Waterski & Wakeboard Coaching | Waterskiers World × Les Walters

Whether you’ve got a quick technique question or you’re chasing a competition-level breakthrough, there’s a path for you. Our Brisbane team offers free advice in-store, by phone, and by email. For structured, hands-on coaching, we proudly recommend Les Walters — one of Australia’s most accredited towed-watersports coaches.

Free Advice From Our Team

We’ve been selling towed-watersports gear in Brisbane for more than 20 years. That means most of the questions you’ve got, we’ve answered before — what size board fits your weight, which slalom ski is right for your skill level, why your boots aren’t holding, how to nurse an old ski through one more season.

Free advice is the start of every conversation with us. Whether you’ve bought from us or not. Phone, email, walk-in, or DM us on Instagram — pick whatever’s easiest. We won’t charge you for a question, and we won’t push you towards gear you don’t need.

When You Need Professional Coaching

Free advice gets you a long way. But there’s a point where progression stalls — the bad habits become muscle memory, the technique plateaus, and another season passes without the breakthrough you wanted.

Professional coaching solves this. A few hours with a great coach will save you years of half-progress and frustrated falls. It’s also genuinely fun.

We don’t offer coaching as Waterskiers World — it’s not our craft. What we do is recommend the best in the business. For decades, that’s been Les Walters.

Les coaches separately under his own business. Booking, scheduling and payment are all handled by Les directly — we just make the introduction.

Accredited coach. Lifelong competitor. Quietly relentless about getting you better.

Meet Les Walters

Les Walters is an accredited and internationally recognised water ski coach and competitor with decades of experience across every level of the sport. He’s coached athletes from first-time skiers through to world champions. What sets him apart isn’t just the technical mastery — it’s the methodical, calm coaching style that breaks the complex into understandable, repeatable steps. Athletes who’ve struggled for seasons make sudden, measurable progress with Les because he sees the actual cause of a problem rather than the symptom you’ve been chasing. His coaching philosophy is holistic — technical precision, strength and conditioning, competitive strategy, and the mental side of performance. He prepares athletes physically and mentally, while keeping enjoyment of the sport at the centre of every session. Les has competed at elite level not only in water skiing but in athletics and cycling, which gives him a sharp understanding of what world-class preparation actually looks like across disciplines. His coaching is offered through his own business. He returned to Australia recently, and his coaching is again available to recreational skiers, families, clubs and competitive athletes across the country.

“About my coach Les Walters, words can’t describe this guy’s knowledge and dedication to helping others in the sport.” > — Angus, Australian Champion Tournament Skier
