Claim:
A visual device attachable to a water ski for locating the water ski in the water, the device comprising: a bracket adapted for attachment to a water ski; a rotator rotatably coupled to the bracket for 360 degree rotation relative to the bracket, the rotator having a periphery with a top hole and a bottom hole, the bottom hole being located approximately 180 degrees from the top hole on the periphery; a top spring having an end affixed in the top hole and an opposite end affixed to a flag, wherein the top spring is adapted to flex; and a bottom spring having an end affixed in the bottom hole and an opposite end affixed to a counterweight, wherein the bottom spring is adapted to flex; wherein the counterweight has a weight greater than that of the top spring and the flag so that the weight of the counterweight causes the flag to rotate to a position substantially upright when the water ski is substantially not moving to allow visual detection of the flag and for locating the water ski in the water.
