ABSTRACT:
A Slalom water skiing handle positioning method and device. Target patches such as hook and loop fasteners such as Velcro.RTM. are attached along the right and left front hips of a water skier and additionally on a tow rope handle. The locations of the target patches on the hip are selected to optimize where a water skier passing through wakes in a Slalom course usually uses when pulling a tow bar handle against their hip. The target patches can be attached to the hips by a waist belt having removable covers that expose the target patches or by directly attaching the target patches to the front of a wet suit worn by a water skier. The target patches can also be formed from reusable plastic and nylon tape, and plastic and metal snapable buttons.
