ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a leg support for use on towless water skis, the water skis each defining an elongated buoyant thick ski and an orifice on the top surface of the ski leading to a foot cavity. The leg support is adapted to be positioned adjacent to the orifice on the ski top surface. The leg support comprises a lower rod and an upper rod, pivotally interconnected by an intermediate hinge. The lower rod is pivotally fixed to the ski top surface, while the upper rod is pivotally fixed to a loop band, the latter for being releasably tightened around the calf and tibia of a ski user. Each of the pivotal connections are hinges which permit a movement only in a plane perpendicular to the ski footrest and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the ski. This restriction in movement prevents the user from loosing his stability, for he cannot rotate his ankle in another plane than the above-mentioned plane, and he can thus prevent the drifting of his skis with more ease.
