My name is Halle Cain and in 2025 I make my debut in the Australian team for the World Show Ski Tournament.

A little about myself: I am 11 years old and have been waterskiing my whole life, even before I was born! It’s fair to say it is in my blood. Having performed at my first Australian National Show Ski Tournament at just 4 years old, I am beyond excited to announce securing a spot on the Australian team for the World Tournament.

Through my love of the water, I have quickly progressed through the many stages of skiing, kneeboard, double skis, single ski and my new found love: the swivel ski. This particular ski has a binding that pivots allowing me to perform tricks while being towed behind the boat, think ballerina on water.

What is Show Skiing you ask? It is a Waterski Show that showcases many waterski disciplines. It is choreographed to music and built around a theme that tells a story.

I am so excited that I have been selected to represent Australia at The World Show Ski Tournament in 2025. Not only am I the youngest member on the squad to perform in the team competition, I have also been selected to compete in the Individual Strap Doubles competition with my partner Damian. I’ve been training hard to improve my waterski skills in a variety of acts. My gymnastics training has helped me build the strength and flexibility that allows me to not only ski, but to climb to the top of a 4-tier waterski pyramid! At the 2023 Australian Show Ski Tournament my team (Show Ski WA) built the biggest waterski pyramid ever built in Australia, two 3-tiers with a 4-tier in the centre, this was the biggest rush I have every experienced when we came through the show course standing at the top of the 4-tier. I can not wait to stand on the top of the Australian pyramid as it comes through the show course in front of the best show skiers in the whole world!

If you can contribute any support to help me get to the World Show Ski Tournament I would be forever grateful. I would use the money to help with travel, accomodation, extra training costs, entry fees, uniforms and new costumes.
