EDITORS COMMENTS
A New Thrill for Bathers: Water Sport in 1913" This photograph captures the excitement and innovation of water sports in the early 1900s. Taken in 1913, the image shows a man skillfully holding onto a plank as he is towed behind a motor boat. The thrill of water planing, a precursor to modern water sports such as wakeboarding and water skiing, is evident on his face as he rides the wake created by the boat. The man wears a simple bathing costume, the fashion of the time, which contrasts starkly with the advanced technology of the motor boat. The boat's powerful engine pulls the man and his plank at an impressive speed of 35 miles per hour, an exhilarating experience for bathers of the era. The scene is set on a calm body of water, with the sun casting a warm glow over the scene. The boat's wake creates a rippling effect on the water, adding to the dynamic and action-packed atmosphere. The man holds onto the plank with a rope attached to the boat, ready to be towed once again for another thrilling ride. Water sports had been popular since the late 1800s, but the addition of motor boats brought a new level of excitement and adventure. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and adventurous spirit of the early 20th century, as people sought out new ways to enjoy the water and push the boundaries of what was possible. The image is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the evolution of water sports and the thrill-seeking spirit that continues to drive people to the water today.
