Show skiing is a type of water skiing where skiers perform tricks somewhat similar to those of [[gymnasts]] while being pulled by the boat. Traditional ski show acts include pyramids, ski doubles, freestyle jumping, and swivel skiing. Show skiing is normally performed in water ski shows, with elaborate costumes, choreography, music, and an announcer. Show teams may also compete regionally or nationally. In the US, each team member must be a member of [[USA Water Ski]] to compete.

The first organized show occurred in 1928.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.usawaterski.org/pages/divisions/showski/ShowSkiHistory.htm | title = National Show Ski Association: A Brief History of Show Skiing | publisher = USA Water Ski | url-status = live | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20131105211331/http://www.usawaterski.org/pages/divisions/showski/ShowSkiHistory.htm | archive-date = 5 November 2013 | df = dmy-all }}</ref> The bi-annual World Show Ski Championship was inaugurated in September 2012 in Janesville, Wisconsin.<ref name=2014tournament>{{citation | url = http://www.iwsf.com/dbheadlines/headlinefiles/2014%20Show%20Ski%20Tournament.pdf | title = 2014 WORLD SHOW SKI TOURNAMENT | author = Rock Aqua Jays Water Ski Club, Inc. | publisher = International Waterski & Wakeboard Federation | access-date = 29 October 2013 | url-status = live | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20131022053225/http://www.iwsf.com/dbheadlines/headlinefiles/2014%20Show%20Ski%20Tournament.pdf | archive-date = 22 October 2013 | df = dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.usawaterski.org/pages/calendar.html | title = Master Calendar of Events | date = 28 October 2013 | publisher = USA Water Ski | quote = 9/12 – 9/14[2014] &ndash; 2nd IWWF World Show Ski Tournament &ndash; Janesville, Wis. | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20131020030123/http://www.usawaterski.org/pages/calendar.html | archive-date = 20 October 2013 | df = dmy-all | access-date = 29 October 2013 }}</ref> Past competition included teams from Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, and the United States.<ref name=2014tournament/>
