Background: Dublin had its first display of water ski-ing, October 21, when a crowd of 50,000 saw Irish, British and Continental water-skiers in action.

They included Marina Doria, 24-year old Swiss and World Woman Champion; European Champion, Max Salic, of Belgium one of the fastest high-speed jumping experts in Europe, and British Champion, Peter Felix.

Drawn by speed boats travelling at more than 30 m.p.h., spectacular figure ski-ing and jumping displays were given on the floodlit River Liffey.
