Question

What should a five year old start out on waterskis or wakeboard? If a wakeboard what size?

Answer 1

children should always start on skis because early in their life they will learn to stay stable on the water and then they can learn anything, like me for example, i started waterski at 6 and now, ten years later i do all the kinds of waterski there is. when a child starts on wakeboard he doesnt want to do anything else because its too hard...

Answer 2

i would say  five year's old is way to young to be on both of them,unless you were on with the child if he or she falls off  how are you going to get to them in time even with a life jacket it is way to dangers,and the child would be so small what if another boater did not see them,is it even legal?
