It looks like fun and the price has dropped by $200 since last year. Has anyone tried it?
Thanks Rob
Here is a youtube video of it.

Finally! The lazy man's waterski. :lol:
It just needs a cup/beer holder.

Absolutely,
I wish my knees would allow me to ski but it gets harder every year.
Last year I stuck to kneeboarding. That was easier on the old knees.
I can easily add the beer can holder.
I will skip the TP holder though.
:D

Yup I gave up on the waterskiing years ago. The older I got the more pain was involved.
Nice to see someone make a watersports device for us old dudes. :D

As a competitive skier for the better part of my life I don't have pain in my knees. Guess I'm lucky.

Dad had something similar to this as a kid. But his was an old wooden pair of cypress garden twins with a wooden beach chain nailed to it. And a milk crate to hold a 6pack, they would cruse around for miles with someone in the ski sipping cold ones.

Picked it up at a yard sale a few years ago. Its kinda fun, but there is one flaw. If you study the video, you'll notice that when you cut hard the spray is directed to a vital tender area located very near the seat!
We just call it the THING.

Keep watching your local classifieds, swap meets yard sales etc. I got the one in the picture for $15.00. Wish you were closer lieutenant, you could give it a try!

So you don't have any knee pain at the ripe old age of 27? That's amazing :?
