Guide Review - Gladiator Slalom Trainer Towrope Handle
To use this handle in learning deepwater slalom starts the skier positions the slalom ski in the "V" of the rope. When the boat pulls the skier out of the water this Gladiator Slalom Trainer holds the ski steady, preventing it from wobbling from side to side. As the skier stands up the ski gradually comes out of the "V" as it planes on the water.
