This invention relates to a detachable grip apparatus for water-skiing. It provides a water-ski harness with arm slings, palm hooks and loops arranged to give the water skier a mechanical handhold assist on a water-ski tow rope crossbar handle. The apparatus reduces fatigue in the skier's hands and forearms, and prevents loss of the water-skier's grip of the handle during high acceleration pull-out from a beach, dock, or an initial submerged position for the water-skier. The apparatus also reduces hand callousing problems that are commonly experienced by those who actively pursue the sport. The apparatus passes acceleration forces to the waist via a harness to which the slings are attached at the rear. At the other end of each sling is attached a palm hook. A loop affixed to the back of each palm hook is placed around a corresponding middle finger to secure the palm hook in position. Upon the water-skier falling, both palm hooks unhook from the tow rope crossbar handle.
