Airhead EZ Ski 100

We bought this little ski trainer for our 4 and almost 3 year-old children. It was an instant hit as they love the idea of something that is just for them and cute! The trainer is well-built with nice valves and it's own handles for towing and pulling. The material covering the bladders seems nice and thick so we're expecting it to last well.

We loaded each kid on directly from the boat (as Lake Mead was a little cold at the time) and then pulled them by hand at approx 10mph. They liked it, but didn't dare stand up the first time. They had a couple of goes each and then were indifferent.

The next time out, with the water a little warmer, they loved it. They were standing up and enjoying the feeling of 'skiing!' I'm sure they will grow to love the device. Whether it teaches them much about skiing I don't know, but so far as a fun activity, its been great.

I bought this for my 5 yr old Granddaughter , she had experienced being on a big tube with her father before. She wanted to try to ski , but felt the real skis were to much to start out with . We practiced on the lawn , sitting and standing holding the rope. I took her out to the calmest part of the lake with no boat traffic, she sat on the EZ ski for a few minutes ,she drifted back ( motor off ) I used a 35 ft rope . I went 5-8 miles an hour , the wake was high. I felt 10-12 was better , she learned all the hand signals before going out, fast , slow , stop. her parents were nervous, but she was having a blast , she smiled the whole way , she rode for about 20 minutes .
The EZ Trainer itself is very sturdy , more than I expected. I did read about it in the add, but it was much more quality than advertised I felt.
She never fell off the ski. Falling off being by yourself for a few moments will be the next challenge for her, and Me.

What a great idea! and a great product. Well made, durable and now my sons favorite water toy. Can be towed at very slow speeds for young children. My son started on this inflatable siting down and riding it like a jet-ski. He now stands up and is starting to steer the unit using his lower body (he is 7 1/2). I would highly recommend this product, especially for its safety at slow speeds.

This trainer is wonderful! We bought it for our 4 year old so he could get used to being out in the water alone being pulled behind our boat. He prefers to be sitting most of the time but there are times when he stands up and seems like a natural. I recommend to anyone who wants their little ones to learn to ski. Now he talking about real skies but just am not there yet.
