Vintage 8mm home movie footage from 1961 showing a woman water skiing on a lake in Michigan. A motorboat pulls her across the water, creating a white wake as she glides on the surface. The skier wears a light-colored swimsuit and a life vest, while the boat carries several passengers. The scene is framed by dark borders, typical of old film, with visible grain and color fading. Lush green trees line the distant shore under a bright sky, capturing a classic summer recreational moment from the early 1960s.
