Flatten the curve?!?! That didn't age well...nice vid tho
самое крутое и понятное обьяснение на youtube
What an excellent beginner video. Well done. I’ll be using these tips to teach my young boys this summer.
I screen recorded theis video so I can learn because my grandfather is teaching me how to ski
you are lucky guy
Nice
Thank you for your time
WOW❤
What a fantastic video! I too wish I had this information when I started in the mid 80's. Growing up there was nothing cooler than seeing a really good skier throw up walls of water. Now it seems like most kids would rather be pulled on tubes or those inflatable couches which is unfortunate.
THE BEST PEOPLE AND CAMP EVER!!!
Awesome!!!
Is it normal to call the buoys -> boo-ays? In the UK we call them Boys (as in Girls and Boys)
Both are considered normal depending on where you live in the world.
When I was learning to ski , back in the 70's I was mostly behind a less powerful boat, so coming up on one ski a different technique was needed. Just one foot in the ski with the other leg trailing, then once up put the other foot in. On a more powerful boat, both feet in is fine. I remember doing a dock start behind a Mastercraft. Also I was told to hold the handle with one hand up and the other down. As opposed to both hands down when going on two skis. Good video though.
Awesome!
Why do you wear a helmet with the wake board. It not the skis?
Hi April, Beautifully explained ! (As a sailor, knowing nothing about water skiing, this makes me want to give it a try.) Looks like a great sport! Would love to come to the Colbe Ski School ... someday! Great Video !!
Excellent!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this detailed video!!!!! THANK YOU
Ive just come across your video and watched it to the end. Its very educational and the teaching is spot on ! i learnt to ski as a kid in Penang where we had a house on the beach so we were skiing most weekends.I progressed to slalom and loved it. You are right its a family sport and very addictive once you master water skiing. Keep up the good work !
Thanks… great video !! I just lost my new Mavic-3 Cine while filming water ski fun. All I had remaining was the 1080p video in my controller. Original footage drowned along with the Mavic-3 Cine. Filming water skiing has been an amazing amount of fun. Take care.
"My-favorite-food-is-pizza" helped get me up on my skis today, on the first try, first time skiing in probably 25 years. Thanks!
Awesome. Glad we could help!
I’m right-foot dominate so since I was 13 (I’m 28 now) my dad, uncle, and grandfather trained me too slalom ski with my right foot in the back. From watching your video today, it seems like I should be a right-foot forward skier instead! So, I tried to ski switching my feet but I couldn’t even get up. Do you suggest I relearn how to get up and ski with my right foot forward or continue to try to get better with my left foot forward?
Can you ski with the rope tied to the low points of a boat? Or will doing that pull you down into the water since the rope will be at a downward angle from the skier to the boat?
Yes you can however if your rope is very short, this will make it harder. Having a rope that pulls you up,ie a normal pylon height or on a tower is a better way to do it and makes it easier to learn.
@@skitrav Thank you.
The problem with waterskiing is that it's cost-prohibitive. I just saw an ad in the boat trader for a used MasterCraft ski boat. The price was $270,000.00. New ones go for over $300,000.00. A lot of folks can't afford houses that cost less than that. This is a sport for the wealth-privileged.
granted new boats are expensive. But you don't need a new boat to ski.. Market place has hundreds of boats under $10k you can ski behind. Depending where you live, you don't need a boat. There are cable parks and clubs you can ski at for little $$
I’ve been skiing since I was a kid. Now we have a boat and I’m teaching my daughter to ski. Your techniques are so educational for even me who thinks he’s done it all. Thanks for your excellent course!!
So glad we could help!
Excellent video
Glad it could help!
Thank you so much. There’s so much good information here it’s a must watch for anybody starting to ski of someone like me that has done a small amount of skiing Good job. 👍
Glad to hear it helped😬

Greetings from Italy czcams.com/video/qI5Z_vRH_1k/video.html

To old now to ski like that miss it hate getting old
Once you get to 15 off x 32 mph, do you recommend going up in speed and staying at 15 off or go to 22 off and stay at 32 mph? I've tried both, sometimes I can do either, but NOT consistent. Thanks again, April is amazing!
Thanks for the question. 15 off at 32mph then 15 off at 34mph. Try to run the passes again and again at the slower speeds and then move up in smaller increments. Ie. Try 33mph so that the jump from 32mph to 34mph is not as big too. Also visit the camp at cobleskischool for further lessons! Its easier when you ski alot too!
Great Video Thank You. We are having trouble slalom deep water starting behind a 2005 Seadoo 180 hp 3 seat GTX Supercharged jetski. 180 lbs, decent skier. Full throttle rips handle out of my hands. Would you please recommend an acceleration curve for starting ? Thank You.
Hey B Smith. Not sure If I am following but slow and steady is better! Otherwise visit Coble ski school for some water ski lesson that will help!
I feel like the, "throw them in the water and they'll learn how to swim," technique works more in water skiing. Precautions in water skiing like weights, throw off their weight and they won't learn as quickly to control their own weight rather with external weight. I know why people would use a tie for the skis being together, don't use them. Get hurt, learn to keep the skis together. You can't slalom with tied skis.
Your video is awesome🤭 I’ve always wanted to try and your video made me want to jump into the water right now!🤩💙💦
Awesome. Glad that you enjoyed it!
Amazing video. So many things I’ve been doing incorrectly with mixed results. Can’t wait to try out some new instructions with my kids.
Thanks for watching and glad it was helpful. Please feel free to share!
Excellent video - appreciate you putting this together!
Glad you enjoyed! Please feel free to share!
What an excellent video! Very eloquently explained and super interesting. I used to water ski many when I was a kid. I'd love to get back to it. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it
Why can't they just record the natural sound? Cut the sound off and enjoy the show, it works a lot better that way.
Noted for the future!
Thanks for publishing this! I have been praying about making a “how to” as a prep instructional for our “guests to the sport”. You’ve saved me the work! I even learned a few things to add to my (novice) coach bag.
Thanks for watching. Glad we could help! Don't forget to share it and subscribe!
Haha, I got a mention 😂🤦🙂
If only we had a video of me after the Drone crashed. Haha 😂
Thanks Trav. This was awesome.
Look into a 360 camera too, such as Insta360 One X2. You won't have to be so exact with the lense being directly on the subject. You can also edit out the pole so it looks cleaner.
Definitely agree but I think for most people at this time, they still using gopro's and or DJI osmo. They haven't all migrated to 360 cameras just yet but they are certainly the future. Maybe a 360 tutorial coming in the future?!
Thank you for this!👍
Thanks for watching!
I don’t know why I’m watching this I already know all this stuff butt it’s hella interesting
Wow. I wish I had this video 20 years ago! Very helpful even now to see what we can improve. Thanks April!!!
Glad to hear. Hope you enjoyed it 👍
By far the best water slalom video on youtube. Multi-camera shooting is amazing.
Thank you 😊
Do you think a hero 2 would fit?
When I learned to ski I yolod it now I'm pretty good but I'm teaching my friend and I'm trying to speed up the process
