A water ski binding includes: a flexible rear boot member for the rear part of the foot of the skier; a rear mounting structure for the boot member having wall surface structure which rises generally upwardly with respect to the top surface of the ski; and another rear mounting structure for the boot member, also having wall surface structure which rises generally upwardly with respect to the top surface of the ski, which slides relative to the first mounting structure in order to press the boot member between such wall surface structures and mount the boot member on the ski. The second mounting structure is formed to support the heel of the skier and the flexible boot member is formed to be held in position substantially solely through abutting wall surfaces of the mounting structures and boot member. The water ski binding also includes: a front boot member mounting structure defining an elongated opening which extends, along it direction of elongation, generally along the length of the ski; and a front boot member for the front part of the foot of the skier, having elongated wall structure which is adapted to be slidably inserted, along its direction of elongation, in such opening, to mount the boot member on the ski. This mounting structure is formed to support the forefoot of the skier and the boot member is formed to be held in position, when mounted, substantially solely through abutting wall structures of the mounting structure and boot member. The water ski binding also includes a base structure and a locking and unlocking mechanism to selectively lock the front mounting structure, and the front boot member therein, in alternative positions generally along the length of the ski.
