Scottish Waterski Festival
Waterski and Wakeboard Scotland, the national governing body for the sport, is proud to announce the Scottish Waterski Festival, a celebration of waterskiing in Scotland taking place on Sunday 21st September 2025 at the Town Loch National Training Site.
The festival marks the culmination of a hugely successful season for waterskiing in Scotland, following a series of impactful projects and initiatives that have boosted participation, developed new pathways, and inspired the next generation of skiers across the country. The event promises an action-packed day showcasing all three disciplines of the sport: slalom, trick and jump. Open to all ages and ability levels, the festival will bring together grassroots participants, club skiers and elite athletes in celebration of the sport’s growth.
In the build-up to the festival, skiers will have the unique opportunity to learn from one of the very best in the world.
