Disclosed is a method of measuring the performance of a maneuvering water skier. A series of angular measurements are made on the ski rope relative to a predetermined direction. This information, together with timing information is provided to a computer processing unit which calculates a score after predetermined maneuvers are completed. An apparatus for making both angle and force measurements is described.
