O'Brien 46" Platform Trainer Waterski

O’Brien Platform Trainer Kids Waterski - Red/Blue - 2026

The 2026 O’Brien Platform Trainer Waterski helps young skiers learn starts and basic riding on a single-piece platform. Its U-shaped design provides generous surface area to help riders get up and cruise, while slip-in padded bindings offer a comfortable place for their feet. Built with bamboo and packaged with a trainer rope and handle, this 46-inch trainer is designed for skiers weighing up to 85 pounds.

Best For

• Young first-time skiers: A platform-style design for learning to get up and ride.
• Skiers up to 85 pounds: Sized for children within O’Brien's published weight limit.
• Learning starts: Generous surface area helps the trainer rise out of the water.
• Trainer-package buyers: Includes a trainer rope and handle.

Platform Design & Learning Support

The U-shaped platform connects both foot positions in a single-piece design, giving young riders one platform to manage rather than two separate skis. Its generous surface area helps skiers get up and begin riding, making easier starts a central reason to choose this trainer.

The classic platform layout provides an introduction to waterskiing before moving to separate skis. Slip-in padded bindings provide cushioning around the feet and a straightforward entry design for young riders.

Bamboo Construction

The Platform Trainer uses bamboo construction, which O’Brien identifies as an eco-friendly material choice. Its single-piece U-shaped design brings the learning platform and foot positions together in one unit.
