Vintage 8mm home movie footage from Michigan USA in 1961 shows a man in an orange life vest water skiing on a lake. He is being pulled by a boat, gliding across the water with a rope in hand. The grainy, slightly faded image captures the classic retro aesthetic of mid-century recreational sports. The skier wears dark swim trunks and maintains balance as he cuts through the water, with another person visible in the boat. The footage exhibits natural film grain, slight motion blur, and a nostalgic, authentic home movie feel, perfect for historical or nostalgic content.
