For the first time there is nothing better to learn on then a ski made from wood. With wooden skis even the beginner can become confident in the first few minutes of putting on their new skis and entering the water.

The learner will find that their skis won't crisscross when attempting to get out of the water. Unfortunately due to the buoyancy of glass skis they can not produce the same steadying effect and often leaves the beginner frustrated and disappointed.
