Ladies and gentlemen, a water skiing GOAT!
All Black legend Richie McCaw has shared a slice of his summer with fans on social media, showing off his skills by carving up a southern lake on a single water ski.
The World Cup winner looks perfectly at home in the shortclip as he deftly cuts through the wake of the boat towing him, his hulking frame balanced atop the one ski as he skips across the water.
The video was set to U2′s song Beautiful Day, an apt choice for the perfect conditions and stunning setting.
McCaw’s summer show-off might be one of his last opportunities to get out on the water for a while, with the dedicated dad expecting his third child with wife Gemma McCaw.
The pair of Kiwi sporting heroes are already the proud parents of Charlotte and Grace, but announced earlier this year that they are expecting another team member to join them soon.
Ex-hockey star Gemma took to Instagram in September to share a photograph of herself and her husband with their daughters, saying they couldn’t be happier.
The delighted couple and their children wore matching pink hues in the photo, which set the social media platform alight and brought out the Kiwi stars.
Richie’s former teammate Israel Dagg congratulated Gemma with a tongue-in-cheek comment.
“Well done gem can we still golf Wednesdays,” he wrote.
