Texas A&M Water Ski Club

The organizations purpose is to promote interest in water skiing and its related activities among the students, faculty, and staff of TAMU. The Texas A&M Waterski Team competes in three event waterskiing (slalom, trick, and jump) against other schools in the South Central Region. We travel to seven tournaments a year, and host daily “practices” at our lake 20 miles from campus in Iola, TX. Members are not required to compete, or attend any team events; everything is optional and at your own pace! We are always looking for new members. Whether you are a seasoned pro, a recreational skier, or someone who is interested in simply getting on top of the water; we welcome you! 

Below are some frequently asked questions from prospective new members:

I am not very good at skiing, will I fit in? There are many people who join our club just for their love of the water! We enjoy teaching people to do new things so don't be shy! 

What does the lake have to offer? We have equipment for use by club members; slalom skis, trick skis, jump skis, life jackets, wakeboards, wakeskates, slalom course, jump ramp, and a BRAND NEW 2024 MasterCraft Prostar!

What are the dues? Dues are $325 for the semester. This goes to cover boat cost, lake rent, gas for the boat, transportation and lodging for tournaments, club equipment repair, and general maintenance. Your first trip to the lake is free if you would like to come check out the team, but we can only allow this once. The second time out, we require full dues, which means you would owe $325. Sorry, we wish skiing was free too. You can pay dues in cash, check, or online.

What is Collegiate Waterski like? It's the best community you've never heard of. Watch this video from this years nationals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3UC_53pUA4&t=2s to get an idea of what collegiate skiing looks like!

Can I get discounts on personal equipment through the club? YES! We are sponsored by Radar Skis, HO Skis, Goode, Connelly, Masterline, and Miami Nautique Proshop. We get huge discounts on products through all of these manufacturers direct from the factory. 

How do I join? Just give one of the officers a text or email to find out when we are going to be out at the lake, or follow our Instagram @aggiewaterski where we will be posting our meeting times throughout the semester!
