Featherglide Waterskis

[U-Haul]

I was wondering if anyone still used the old wooden featherglide waterskis :cool: I have a couple but it is finally time to replace the bindings and I don't know where to get binding parts if they are still available :cool: Does anyone know where I should go or who I should talk to? Any help would be appriciated :cool:

Endo's right there in Long Beach would be the place to start. Very well stocked water ski shop.

Glad to see there's someone out there that still wants to water ski :D ,especially on a classic wood ski :D . When I saw the word Featherglide in your post, I couldn't believe it, I thought I was the only one left that still used one! I have a few of them, but, sad to say after alot of use they finally started to flatten out in the front or break, so, I did the next best thing, we reproduced one! I had the same issue with bindings over the years and it got to a point where I just couldn't find anyone wanting to make the bindings to fit the old aluminum brackets. Here's a couple shots of my "NEW" Featherglide with some real nice HO bindings that I found, doesn't have the classic look,but, they're real comfortable :D :D

I still do. I have 2 Andy Clarks, a Murdock and a Maha.
I cant understand why people would ski with anything else.

I also have a couple a Andy Clarks. Squirtcha? and I are having a couple of new ones made this winter. Maybe Dennis( he is the one building them)would be interested in making some boots?

Thank you for your replys. I always take sh*t from my friends for skiing on the "log" as they call it. Being that I am only 30 they think the ski should not be older than I am. Anyways thats what I learned on and that is what I think feels the best. My aunt got one for christmas in about 1965 and she was getting rid of it after sitting in her rafters for years. The bindings are a bit shot but the ski is perfect and I am cleaning it up a bit for next year. thank you for your help.
