Looks awesome for little ones. Congrats on getting them behind the boat!

I just picked one up at our boat show as the dealer had them made with their logo on it. My little girl (16 month old) will try it out this weekend. We will start by pulling her beside the dock and swimming behind it. I can see how it will make her comfortable behind the boat and a good learning tool.

Oh yeah, the 'Bu. My buddy just bought that thing for 10k. SUPER clean. It's a 2000 Malibu Sportster with 95 hours on it. Driven a couple times a year by the original owner. I can't really hassle him about that buy even if it is a 'Bu and he tows it with is Yota.

I was going to say, So easy a BU can do it? Good pics of great times!

Looks like she had a blast! Well worth the money!

She looks really serious behind the boat. We thought that maybe she wasn't having all that much fun. That is until we got her back to the boat and she said, "No, try again." She just takes her fun serious. Just like her old man.

Thanks. It really does work awesome.

I dragged my little girl up down the hallway and let her hang out on it for a couple days just so she was comfortable with it before even getting on the water. Once we hit the water, she was ready to go. Good luck.

Yup. On both accounts.

Finally getting ready to buy an EZ Ski trainer for our toddler. I have seen several threads on this over the years and all seem very positive. Never seen the product below $179.



This Airhead EZ Ski looks to be a cheaper version of the EZ Ski (the Overtons description says it has wooden ski base). Anyone have any experience with this one? (EDIT: looks like KwikTek/Airhead either bought the EZSki company or licensed out the product and name).


And while this is not for toddlers, the Rave Aqua Buddy trainer looks really interesting ... from the reviews, it even helps adults. I wonder if sitting on it backwards would help people struggling to get up on a surfboard?

That aqua buddy looks like a great idea. I've been working on getting the kid to get comfortable on her new Radars but, have yet to get her to actually ride behind the boat. The aqua buddy looks like it would be awesome for getting the little ones going on real skis.

Check out these inflatable Ski Tips. Might help your little one keep those tips out of the water.

I can't believe kids as young as 16 months can do this. My son just turned 2 and I still don't leave him in the bath tub alone, let alone skiing behind the boat.

Our little boy is 19 months and has been in weekly swim class since he was 5 months. Always in a PFD on the boat of course and he loves every minute of it. He is a fish and, truthfully, a terror in the bathtub (and we never leave him alone in the tub).

The EZ ski is not attached to the boat. An adult sits on the transom holding the relatively short tow line. The inflatable is supposed to be super stable but if the little one does go in the water, the adult jumps in the water.

That sounds a bit better. We haven't been to the lake at all yet this year so it will be his first year floating on his own. Swimming lessons just barely started too. I still don't see mommy authorizing it though.
