Water Ski Thrills
Any skiing that the big crowd at Monaco had previously seen paled into insignificance alongside the performance of New Zealand champion and international professional skier, Vaughan Bullivant, at the Monaco Boat Club's display day. He carried out the most complicated manoeuvres with an aplomb and competence born of extensive experience. His exhibitions were the highlight of an extremely entertaining display.

Bullivant's own barefoot skiing with toehold
At 40 miles an hour Bullivant, in bare feet, tumbled over, rose again to his feet and repeated the manoeuvre several times (a truly fantastic exhibition).
