My (10 year old) son recently learned to water ski on a pair of old wooden 30+ year old skis tied together. We decided to upgrade to some newer skis, and these skis have made a HUGE difference. The wide front of the skis as well as the beveled bottoms make these skis incredibly stable and easy to stand up on. The stabilizing bar that you can attach to the front of the skis (optional / removable) will make learning even easier for my daughters (6 and 7 year old) who are anxious to try next! Finally, the next step, to slalom skiing, will come more easily as they learn to lift one leg using a stable ski with a slalom boot.

These skis are great to use and easy to assemble. My grandkids got up on the first try. Making learning to water ski easy and fun. I forgot to tighten the screw for the bar, and the bar came undone. But O'Brien had a lock washer on the screw, so nothing was lost. Thank you, O'Brien, for thinking way ahead. Note to self to check the screw for the bar after every use.

got this for grandkid learning. He tried on some old wood kids skis and never had any luck getting up. On these he got up pretty easily. Kind of pricey but are worth it. they look like they will hold up for all the other grandkids to learn on, so its worth the money. they even have the rear boot for slalom. I would highly recommend these for someone starting out and for kids wanting to try slalom.

These were perfect for teaching my son how to water ski. He was 11yo and was able to get up on second try. The stabilizer bar attaches and removes with ease and keeps the tips together so they pop right out of the water on the wholeshot. They are a little bit difficult for him to tighten the boot. Overall 4.5 stars.

The skis seem to be of good quality.1 issue is the boots, size M 2-7, have a fairly tight instep (the top part of the foot). There is plenty of length but instep is really tight. My grandson 6yr is a fairly big kid and has a size M 5 shoe. The boot was way too tight on his instep; the length was fine. We had to struggle to get his foot in the boot.

These skis were great for our 6 and 9 year old girls. The six year old popped out of the water with me coaching her on her 2nd trip, our 9 year old had been skiing on an older pair of trainers and she said she loved these more. The 9 year old got up and slalomed last week for the first time and rode for almost a mile. I'd highly recommend these if you don't live close to a true water sports store. I tried Dicks, Cabellas, Bass Proshops, and several local sporting goods stores and none of them had skiis as nice as these

Bought these to teach two high anxiety kids, 8 and 10 yrs old how to waterski. One is 52 inches tall and the other 54. After extensive on shore coaching, they were both able to get up on their first try and absolutely fell in love with water-skiing. That alone made the purchase woth it to me. We used the tie rod that came with the skiis, which really helped. The kids would not have been strong enough to keep the skiis together on their own. They kept wanting to ski until they were too tired to keep going. A woman who was about 5'2" and maybe 110 lbs tried the skiis and said they were good enough for her. So there's definitely room to grow. I'd recommend this product to any beginner.

Kids have had fun trying to learn. Disappointed that the bar that helps keep them together snapped off on the first attempt.
