Ah, yes.....I recall avoiding getting my hair wet, at all cost! And I always had a comb in the boat, just in case. My parents purchased a new Correct Craft Atom Skier in the late 1950s, with powder blue faux leather seat cushions.. we thought we were the cat's meow and that boat was able to pull 4 skiers. Along with our Correct Craft, my Father decided it was time to buy a pair of trick skis (we called them banana peels)...we had more fun with them! My brother was an outstanding waterskier and would cross the wake, back and forth, with his body just about parallel to the water. It was a thrill to watch him ski. I spent too much time worrying about my hair to become a very good skier I could slalom but only by dropping one ski.
