I cannot stress enough how important it is to just tense while letting the ski do the work.. I had an injury and just got back on the ski after a month. First 2 days back on the water I was so excited for speed that I was pushing (extending) my legs down and had some of the gnarliest wipe outs ever, and as Joel says if you're stable and just tensing up instead of fighting the wake, you go way faster and avoid some good spills.
What great Advice, love your videos mate, thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Awesome coaching Joel! Love these videos
I’m going to have to experiment with this one. Not sure I completely get how that really fixes things. Thanks for the tip!
Not bouncing keeps you stable and increases speed.
That definitely makes sense. How just tensing up the body makes it so you don’t bounce seems odd. Gonna have to give it a try!
It stops you extending your legs into the trough which allows you to skip over it.
Joel Howley that makes sense!

Any tricks for getting hips up with knees bent? I am having a tough time especially on my off side turn.
Hey Joel, I just started skiing and would love some tips. Can I send footage and where do I send?
