Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Water Trix is a 1949 short film (ten minutes) directed and photographed by Charles Trego.It is one of the Pete Smith Specialties, a long-running series of live-action shorts produced by Pete Smith. Like many of the Pete Smith shorts, it is a documentary about an unusual subject. This one shows the talents of Preston Peterson, who was, in his day, one of the most famous surfers alive. The film shows Peterson doing a series of tricks on skis. Peterson straddles a log drifting in the water and loops in and out of a line of rocks. He also does a series of tricks with female stunt skiers, including one stunt where Peterson rides with two women on a single water ski, another stunt where a woman stands on his head, and a remarkable stunt where he catches a woman in midair, while skiing, after she leaps from a boat.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| Water Trix / int_14180452 | comment |
Instantly Proven Wrong: Deliberately invoked. As a woman balances precariously on Peterson's head, Smith says "They can do this for hours and hours." Right after that she falls off and he says "Correction: minutes and minutes." | |

| Water Trix / int_6d57a234 | comment |
Lemony Narrator: Pete Smith was always doing corny narration but this is one of the more extreme examples. He sets up cinematographer Charles Trego getting into the helicopter, then spends an inordinate amount of time wondering if he should call him "Mr. Trego" or "Charles". Finally he says "I'm supposed to fill in with words here, so, ya got words!" | |

Fanservice Extra: The various unnamed, shapely women doing stunts, both by themselves and with Peterson. As one woman poses on the boat in what for 1949 a pretty daring swimsuit, Smith wonders in his narration how Peterson could maintain his concentration. | |
