Risk a wet trip? (5-3)

I believe the answer is:

water-ski

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'risk a wet trip?' is the definition.
The definition and answer are not the same part of speech.

'risk a wet trip?' is the wordplay.
'trip?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'trips' mean this).
'risk'+'a'+'wet'='riskawet'
'riskawet' with letters rearranged gives 'WATER-SKI'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for water-ski that I've seen before include "Glide over a lake or sea" , "Item used in aquatic sport" , "Travel behind speedboat" , "Get towed behind a motorboat" , "Be towed behind a speedboat" .)
