Whether you swim or not, you can water ski. It's a sport anyone can undertake if they love the water and its related activities.
There's basic water skiing equipment you need of course if you plan to pursue this sport or already do so.

Keeping Afloat Safely
Probably the most important equipment for water skiing is the life preserver. Many states mandate the use of a life preserver for any water sport activity. Make sure your preserver is brightly colored for added safety, has a snug fit and that you're able to keep your head above the water line when testing out one of these essential water skiing equipment supplies.
The Preferred Choice
When it comes to water skiing equipment, combination skis are the most commonly used skis. Because they have a broader tip, they are great for beginning water skiers. This makes this particular equipment for water skiing easier to learn on as the skier has greater control.
One Great Skiing Option
Where combination skis use two skis for gliding over the water, slalom skis provide the water enthusiast with one ski. This type of ski makes it possible for the skier to ski at greater speeds. Also, because of their level bottoms and broader tails, the beginning or recreational skier has a better advantage when getting up out of the water and staying upright. The slalom skis for advanced water skiers have a more tapered tail design, beveled edges and camber bottoms. These skis are more difficult to maneuver but by the same token allow the more advanced skier to go faster too.
Something for the Acrobat
If you're an acrobat on skis, then you might be interested in trick skis. Advanced acrobatics can be performed on these types of water skis including spins, jumps and the famous "loop-the-loop". These skis are designed with a broader ski area and shorter length. Unlike other water skis, there are no fins on the bottom so turns or slides can be better facilitated.
Jump skis as you might have guessed are used for jumping off ramps. Of course, if you're just beginning to water ski, these types of skis might be a "leap" for you to consider. As the information herein considers the beginning or recreational skier, we'll stick to the basic skis for review.
Skis for Kids
For training your children to water ski, trainers are offered by many sporting goods shops and water ski suppliers with ropes that adjust and crossbars at the tips of the skis in order to provide balance. Also such trainers provide a wider tail which adds lift for the skier when they're starting out. Most are extremely durable and made of composite materials that are injection molded for extra strength. Bindings offer security and additional comfort and can be adjusted for this purpose. Usually trainers are about 4 feet in length and can accommodate younger skiers up to one hundred pounds.
Selected Brands
You'll find many retailers who sell equipment for water skiing on the Internet. Some of the better known brands are Body Glove, Connelly, Ho, O' Brien and Radar among others.
Whether you're just a beginner, have been skiing for a while, or have younger members in your family who wish to ski, you can find the right skis to enjoy the sand, surf and sun that water skiing provides.
