Single and multiple plane contoured water ski corrective wedges secured or formed between the water ski bindings and water skis are provided to position a water skier's feet on water skis in closer to normal positions relative to their legs, knees, and hips to provide better control of the water skis and to comfortably position the water skier's feet to avoid improper stressing of their feet, knees, legs and back. Better overall water ski performances are accomplished as the water skier uses his or her forefoot more extensively than previously, when most control was derived from the using of only the rearfoot. Depending on the selections made by water skiers, they use single and/or multiple plane contoured receiving corrective wedges, under either one or both of their feet. These water ski corrective wedges are used with a slalom water ski, and with water skis to be used at the same time on the respective right and left foot of a water skier. The water ski corrective wedges are made separately, and/or preformed with the bindings, and/or with the water skis.
Single plane contoured water ski binding receiving corrective wedges adapted for securement between bindings and a slalom water ski, comprising:
Multiple plane contoured water ski binding receiving corrective wedges adapted for securement between the bindings and a slalom water ski, and for use by a water skier placing his or her right foot behind his or her left foot, comprising:
Multiple plane contoured water ski binding receiving corrective wedges adapted for securement between the bindings and a slalom water ski, and for use by a water skier placing his or her left foot behind his or her right foot, comprising:
A slalom water ski having an integral single plane contoured water ski binding receiving surface, at a forward foot location, sloping longitudinally downwardly from toe to heel, to receive a water skier's forward binding, which in turn will position the forward located foot and leg of a water skier in a nearer neutral position;
A slalom water ski having an integral multiple plane contoured water ski binding receiving surface at a forward left foot location on a slalom water ski, both sloping longitudinally downwardly from toe to heel, and sloping transversely downwardly from the medial side to the lateral side of the water skier's left foot, to receive a water skier's forward foot binding, which in turn will position the forward located left foot and leg of a water skier in a nearer neutral position;
A slalom water ski having a integral multiple plane contoured water ski binding receiving surface at a forward right foot location on slalom water ski, both sloping longitudinally downwardly from toe to heel, and sloping transversely downwardly from the medial side to the lateral side of the water skier's right foot, to receive a water skier's forward foot binding, which in turn will position the forward located right foot and leg of a water skier in a nearer neutral position;
Slalom water skier's bindings having integral corrective wedges adapted for securement on a slalom water ski at a forward foot location and a rear foot location for use by a water skier, comprising:
Slalom water skier's bindings having integral corrective wedges adapted for securement on a slalom water ski for use by a water skier placing his or her right foot behind his or her left foot, comprising:
Slalom water skier's bindings having integral corrective wedges adapted for securement on a slalom water ski for use by a water skier placing his or her left foot behind his or her right foot, comprising:
