while sitting in the boat.
 
Giving the name skiing to these vehicles arises from the fact that the first users are eskimos and that the vehicles are slid like snow in the water according to the location. It is an outdoor sport that resists sliding on water by clinging to the rope attached to the back of a fast-going boat with the help of skis attached to the foot. Sea skiing, which has been started to be manufactured from various materials and some types of plastics thanks to the developing technology, is an area of ​​interest and commercial activity in many countries. Slalom water skiing competitions have six buoys placed crosswise on the course. As the boat passes through the buoys following a straight line at a constant speed, the athlete walks out of each buoy one by one, drawing zigzags. Another type of water skiing is jump. In this competition, the skier crosses the wave left behind by the boat and jumps from a slippery ramp of 1.8 meters in height and 7.3 meters in length. Wakeboard as was done in Turkey's southern coast in the Aegean, Sapanca Lake is one of the most convenient spot for wakeboarding.
