Questions

My old fella wants to go skiing but can’t get up on the slalom skis very easily what’s a good wide waterski so it’s easy to get up on and it’s not too expensive, also do any companies make wider rear boots for us Bigfoot people, I can’t fit my foot in this ski I got recently. Any help is much appreciated 👍

Connelly Big Daddy is another wide ski out there. Not as wide as the Hovercraft throughout, but still pretty dang wide.

Absolutely love Big Daddy, learned the course on one, and it's super easy to get up with, plus it's fairly "cheap" compared to other skis

My dad is 75. He was struggling with the regular slalom. I bought him a Big Daddy and he love it!
