Water ski

The invention relates to water skis and more particularly to a water ski that planes up to the surface of the water more rapidly than traditional skis currently available in the market place. A water ski having an elongated body member having a fore-zone, a mid-zone, an aft-zone and a longitudinally extending X-axis. A major longitudinally extending groove is formed in the bottom surface of the water ski and it extends substantially the length of the mid-zone and the aft-zone. A plurality of longitudinally spaced left side minor grooves and right side minor grooves extend outwardly from the boundary edges of the major groove toward the respective left and right side edges of the water ski. Water traveling along the length of the major groove will also travel laterally outwardly through the respective left side and right side minor groove to give improved performance to the water ski.
