I think I need a smaller wakeboard than a 124 for the kiddos. I think they make a 111?

Liquid Force makes a 111. I wish we had it over our 124? Body glove.

Yep. And Hyperlite's kids Motive comes in a 109 and 119.

Here is me and my 7 year old Niece on Green Lake in beautiful Wisconsin. Being from Texas we all thought the water was freezing (75), but we had a great time! Worth the 2,600 mile tow!

Thanks for the tip. Just bought one on Ebay for $119 (new). The 124 was meant for 90 Lbs, just a little too big for my 9 year old. That was the smallest I could find. Checked out The House, Buywake, Wakside, ...

Nice. What boat made that wake? And how was it weighted?

(Homer Simpson) Ohhhhh ...I want to live in a neighborhood with a ski lake.

Cool pics everyone. I'll have to wait a few years before I get my son out. He's only 16 months. I joked with my wife that it might be too early this year to get him on skis and now she tells everyone I'm crazy Seriously, what is the starter age...3 or 4 if they're up for it?

My daughter is the second photo posted in this thread. She is two. We never made her do this, she wanted to. Loves it. I'm not trying to put here up on a wakeboard or a slalom ski at two. Not trying any world records. Just want her comfortable behind the boat by herself, and want her craving more water time. BKH

Thanks to Airtool's recommendation, I bought a Fun Board for my girls. They are five and eight. Last week was the first time we had it out. I was able to get the eight-year-old standing, but five-year-old would only go to her knees. No pressure, she'll stand when she's ready. All I know is they both enjoyed it and look forward to doing it a lot more!!!

BK... you are welcome. I searched and searched four years ago for something simple for my then three year old girl and four year old boy. I knew this would be the tool. We've had all types of kids on these things and three out at the same time. Some, like my son...stood up within minutes. He was five. My daugter "watched" for three days of vacation....then on the last day decided she would try and I couldn't get her off. It took a year for her to stand but she does it. Now she prefers the knee board because she can cut hard and jump the wake. She NEVER would have tried the kneeboard without the confidence she built on the Fun Board. They love to put a newby on the kneeboard in the middle and straddle the newby with two knee boards. They can then coach from the side.

Yesterday, my eight year old son was barefooting short line with Andre de Villiers. I know his confidence was built up long ago with his experience on the fun board.

Here is a pic of a buddy and his three year old girl from a few weeks ago.

Need I say more??

I thought I'd resurrect an old thread with a new photo...just as a reminder.

Not quite a "money shot" ...but pretty good.
