  • Easy deep-water starts with the Big Daddy Easy deep-water starts with the Big Daddy
I feel like every family's boat needs a Connelly Big Daddy on board. This is the ski that can make all the difference when a new skier is struggling to learn deep water starts. You can see it in the photo, this ski is huge. Here I have it compared to a 69" HO Omni and a 65" Syndicate. The generous surface area helps the ski to plane out as soon as the boat accelerates. A large person will feel the benefit of the extra surface area, but it can help people of all sizes. The Big Daddy was the ski I first got up on when I was 12, and I weighed like 80 pounds. Construction seems fine, but not fancy. That is to be expected as this is an entry-level or recreational ski. The bindings are fine too. Compared to nicer bindings, they are not comfortable. But the priority here was to include an affordable, one-size-fits-all option, and these fit that bill. I think it is essential that this ski has a rear toe plate instead of a full binding for the rear foot, good to see. The ski has a standard drop-through metal fin with the option to mount a wing (not included) if you want. Also, I love the colorway. The rear toe strap is a little tight, and is not adjustable. Maybe it will break in a bit? Wouldn't be a bad idea to keep some boot butter handy to help a larger foot fit into the RTP. Either way, I recommend this ski. ... show more

  • Rear foot plate is way too small! Rear foot plate is way too small!
The rear foot plate is too narrow, making the ski unusable. Why would Connelly pair a ski designed for large skiers with a rear foot plate only a child would fit into, see picture. The front boot fits my size 13 foot just fine but there is no way my rear foot can get into the rear foot plate. I read another review that called this design flaw out but decided to try it anyway. Big mistake. Grrrrr The ski may work just fine. I will research rear foot plates to see if I can salvage this ski for my use. Connelly is an established brand, I can’t believe they made this design flaw. I’m very disappointed. I subsequently purchased the Connelly rear toe lace up plate and replaced the rear toe plate that came with the Bid Daddy ski. The screw holes lined up perfectly so it was very easy and took less than 5 minutes. ... show more

  • Easier Start
This Connelly Big Daddy ski makes it a lot easier to get up on the start. I like how wide it is as that makes it easier to use. The front boot is easy to put on and take off. The back toe plate makes using this feel so much easier, and I really appreciate the design. This is great for beginners, or really anyone who is just looking to have some fun on the water. It’s well made for a waterski at this price point, so I am happy with it. ... show more

  • Great ski! Universal sizing may not work depending on size of foot.
Love the ski. Easy to get up. I wear a 6.5 women's shoe size, and the boot is a little loose. I think if I wear a sock under, it will feel a bit more snug. That is why I would give 4 stars due to the "one size fits most."

  • Weekend fun
Finding a waterski that fits you when you're not a small person is hard. The extra width and length (it's a 69 "ski) makes the ski more stable when getting out of the water. I have always had problems with face planting on deep water starts, however the wider profile of the Big Daddy helps keep me straight. And the Swerve lace up binding system is handy too: I could dial in a fit without the pinching or pressure of other bindings. A simple rear toe plate keeps my foot secure without being restrictive. I used it a few weekends at the lake with my family and waterskiing has become fun again, those starts... ... show more

  • Rear foot plate WAAAAY too narrow
The rear foot plate is ridiculously narrow, making the ski unusable. I don't understand why you would pair a ski designed for large skiers with a rear foot plate designed for a young girls foot.

  • Wide ski and strong boot
I ordered this as a gift for my son who recently started water skiing and quickly mastered skiing with two skis. He really wants to improve slalom skiing - particularly getting up on one ski. It is too cold to ski in our frozen lake at the moment, but I look forward to spring to try this ski out! We already tried this on inside, and the boot is very comfortable on his size 7 foot. ... show more

  • Great skis!!
Very easy to use and fun. Easy to adjust and wear with regular winter boots. These were added to our winter outdoors activity as we only have used snowshoes. They were fun to use and with a little practice will be a fun way to get some exercise for a senior.
