Water skiing BPI
Re: Water skiing BPI
Hey Andrew. Could you let us know where to get a harness like that? My son Dustin was injured in accident about 9 months ago. He used to water ski but wouldn't go in the boat this year as he couldn't ski. This might help. He did para-sail once this summer on vacation. The Dr didn't seem to please with it. But Dustin had a fun time.

I will answer your question (and any others) in the original post just to keep the answers all in one place.
Re: Water skiing BPI
Well, not to brag, but I went skiing after my accident. It was fairly easy, but I was young then. At first I would put my arm inside my ski vest and close it up. I was afraid of breaking it when I let go........but I found out quickly that I had no balance and would fall to the side. I got so mad I took my arm out and held on and I got up!!! My dad was so nervous watching from the dock. He first said he couldn't watch but then I saw him standing there clapping for me!!! It can be done. I wasn't going to give up plus I had a very patient driver!!!
Good luck to all!!!!
