Cancun Water Ski and Wakeboard

Nicole now enjoys water skiing, thanks to Scott Smith of Cancun Water Ski

A few months ago my wife, Nicole, and I had the opportunity to water ski with Scott Smith, the owner and operator of Cancun Water Ski and Wakeboard. We had a great time. He had some advice for me that I’m still trying to get right, and – even more exciting – he got Nicole up on skis and confident!

Scott has an easy-going style that belies his incredible experience successfully teaching thousands of people to water ski or ski better. Scott has worked with everyone from beginners (like my wife, pictured) to national champs. Scott knows his stuff and, even more importantly, knows how to share that knowledge with just about anybody.

You can choose whether to spend just an hour with Scott, or to do a couple of passes every day that you’re there. Cancun Water Ski offers everything from a break from the beach to a full-blown water ski camp, with the benefits of Cancun all around it!

Finding Cancun Water Ski

Cancun Water Ski has gear available for all abilities to borrow or rent, like this D3 ski Kevin used.

You can find Cancun Water Ski on the web at http://www.waterskicancun.com. Once you get to Cancun, you’ll find Scott in the Marina Manglar Hotel. You can find it directly across the street from the Sun Palace Resort on the south end of the Hotel Zone. If you are staying further north in the Hotel Zone, it is a quick bus ride from most of the major hotels. The bus costs less than $1 per person each way, and they come every 10 – 15 minutes.

Contact Scott early, particularly if you’re planning a trip during the busy Summer months. If your schedule lets you, try for October or November. The weather in Cancun is still great and the crowds are down.
