History
In 1932, Leo Roman and Emil Petersen contribute to the development of the water-ski by creating the first Water-Ski Club and making incredible demonstrations in the Golfe Juan bay.
The first worldwide water-ski championship happened in 1949 in the Juan-les-Pins bay, in the historic channel between the hotels Provençal and Belles Rives; the champions were French. From 1950 to 1960, all the competitions were dominated by the Water-Ski Club of Juan-les-Pins: Maxime Vazeille, Christian Malinet, Jean Jacques Pottier and Philippe Logut.
All of this explains why Juan-les-Pins is internationally known as the birthplace of the water-skiing.
