Figures. La discipline la plus complète dans l'apprentissage du ski nautique. Le ski est si instable au début, que l'on nomme cela couramment «une savonnette». Cette épreuve passée, on découvre alors le plaisir de toutes sortes de retournements, tracté aussi bien par les mains que par un pied. C'est une discipline qui, avec le temps, a beaucoup évolué et la succession de sauts périlleux ou autres figures, relève du grand art. Le but est d'enchaîner un maximum de figures en 2 parcours de 20 secondes chacun. 4, record 2, French, - ski%20de%20figures
