Do you have any old boxes of hundred dollar bills stashed that you don't need? :)

Seen one, hell, I learned to ski on one back in the early 80s. They work great. Small kids can ski at idle in the no wake zones.

haha, that's what happened when I taught my wife before we were married. Gave her a quick lesson, tossed her in the river and as we were idling up river my friend's wife looked to see if she was ready and she was standing up on the skis.

My dad and uncle taught my two girl cousins with the skis tied together and pulling them by hand in the local swimming pool. This was back in the mid 60s and they were about 3 and 5.

Taught some little kids to ski on those, one of whom we pulled by hand across the River Reflactions pool a whole bunch of times before dropping her in the river. Her first ride on the river lasted 20 minutes or so until they finally stopped the boat.

The guy that made them lived in Lakeside 5.

WHaT! Not me
I could use one off those for the grand kids !

It came out of a house I was cleaning up. I'll ask how much they want for it.

Are you wanting to sell it by chance? I think one of those might be a way to get my son with Cerebral Palsy up behind a boat....



The Meade Snake just called me and said he wants it.
I'm waiting to hear back from the owner to see if it's for sale.

Because of trainers like that, that connected the skis to the boat, I was deathly afraid of skiing for years. When I was little, about 4 or 5, my dad was trying to tech me how to ski with the kit that tied the skis together and the rope went from the tie to the boat and the handle went to the skis. Well, my Dad's bestfriend that was driving wasn't paying attention enough and ended up dragging me for what felt like an eternity at that age.
