Watching Our Water Ways

With such great weather lately, lots of us are having fun on the water. I looked for a funny video that would show the excitement of water sports.

Many of the online videos claim to be funny, but they often show what appears to be people getting injured. Even though they are amusing, I cringe when I watch them. Not exactly what I want to put on Water Ways.

Video producers for O’Brien Watersports, however, had the right idea. They created a best-wipeouts video that shows people laughing about the close calls they are having on the water. It was part of the annual demonstrations of new and old O’Brien ski tubes, and it comes with a warning: Don’t try this yourself!

I’ve included a second, older video that I like for the most part. It’s grainy and sort of thrown together, but I like the action. Unfortunately, somebody added some terrible music, so I advise you to press your mute button if you feel the same way. (I’m not sure, but it may have originated on “America’s Funniest Home Videos.” Maybe we should blame them for the music.)
