FOOTSKI'S ARE ABSOLUTELYTHE MOST FUN I HAVE HAD ON THE WATER IN A VERY LONG TIME AND SUPER EASY TO RIDE. THEY ARE LIKE BARE FOOT SKIING AND WALKING ON WATER AT THE SAME TIME. VERY LOW IMPACT. WITH FOOTSKI'S ON YOU CAN RIDE AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS LIKE KNEE BOARDING AND WAKEBOARDING OR GO AS FAST AS BAREFOOT WATER SKIERS. THEY ARE SUPER STABLE, LIGHT WEIGHT AND FUN TO RIDE. FOOTSKI'S UNIQUE PATENTED DESIGIN MAKES IT EASY FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES TO RIDE AND MAKES THEM POP RIGHT UP.
