Meet the Team
Started in 1980 with just 14 members, the Backwater Gamblers Water Ski Club got our name because we used to gamble with our lives by water skiing on the backwaters of the Mississippi River. Now skiing on the serene Rock River in Rock Island, the team has grown to over 150 members and has consistently been among the top five show ski teams every year at the National Water Ski Show Tournament.
