O'Brien

Choosing O'Brien Gear for Your Family

O'Brien has been building water skis and towables for decades, and the range we stock covers the gear that gets a whole family on the water. The Celebrity and Vortex combo skis are the core — a pair of shaped skis with adjustable bindings, sized for adults, youth and juniors, with the wide, stable shapes that make deep-water starts easier for learners. Combo skis are the usual starting point: you ski on both, and most pairs include a release bar or rope to keep the skis together while a beginner finds their feet. For kids' trainers, the boat-end of any training rope must always be held by a responsible adult, never tied to the boat, so it can be let go the instant a child falls. Further up the range, O'Brien kneeboards and trick skis step into performance territory. The Enforcer is a stiff, high-end kneeboard for riders chasing edge control and pop, and the trick skis are built for the tournament trick event — short, flat and fin-free for spins and surface tricks. These suit progressing and advanced riders rather than first-timers. The collection also carries the spares that keep O'Brien gear running — binding bolt kits, kneeboard side bars, tube valves and adaptors — handy when a part wears out rather than the whole board. Browse the full O'Brien range online or visit the Brisbane store — give us a call and we'll size a combo ski to the rider's weight and the boat's speed.
