Airhead Sports Group Platform Trainers & Trainer Skis

Teaching the Next Generation to Ski with Airhead Trainer Skis

Airhead Sports Group has been a trusted name in recreational watersports since 1991, and nowhere is that family-first philosophy more evident than in their lineup of Platform Trainers & Trainer Skis. Designed from the ground up to make learning to water ski less intimidating — and a lot more fun — Airhead's trainer ski products have become a go-to choice for parents who want to introduce young riders to life on the water with confidence.

Purpose-Built for First-Time Skiers

Airhead water ski trainers have been teaching youth fundamentals for over a decade, available in various styles to find the right tool for teaching kids to water ski. The EZ-Ski trainers have been a great success since their introduction to the market and are regarded as the ultimate confidence builder, taking the tears, fear, and frustration out of teaching young skiers.

What sets Airhead's approach apart is clever, thoughtful engineering. Airhead trainer water skis feature a special stabilizer bar that keeps the 47" skis steady while students are learning to ski, and the unique tow rope system puts the spotter in the back of the boat in control of the ride. Children hold on to the included handle connected by the tow rope to an additional handle the spotter holds on the opposite end — giving adults precise control over pace and safety from the moment the boat leaves the dock.

Standout Products: From Watermelon Trainers to the Big EZ Ski

Airhead's trainer ski catalog spans several innovative designs. The Watermelon Trainer Skis are a fan favorite for younger learners: they include a crossbar support that keeps the skis stable during training, letting beginners learn coordination without worrying about foot positioning. The crossbar is removable so skiers can keep using them as they progress, and nylon fins provide better stability and tracking when turning. A double-handle rope assembly supports quick starts and stops, and adjustable bindings fit child size 12 to adult size 5.

For those looking for the ultimate beginner experience, the Big EZ Ski takes innovation even further. The Big EZ Ski is an inflatable/ski hybrid that takes the tears out of teaching new riders and makes the entire experience safe and exciting for everyone — riders board the Big EZ inflatable water ski trainer directly from the back of the boat, no swimming necessary. After spending a little time with the Big EZ inflatable water ski trainer, kids and teens learn basic skiing fundamentals including proper stance, handle position, balance, and weight transfer for turning.

Why Airhead Stands Out in the Trainer Category

Airhead's collection includes beginner-friendly trainers, wide-body combo skis, and versatile recreational skis designed for stability, control, and progression — with durable construction, adjustable bindings, and performance-driven designs that make it easy for the whole family to enjoy time on the water. Whether you're shopping for a first-time skier or looking for a platform trainer that grows with a young athlete, Airhead's purpose-built lineup removes the barriers to entry that traditionally make learning to ski frustrating.
