ABSTRACT:
A unique water ski device for use with a tow rope for allowing the rider to ride on, above or below the surface of the water, includes a riding platform rigidly affixed above a hydrofoil by a detachable bent pole, flanged on each end, so that it can be dismantled for easy transport and storage. The riding platform has a ski handle affixed by ropes for use by the rider as a balancing aid. The riding platform has a nonskid surface for the safety of the user. The length of the pole can be of various lengths up to and above 10 feet in length. The device is towed behind a boat by means of a two rope which is affixed to the forward end of the riding platform. The rider rides on the top of the riding platform in a standing position and by shifting his or her weight forward or backward controls the height of the device above, on or below the water surface.
