ABSTRACT:
A water ski has an automatic step-in binding which remains open while a skier is being pulled from the water and closes when the skier steps into the binding after being pulled from the water. The rear closure of the step-in binding pivots around an axis at the heel when the skier enters the binding, and is engaged by a latch which secures the rear closure in a closed position. Alternatively, the rear closure of the step-in binding includes a heelpiece which moves slidably along a track. The heelpiece is moved slidably along the track by a spring which is released when the skier steps into the binding by a trigger assembly and trigger lip.
