Shot on 8mm film in 1964 at Flushing Meadows, New York, this vintage home movie captures a thrilling waterskiing stunt at the World's Fair. A skier in white leaps from a ramp into the water, towed by a small motorboat, with a large 'FLORIDA' sign visible in the background. The footage shows a sunny day with a city skyline across the water, and the grainy, color-bleached aesthetic of Super 8 film adds to its nostalgic charm. The scene is viewed from a spectator's perspective, with the back of a head in the foreground, emphasizing the personal, archival nature of the recording.
