This is the inflatable trainer that teaches children the fundamentals of water skiing in an enjoyable, non-threatening manner. Rather than struggle with skis in the water, children step into the trainer from the boat, and take off from a stable seated position. The trainer's wide platform, padded handle, and foot bindings help children quickly learn how raise themselves to a standing position, and how to shift their weight to make turns. An observer in the boat holds the 40' tow rope so it can immediately be released after a spill, ensuring the trainer remains near the child. The trainer has an 800 denier inflatable cover with a built-in wood skimmer for exceptional stability, as well as making it easy to re-mount from the water. It is the only Youth Water Ski Trainer endorsed by USA Water Ski, the national governing body of organized water skiing. Supports up to 65 lbs. 12" H x 35" W x 47" L. (16 lbs.)
