Connelly Firecraker - Platform Style Waterski Trainer

A single-piece “U” shaped design provides youngsters with the most stable platform to learn the basics of skiing. The integrated two-handle rope system is held by a spotter and connects directly to the platform and then extends to the rider. This eliminates the burden of holding yourself up on starts, and the spotter can drop the handle to release the rider when they’re done.

Make this the summer your little ones conquer the lake! Designed specifically for young beginners, the Connelly Firecracker Platform Trainer takes the frustration and fear out of learning to water ski. Whether you're spending the weekend in cottage country or exploring Canada's vast lakes, this premium trainer is built to build confidence and get your kids smiling on the water faster. Unlike traditional combo skis, the Firecracker features a highly stable, single-piece "U" shape that keeps kids perfectly balanced without them having to struggle to hold themselves up.

Stress-Free Deep Water Starts: The genius of the Firecracker is its integrated two-handle rope system. The rope connects directly to the platform rather than pulling the child. This eliminates the heavy burden of the boat's pull on their small arms during the start.

Spotter-Controlled Safety: One handle goes to the child, and the other is held by an adult spotter in the boat. If the child loses their balance, the spotter simply drops the handle, releasing the skier safely and instantly.

Unmatched Stability: The wide, U-shaped bamboo deck acts like a solid floor on the water, letting kids get comfortable with the sensation of gliding before they transition to separate skis.

Secure & Comfortable: Soft foot straps and grippy traction pads keep tiny feet safely locked in place, fitting kid shoe sizes 1 through 4.
