How-To Guides — Set Up and Get the Most From Your Towed-Watersports Gear
Once the gear's home, the work starts. These are the setup and riding guides our team writes for our own customers — fin positions, boot mounts, foil assembly, rope length, wetsuit care, the lot.
Every guide is written by riders. Waterskiers World has been Australia's dedicated towed-watersports specialist since 1977, and the staff writing these guides are on the water every weekend with the same gear you've just bought. If we explain it here, we've done it ourselves — usually a hundred times
