Buyer's Guides — Choose the Right Gear with Australia's Towed-Watersports Specialist

These are the buyer's guides our team uses on the showroom floor — written for the customer who knows what they want to do on the water but is choosing between specific products, sizes, brands and price points.

Every recommendation in every guide is tested by the Waterskiers World team. We've been Australia's dedicated towed-watersports specialist since 1977, we carry the biggest range in the country across our 500sqm Brisbane showroom, and we ride the gear we sell every weekend. If a product earns a spot in one of our buyer's guides, somebody on staff has put hours on it.

what you'll find here

Every guide gives you:

• Clear picks for beginner, intermediate and advanced riders
• Honest comparisons between the best 3–6 options in each category
• Pros and cons of each product — not just marketing copy from the brand
• Our staff have been on the water to give you the best advice
