Disk and Chair

Cleaning out some files I came across these pictures of my cousin using the disc and chair. I know I've told several friends about this family water skiing trick, but I haven't had any pictures to show it. Now you can see what it looks like. The disc is just a round piece of plywood with no fins or footholds. The chair is a wooden folding chair. You start with the chair laying flat on top of the disc. You hold the chair between your feet and hold the rope and the top of the disc in your hands. After you're out of the water, you pick up the chair and unfold it leading to other tricks.

Looks like my cousin just completed a spin. Without rudders on the disc spins are fairly easy tricks.
