The Hall of Fame Ceremony goes Virtual!

38th USA Water Ski & Wake Sports Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is now a

FREE online event!

As much as we tried to make it happen, a lack of ticket sales and travel restrictions has made an in-person event impossible this year.

The Hall of Fame Induction for the Class of 2020 will now be a virtual ceremony on the evening of April 24, 2021.

The FREE Live Event will be broadcast from the home of our NEW

USA Water Ski & Wake Sports Museum

Central Florida Visitor Information Center

101 Adventure Court

Davenport, FL 33837 ​

The Live Event will be hosted in collaboration with Polk County Tourism and Sports Marketing, which is designing and constructing the new museum.

A small reception will also be held on site to celebrate the opening of the new museum. Tickets for that are limited, but will be available in the coming weeks.

If you purchased tickets for the 2020 Hall of Fame, those will be valid for the 2022 Hall of Fame Banquet which will kick off a year of festivities to mark the 100th Anniversary of Water Skiing!
