What equipment do you need to prepare for water skiing?

1, traction equipment

There are usually two kinds of towing equipment for water skiing, one is a tugboat, which specializes in water skiing, and the other is a cable. At present, the most widely used water-skiing tugboat in the world. Tugboats are generally made by professional water-skiing tugboat manufacturing companies, with a horsepower of about 300 horses. The design of ship type meets the needs of skiers for wake. Water-skiing tugboats are expensive, and the price of a tugboat is usually more than 40 thousand dollars, which belongs to Mercedes-Benz in small motorboats. Not long after the ropeway traction equipment appeared, it was almost the same as the alpine ropeway, except that the alpine ropeway was enclosed in a closed site, and a special frequency conversion device was installed on the ropeway, which could increase the traction speed from more than 20 km/h to 60 km/h. The biggest advantage of the traction equipment is that it can be set up in a small water area in the city center, but the one-time investment is large.

There are many kinds of water skis (professionally called water skis), each of which represents a water skiing sport. Commonly used are platform snowboarding, rotary snowboarding, pattern snowboarding, tail snowboarding, kneeling snowboarding and so on.

3. Warm clothes

Generally speaking, water skiers wear warm clothes for several purposes. On one hand, they can swim when the water temperature is low. On the other hand, warm clothes are made of synthetic materials such as sponge and rubber, which have certain buoyancy and can help skiers surface when they accidentally fall into the water. In addition, the design of the new warm clothes is very beautiful, like a special swimsuit, which makes people look "cool". Some girls use it for sun protection.

For safety reasons, some water skiing events require skiers to wear life jackets, such as jumping and spinning. It is almost compulsory for beginners to wear life jackets. Because of the buoyancy of life jackets, skiers can float in the water without drowning.

5, water skiing drag rope

Water-skiing tow rope is generally woven from glass fiber, with a diameter of about 1 cm, and can generally bear thousands of kilograms of tension without deformation or fracture. The length of towing rope varies with different water skiing events.

The length of jumping towline is 2 1.5m, and the length of winding towline is16.75m. This mode has no limit on the length of rope. In the jumping competition, the length of towing rope is 23 meters; Due to the athletes' competition progress, the towing rope length of slalom is determined by the referee according to 18m 25, 16m, 14m 25, 13m, 12m 25,1m25. The pattern and ending competition can be chosen by athletes according to their own personal habits, but it is generally about 20 meters.

Step 6 pull the handle

The water skiing handle is a handle held by the skier and connected with the traction rope. The shape is similar to a triangle, and the top end is provided with a ring sleeve which can be connected with a traction rope. The handle part is a round tube made of alloy, and the jacket is made of rubber. The handle is generally buoyant, even if it falls into the water, it will float on the water.
