WATER SKI KNEEBOARD
Key Code: 42938095
Sport Introduction
This product is designed to be used as a water ski knee board. As an aquatic sport, the participant is towed on a
buoyant, convex, and hydrodynamically shaped board at a planned speed, most often behind a motorboat. In the
usual configuration of a tow-sport kneeboard, riders kneel on their heels on the board, and secure themselves to
the deck with an adjustable velcro strap over their thighs.
How to Use Kneeboard
1. Begin by lying flat on your belly on top of the kneeboard while floating behind the center of the boat.
2. Grip onto each side of the board with your elbows resting on the kneepad. Your feet should be dangling off the
back of the board in the water.
3. Then you can place the handle of the towrope in the hook to get you started.
4. Make sure the towrope is pulled tight and stretched all the way out between you and the back of the boat.
5. When the boat slowly begins to move forward, bring your knees up the board until they reach your elbows and
center them on the kneepad.
6. Once you feel comfortable, you can signal your driver to increase the speed. The appropriate cruising speed
varies depending on a rider’s weight and skill level of rider. Drivers need to be conscious of their speed when
towing a kneeboarder.
7. Rock your weight back onto your heels and situate your body into the riding position.
8. Pull the towrope out of the hook and hold onto the handle. Please be sure to keep your knuckles up and your
arms stretched all the way out in front of you.
9. Be sure to secure the velcro strap over your thighs to lock yourself in place on the board.
10. To steer the kneeboard, point your head and shoulders in the direction you would like to turn. This will turn the
front of the board and allow you to apply pressure to the edge of the board in the direction you are steering.
Warning
1. Use of this product and participation in the sport involves inherent risk of injury or death.
2. Use only on water. This is not a flotation or safety device.
3. Kneeboard strap should not be used by small children or inexperienced riders.
4. Keep your kneeboard in control and do not let the speeds exceed your ability.
5. Know the waterways where you will be riding. Do not ride in shallow water, near shore, jetties, swimmers, or
the other watercraft.
6. Always have a person other than the boat driver as an observer and agree hand signals before starting.
7. Always wear a vest.
8. Riders who fall off can be caught in the strap, trapped under an overturned board and drowned.
9. Beginners should be towed at boat speeds that allow for good control and stability. Too slow is better than too
fast.
