DARTFORD’S Damien Sharman is set to compete for Great Britain in this week’s European water ski championships at Thorpe in Surrey.
Sharman will compete in the jump competition individually and as part of the Great British team.
He is ranked number two in the European and number four in the world elite rankings and will join 150 of the top water skiers in Europe for the most high-profile water skiing event held in the UK for 20 years.
Skiers from 30 countries will take to the water to do battle at the highest level for team and individual discipline glory, and the highly successful British jump team known as British Air Force, is expected to continue its winning streak.
The disciplines of slalom skiing, jumping and trick skiing will all be on show and the action will culminate with some nail-biting finals on Saturday and Sunday.
Britain’s team features many European and world champions in all disciplines and will be keen to make a mark in their home event.
