Should I bother with a 300SX for my kids?

I've seen a few 300's that look to be in decent shape, but the ones I see now are definately projects.

Haha, that is the good thing about watersports at low speeds, the water is pretty forgiving, that's why I wake surf, and not wakeboard......

If your kids have spent time on dirt bikes, quads or snowmobiles and have a basic understanding of throttle control you don’t have anything to worry about with a 650-700 twin. My kids all learned on a sx 650 with ease. IMO, don’t waste your money on a 300. My kids (12,10 and 7 yards old now) all started at 6 years old on a 650 and they did just fine. Within a couple days they are using all the 650 had to offer and graduated to bigger skis in no time. Give the kids an opportunity to ride and they will surprise you. Their center of gravity and sense of balance when young is almost like cheating. At 12 years old, Gabe’s first season on a Freestyle ski he was laying down combos that make all but the top level competitors look silly.
Get them started young!!
That was your kid at Havasu? He was going off!
 
Yeah, Gabe (12) competed and won the Jr championship on his carbon reveal Rickter Ninja X and really caught on quickly to Freestyle. He rides almost every day with me and didn’t take him long to leave my skills in the dust. He got to spend a few days with Krefski last summer at WS Dells and Evan was great teaching him stuff I couldn’t. My other boy Nolan (10) rode at body beach and site 6 on the carbon reveal Tiger Craft J1 that Tony brought with for the week. Big thanks to Tony for making Nolan’s trip great. Both boys will compete in the Jr class next year and we are getting excited to get some new builds going here
