skier
Starting your journey as a skier is simple and exciting! You can purchase a New Skier's Combo to get everything you need for your first waterski race, and completing a straightforward online skier safety test will have you ready in no time. We’ll even set you up with a mentor for your first race to guide you through the experience. If you don’t have a boat, team, or any equipment, just let us know - we’re here to help. All you need is a wetsuit, lifejacket, your favourite ski, and a handle. And if you’re missing any of these, don’t worry - we’ve got you covered! Check out more here.
