HO Sports Combo Bar

The Combo Bar is designed to fit HO, O'Brien, and Connelly combo skis that feature pre-drilled inserts located forward of the bindings. Before purchasing, verify that your skis have these specific mounting points, as it will not work on skis without them.

It physically connects the tips of your skis, which prevents them from crossing or drifting apart during the initial pull. By keeping the skis aligned, you can focus on your posture and balance rather than fighting to keep your equipment together.

It is suitable for any beginner, regardless of age. While it is a common training aid for children, adults who are new to water skiing often find it equally helpful for mastering the deep water start.

No, it is intended to be a training aid. Once you have developed the balance and control to perform deep water starts consistently without the skis crossing, you can remove the bar and progress to skiing with independent skis.

The bar is primarily for the start. While it provides stability, it does restrict the independent movement of the skis. Most skiers find it best to remove the bar once they are comfortable getting up, as it allows for more natural carving and maneuverability.
