Abstract
A lock for a water ski binding includes upper and lower parts which are mounted on a stud which extends upwardly from the ski through a slot in the heel cup of the binding. The two lock parts have interengaging camming surfaces, and when the top part is rotated about the stud from an unlocked position to a locking position, the bottom part is forced downwardly to clamp the heel cup against the ski.
