We found something better than the proverbial "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow," we found the Cypress Gardens Water Ski Team ski show performing. At The Rock on Lake Rochelle... There is an album of photos of the show on the CGWST Facebook page... #waterskiing #showskiing #waterskilife #handledoubles #lifeonthewater #Waterski100 (at The Rock of Winter Haven) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkmhuuAuvLY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When Johnny Roberts first joined the Cypress Gardens Ski Team, before he took to the skies like a bird and became "The Jet," he had to learn some of the basic ski acts, one of which was doubles.

Speaking of doubles, looks like Bud Leach is giving it the old college try but I think Martha Mitchell is about to go for a swim... 🙂 #waterskiing #showskiing #waterskidoubles #handledoubles #showskilife #lifeonthewater #cypressgardens #classicphotography #loveblackandwhite (at Cypress Gardens, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMIEequBW6u/?igshid=b86z9904bgm0

The Beauty of Classic Water Skiing Photography. Dick Binette and Pat Whitney Conrad gliding across the gentle waters of Lake Eloise. Love the wings attached to Pat's gloves (costume designers?). Binette received the Water Ski Hall of Fame Award of Distinction in 2004. #waterskiing #showskiing #waterskidoubles #handledoubles #showskilife #lifeonthewater #classicphotography #loveblackandwhite #cypressgardens #waterski100 (at Cypress Gardens, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH0l5IXh3QS/?igshid=4zcci10spz6k
