Answer 1

I started when I was about 7 years old. Never died yet.

Answer 2

Any age just depends on how long you have been doing it.

Answer 3

every sport is dangerous but water skiing isn't so bad.  Need to know how to swim but you'll have a life jacket.  I did it when I was just a little kid.

Answer 4

Life is dangerous. There was a 24 month old on the news tonight who water skies. He is obviously more coordinated than I am.

Answer 5

NOOO!!!! I love water skiing and i am 13!! Make sure that you ask your uncle not to drive too fast. Bend your knees slightly and lean back. Keep your arms straight. Good Luck!!!!

You dont have to be a certain age!!!! DO it when you feel like you are ready!!

if you can ski or have a good balance of energy you should be fine. Maybe try wakeboarding first...

Answer 7

I think it's 18 years of age.
