A pair of combo skis is where most of us start — two skis, stable and forgiving, to get up and skiing with confidence. Combos here from Radar, HO, O'Brien, Connelly and KD, for kids through to adults.
Combo water skis are a matched pair of skis ridden two-footed, one foot on each ski. They're how most people first learn to waterski: with two skis under you the ride is stable and forgiving, so you can focus on getting up out of the water and finding your balance rather than fighting the gear. From there, many skiers progress to dropping a ski and skiing slalom. There are a few shapes. Traditional combos have been around for decades and give a balanced, predictable ride. Wide-body and hybrid combos carry more surface area, which means more lift, easier deep-water starts and a more stable platform — the best choice for teaching first-timers, heavier skiers, or anyone skiing at slower boat speeds. The extra width shelters the body from the water's pull during the start, which is where most beginners struggle. Sizing is by skier weight, and the range runs from small kids' trainer skis right up to full-size adult combos. Kids' trainer skis are the smallest, often joined by a bar or rope to keep the skis together while a child finds their feet. Many junior combos come with adjustable bindings so they grow with the skier. Adult combos are sold in lengths matched to weight — heavier skiers need a longer, higher-lift ski. Combo bindings are designed to release the foot easily in a fall, which reduces the risk of ankle injury. Beginner and intermediate bindings are deliberately not tight, and that's correct — a learner doesn't need a locked-in binding, they need one that lets go. Brands here include Radar, HO, O'Brien, Connelly, KD and Ez Ski, covering kids' trainers through to stable adult learning skis. Browse the full range online or visit the Brisbane store.
Yes — we stock kids’ trainer and combo skis in smaller sizes for younger, lighter skiers, some joined by a bar or rope to keep the skis together while they learn. See our combo ski buyer’s guide for sizing.
With the right skis, yes. Wide-body and hybrid combos have far more surface area than a traditional pair, which gives easier starts and a more stable ride — the best setup for teaching a first-timer how to get up and stay up.
Sizing is by skier weight — heavier skiers need a longer ski for enough lift, and there are dedicated kids’ and youth lengths for lighter skiers. Each pair lists a suitable weight range, and the buyer’s guide breaks down sizing in detail.
Combo skis are a pair ridden two-footed and are how you learn; a slalom ski is a single ski ridden on one foot once you’ve progressed. Many skiers start on combos, then move to a slalom ski.
