Water Skiing, Wake Boarding and Other Water Sports
High energy water sports such as water skiing and wake boarding are always fun, but you’ll enjoy the excitement a whole lot more if you make sure you’re safe, comfortable and well-prepared. Mad Divers stock a range of equipment to help you get the most out of your water sports experience, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro.
Crucially, staying safe in the water is about great preparation that will ensure that you’re ready to go, with all the right equipment on hand before you venture out onto the waves. So long as you make sure you’re ready, with everything you need both for participating in the sport itself and for getting warm and dry afterwards, sports such as water skiing and wake boarding can be an incredibly rewarding way to get fit and have fun on the water.
Safety Gear for Water Skiing and Other Water Sports
The most important part of our collection for fans of extreme sports like wake boarding and water skiing, is the safety equipment that can stop you from having a bad experience.
With items such as CE approved buoyancy aids on hand for both juniors and adults, you can be sure that you’re taking sensible precautions. It’s worth noting that buoyancy aids are generally designed to help those who can already swim have a more secure experience while participating in these water sports; they should not be used as a substitute for a life jacket for those who are not at all confident in the water!
This means that buoyancy aids are ideal for sports such as water skiing and wake boarding, where we would expect participants to be reasonably competent swimmers who can take advantage of the additional buoyancy to stay afloat should something go awry.
Essential Bits of Kit
Aside from safety gear, we also stock some of the essential tools that make these sports possible. This includes an inflatable tow rope, matts to help getting changed easier and discreet and, of course, the all-important towel – what water sports enthusiast could do without a good collection of these?
Of course, these items aren’t just available to individuals, but also to clubs and instructors who may want to get new supplies for their students. If you’re responsible for learners, and especially young learners, a focus on quality is absolutely paramount. As true lovers of water sports ourselves, we understand this and ensure that every product we stock offers the same great quality that we would expect from our own equipment.
Accessorise While You’re Out on the Water
While safety is the most important thing, there’s something to be said for a little bit of style. Accessories such as hats and fingerless gloves make sure that you look the part, with a great selection of colours and sizes to choose from. More importantly, these also have a practical use; it can get cold out there, and wrapping up warm is a good way to stay comfortable and enjoy yourself that little bit more.
Put Together a Pro Water Skiing and Wake Boarding Kit
While these products might be specifically for water sports, we also have a range of other essentials featured across our site, to help you put together a great kit that will serve you as you take to your skis or your board.
- Strong Water Boots: not a ‘waterproof’ boot, but one that has actually been designed to spend long amounts of time underwater. These will improve your grip and help you stay on your skis; just as you wouldn’t climb a mountain in plimsolls, you don’t want to start any water sports with the wrong footwear.
- A High Quality Wetsuit: wetsuits come in all shapes and sizes, so it’s important to find the one that feels right for you. Just make sure that you choose a strong, comfortable option that will give plenty of protection against the cold.
- Buoyancy Aid: as we’ve already discussed, this is important no matter how well you swim.
- Don’t forget the skis, board or other equipment! If you’re going to a club, find out what they expect you to provide before you show up for the first time.
