Engage in sport: risk a wet trip? (5-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

water-ski

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

'engage in sport' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'risk a wet trip?' is the wordplay.
'trip?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'trips' mean this).
'risk'+'a'+'wet'='riskawet'
'riskawet' is an anagram of 'WATER-SKI'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for water-ski that I've seen before include "Tweak sir (anag)" , "Travel behind boat on boards" , "Item used in aquatic sport" , "Engage in aquatic sport" , "Aquatic sport accessory" .)
