Removable stirup for water skis

摘要

A removable stirrup for water skis adapted to be placed upon the top surface of the ski and to be removed therefrom with a minimum of effort. The removable stirrup comprises a rectangularly shaped flat surface base having a non-slip textured upper surface with a pair of padded straps rising up from upper surface, the straps adapted to receive the front portion of a skier's foot. Attached on opposite sides of the elongated rectangular base are downward extending cupped lips adapted to extend below the sides of the ski and inwardly on the bottom of the ski. A pair of compression screws reside in threads formed transversely through the flat base. The removable stirrup is slipped on to the ski from the front up-turned section by sliding the side edges of the ski between the oppositely located cupped lips to a position immediately forward the standard fixed boot attached to the ski. The removable stirrup is held to the ski by clamping the ski between the lower portion of the curved lip and the compression screw situated in the base. In an alternate embodiment, straps attached to the base are modified to a toe portion or a toe and heel portion to constitute a removable boot.
