CWB Connelly Firecracker, Kids Waterski Trainer, red/White/Blue, 48in/ 1-4'

Brought this ski for out 21 month old daughter. The foot holes are a bit large for her right now but I prefer that as she can grow into it. Came with all of the required rope and allows for short and long line as they get better at skiing. Super colorful and fun design, cant wait to test it out in a few months when then warm weather arrives.

I ordered these trainer skis for my 9 year old daughter who wanted to water ski with the big kids. Here's how to works: The tow line is actually attached to the skis/board itself. Someone on the boat holds the other end of the tow line so that if your skier gets in trouble they can quickly let go. The skier holds a handle that is attached to the board. This takes considerably less balance when trying to get up on the skis/board since the handle and board are together. The skis themselves are attached together and cannot be separated. My 9 year old was able to get up on the skis on the 4th try with me in the water helping level out the board and pushing her up to launch. After a few tries she could do it on her own without anyone helping. She has a great time skiing on these and I am sure when she graduates to big skis it will be no problem now that she has the feel for it.

We tried a different set of kid's skis that were attached at the top. Only frustration. I think the skis being together and having a wider base was the key. My 9 and 12 year old nephews were successful on their first try! One thing we did discover is to be careful of the kids' weight. Not because of the skis but for the person holding the other end of rope.

Perfect ski for beginners! We got our 4 year old and 6 year old up on this ski with no troubles. One thing to note, start them on the beach just barely in the water. have someone hold the tips up out of the water and slowly pull away from the shore (you don't need to gun it). If you follow this steps, they get up SUPER easy and quickly. Tons of fun

Easy for 5 yr old to stay up. Adult had to be in the water to keep child oriented at start. Very easy to hold the rope with your bare hands if you needed to instead of tying off to boat

All three kids got up on this the first day. builds confidence.

I may have received a defective product, when the product arrived it was in good condition. I place the board in the boat for about two weeks before we used and the board had developed several cracks along the bamboo seams. The cracks are not paint cracks but actual cracks in the board itself. We used the board anyways and 2 out of 3 kids 8 and under popped right up and skied. After we used the board in the water I could tell the cracks were getting worse so returned the board. The product does work but not sure if my board was defective or this is a common theme for this product.

We were skeptical, but it worked amazing and got our very timid daughter out on the water at 5 years old.
