We also had a tow board. I think they were commercely made at one time. Also the disk which were red. The crazy thing we had was a diving board. It was about 18 " by 12".
There were nobs on the sides. It was towed at short distance and not too fast. You would used the nobs to tilt you under water and then back up. Anyone have one of these.

We also used canoe paddles as water skis. I never mastered this but my neighbors did. You would hold the handle of the paddle at a right angle to the water, put your foot on the wide part, and start at a fast speed.

The boats that were close in the old pictures were going slow by todays standard so the danger was not quite at bad.
