Water ski jumpers use two long skis to ride over a water ski jump in an attempt to travel the longest distance. In a tournament, skiers are given three attempts to hit the ramp. The winner is the skier who travels the farthest calculated<ref name=manual-2003/> distance and successfully rides away.<ref name=ripnride>{{cite web|title=Jump Gold|work=Rip 'n Ride|publisher=Water Ski and Wakeboard Canada|url=http://www.ripnride.ca/#!__the-program/jump-gold|access-date=1 October 2013|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004222034/http://www.ripnride.ca/#!__the-program/jump-gold|archive-date=4 October 2013|df=dmy-all}}</ref> There are no style points, simply distance.<ref name=iwsf-history/>

Water ski jumps have specific dimensions and the ramp height is adjustable. Skiers may choose their boat speed and ramp height, although there are maximums based the skier's gender and age. Professional ski jumpers have a maximum boat speed of {{convert|58|km/h|mph kn|abbr=on}}. The ramp height must be between {{convert|5|and|6|ft|m|1|abbr=on|order=flip}}. As a professional jumper approaches the ramp they will zigzag behind the boat in a series of cuts<ref name=ripnride/> to generate speed and angle. When the jumper hits the ramp they will generally be going over {{convert|112|km/h|mph|0}} and the load they have generated on the rope can be over {{convert|600|kg|lb}}.
