In the United States, circa 1960 home movie footage shows a bare-chested man riding two water skis while gripping a tow handle. A taut rope runs toward the foreground as white spray rises around his legs and spreads behind him. He wears patterned swimming trunks and a red flotation belt, maintaining a slightly bent stance over the wake. The single handheld shot follows him across open water, with brief changes in framing and a dark wooded shoreline beyond.
