    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.

    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.

You are right its a family sport and very addictive once you master water skiing. Keep up the good work !

    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?

  • @georgeburns8447
    @georgeburns8447 Před 2 lety

    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?

    • @skitrav
      @skitrav Před 2 lety

      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.

    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.

    • @dougtripp4161
      @dougtripp4161 Před 2 lety

      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 $$

    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!

    • @skitrav
      @skitrav Před 3 lety

      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!

  • @sirreality5145
    @sirreality5145 Před 3 lety

    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.
