Your cart is empty.The O'Brien vortex combo water skis are a wide-body ski designed with deep water starts and big, carving turns in mind. The extra surface area reduces drag and allows for skiing with much lower boat speed with less effort.

The boot on the ski's is a little difficult numbers on the adjustable boot slide would have been better, with multiple skiers would be easier to set for foot size. The ski's perform great for beginners and intermediate skiers, easy to get up and perform great wether on one or both ski's, great quality and works well

I read many reviews about this brand of ski before I bought any.1st review I read was about them being to small for adults, thats a right out lie , she should be banned . I put a coffee container on the ski to judge the width . It's the widest ski I ever used and the length is perfect.2nd Boot size. One wrote it's too small and one wrote it's way to big . Umm they didn't know how to push up to tighten foot. I am a size 11 and at it's largest I still had room to push it up one click so size 12 will fit. The boot looked wide but it held my foot center and I could still pull it out dry without fear of breaking my foot off. The slider moves 2 inches to close in to a smaller foot . This ski is not to heavy as I am use to wood skis. 3rd . It came in packaged rather secure in box with foam bumpers along end edges , unless you had a idiot mail carrier you should receive it in great shape.4th I ordered it on sunday night and got it on wednesday , came from NC to Buffalo NY .

Great for beginners. I've skied before and had no problems getting going. My freind has never skied before and got up and going within 6 attempts and getting better every day. Only problem is the large size of the bindings. I'm a size 10.5 shoe and have them as tight as they go and feel like one more click would be perfect. Also I defenetly get a hot spot on the outside of my pinky toe joint, but I also wear a wide shoe.

Nice looking and ski very well. If you shoe size is smaller than an 8m, may need neoprene booties for a snug fit.

Unfortunately we could not use the skis one of them came in cracked in two different places. One at the end of the ski and the other mid ski under the boot. We had to return them.

Bought these and the Jr. Vortex. Both skis come with O'Briens X-7 bindings. Everyone struggles trying to tighten the bindings. The push mechanism just doesn't work properly on either pair of skis. Everyone struggles trying to tighten them and you never feel like you have a good fit.

Bought these for my wife and she loves them. Easy to get up and ski on even after not water skiing in almost 20 years.
