Elvis water skiing in 1955 and 1956 And Ill bet some of you thought Elvis was capable only of faking water skiing in hollywood movies. The pics of Elvis in striped trunks were taken at McKellar Lake, July 1955. The other pics were taken at Bayou, part of Big Lake, near Biloxi, July 31, 1956. June Juanico: Elvis had mentioned his love for water skiing to Eddie (Bellman), and wanted to hire a boat for the day. He didnt care to go on a specified route, with a ski instructor, for a ten-minute ride. He wanted to go it alone for as long as he pleased. Eddie, along with a friend, drove in the driveway pulling a boat behind the car. They launched the boat across the bayou with Elvis, extremely sunburned from the fishing trip, wearing a long-sleeve shirt and long pants to protect his tender skin from the sun. I sat on the bank with his mom and dad, and we watched the boys skiing up and down the bayou.
