Answer (1)
Probably originated on the French Riviera in the early 1920s, and was known in the United States by 1927. The American Water Ski Association, founded in 1939, held the first national championships that year.
Answer (2)
It seems that someone had the idea in 1841, when a patent was registered. The word water ski (Swedish: vattenskida) is in the 1921 edition of the Nordisk Familjebok dictionary. The American Water Ski Association says that water skiing began in 1922.
However, if the truth be known , it goes back much longer than all this. Swans have been water skiing for thousands of years, but unfortunately they never made a record of when they started!
