www.usawaterski.orgWhy should I join USA
Waterski for USHA? Because you love
hydrofoiling, want to learn more about the sport, or
want to support the skiers! USA Water Ski membership
benefits include eligibility to attend fly-ins and
compete in USA Water Ski sanctioned events; The
Water Skier magazine; $10,000 of secondary personal
injury insurance when competing in USA Water Ski
events; and coupons worth hundreds of dollars in
discounts. Specify ‘HYD’ as your sports discipline
for USA Water Ski, and you’ll automatically be a

What if I don’t plan to attend fly-ins or compete?
You can join USA Water Ski as a Supporting Member

the Sports Discipline category to support USHA. The

The Water Skier, plus all the other advantages of
