Just saw this on Shark Tank...

anybody seen or used these?

Sounds like it could work well for newbies ....

I'm seriously thinking about one for the Ninos.

My buddy has one and loves it. I borrowed it for a while when my kids were younger and they liked it.

Also worked good for beginners or friends they bring along that have never ridden a ski or board.

I haven’t seen him use it in a couple years…I can check with him and see if he wants to get rid of it if you want.

No Idea how I remember this but I do................back in the late 1950's we were at Clear Lake. Trying to teach my younger cousin how to ski....I think she was 4 at the time. We had a pair of old wooden skis, I think Blue Birds, about 4 1/2 ft long 7" wide and thick. We took a piece of rope and tied them together...................put tennis shoes on her and put her feet into the bindings. She was so small she could "stand on the water" when she stepped into the skis. The idea worked and she was skiing by the end of the day!!!!!!

We have one. They are good for the kids for kneeboarding , but not real good for standing on in my experience.

Great for kids to start getting behind the boat. The rope hooks onto the board so they don’t have to hang onto it and can focus on steadying themselves and enjoying something behind the boat.
