Water Skis

Shaped
Shaped skis are generally wider and shorter, providing greater stability, which is great for beginners.Slalom
Slalom skis are wide at the front and taper toward the back. They allow for tight turns and rapid acceleration, and are favorable for experienced skiers.Combo
Combo skis come as a pair, with two bindings on one ski, and one on the other, so that riders can choose to ride with both feet on one ski, or one foot on each.What Size Water Skis Do I Need?
Binding size is determined by your foot size, but the size of the actual ski depends on the weight of the skier, and the speed they will be traveling. There are charts for finding the right size, but an approximate rule is that a person 150-180 pounds will want a ski around 66’’-67’’ long, with an inch more or less for every 15-20 pounds up or down.Ski Binding

Tow Rope

Skier Down Flag
A skier down flag is an orange safety flag used to alert other boats that a water skier or water ski tow line is in the water nearby. In some states, it is required by law that the boat crew raise a skier down flag whenever a skier or line is in the water.
What Other Equipment Do I Need?

Life jackets are recommended any time you’re in or on the water. Other water skiing accessories may include gloves, which can be useful for protecting your hands and keeping a good grip on the tow line when wet, and a waterproof bag to protect valuables.
