Jim Grew Inducted Into International Waterski Hall of Fame
The International Waterski & Wakeboard Federation has announced the 2019 inductees, including our very own Jim Grew, to its International Hall of Fame. The induction ceremony took place in conjunction with the 2019 Water Ski World Championships at the Putrajaya International Convention Center on Aug. 16 in Putrajaya, Malaysia.
Jim Grew has been involved in all sorts of water sports — including on frozen water — since before our time at Yale, including especially “towed water sports.” In his 50th reunion essay details his long, prolific and distinguished career — including accomplishments, honors and many contributions to the sport as competitor, coach, official and organizer.
This international honor follows similar recognition of Jim’s contributions to the sport by the American Water Ski Educational Foundation Hall of Fame, which inducted Jim in 2013.
Congrats, Jim!
