Norwegian exchange student Ingebjorg Midtaune is keen to try most things while in New Zealand - but taking part in a rare pyramid on her first foray in water skiing is one of her favourite achievements.
Inge, 17, is an STS exchange student staying with the Rouse family at Hukerenui and, on January 3, took part in a water skiing pyramid at Ngunguru just minutes after putting on water skis for the first time.
Inge's skill, and willingness to try everything, has amazed her host mother Leanne Rouse.
The Rouses are an outdoors family and Mrs Rouse said they wanted to include Inge in all their activities, if she wanted.
But she is so keen to get stuck in there's no stopping her.
