A black and white short film from 1955, Aquatic Wizards features water-skiing as enjoyed by a bevy of white men and women, and one rather talented Hispanic man, in the . A bout of mild racism on the part of the narrator underscores this quite well. Breathless descriptions of various forms of water-skiing follow, from children first learning to experts demonstrating high level techniques such as the so-called "Cypress Gardens weave" and the apparently impossible double helicopter spin, attempted not quite successfully by Alfredo Mendoza. As one might guess, the wisdom of allowing pre-teen children to tow even younger children on a large body of water without so much as a life jacket is questionable at best, but the ultimate message of the short film seems to be that water-skiing is an engaging sport, accessible to the common man, regardless of age, sex, or race, or taste in bathing suits.
