When skimming across the water (sea or lake), it’s essential not to overreact to an uncomfortable situation. I tell people to relax more often than I tell them to remember to bend their knees! Why ski if you’re not going to enjoy the ride?

rule n°1: Just Breathe. Relaxing is breathing and breathing is relaxing, so remind your ownself every time you stand up and it’ll become habit. Big breaths of air in as well as out will help stabilize your own position and naturally set up you.

rule n°2: begin Right. If you have a smooth begin, you’re more likely to have a smooth run. A great position to get into before the boat powers up is with your own feet on the rope and your own handle pulled in about midthigh. Trying to lie as flat as possible, put your own ears under the water (sea or lake) to allow more stability. Now you’re perfectly positioned for takeoff.

rule n°3: Relax your own Grip. Once standing on two feet, relaxing your own grip on the handle means you’ll be able to ski three times more often. As funny as this may sound, it’ll help falls become a simple tuck and role – just don’t forget to let go! Place your own thumbs next to your own index fingers. This will allow your own hands to cup the handle instead of gripping it with all your own might. No need for those white knuckles. After all, you’re not hanging from a tree!

rule n°4: Don’t Look Down. It is crucial to keep your own eyes looking either straight forward or toward the tops of the trees around you. Barefooters have a saying, and it always holds true! “Look down, go down!” Nine out of 10 falls are caused by keeping your own eyes down. Unless you happen to be that one lucky footer, I’d suggest you heed this warning.

Does your handedness correlate to which foot you will put forward?

crack in ski

I just bought a ski on EBAY and it arrived with a crack on the back end of the ski. It doesn't seem to be too bad. I want to seal it up and before it chips and make it smooth. What should I use for this? Thanks.

Photo of the Week

WaterSkiArlyn — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 10:57:32 -0400

Yes, it's true we've always had a "photo of the week" section in our forum, but a new photo didn't always make it up every week, or every month. Well, that's about to change! Photo of the Week is back in full swing, and the term "week" will no longer be arbitrary! With that said, we want to see lots of new photos posted in our Photo Gallery. Every Monday, we'll select our favorite image and display it on the home page for everyone to see and "ooh and aww" over. Admit it, you want that type of recognition, don't you? Then what are you waiting for! We know you have an inumerable amount of skiing photos stashed away on your hard drive. Send them our way! If we like it enough, we may even send you a little gift...but we make no promises. Click here, upload your photos and tune in every Monday (and every day in between if you'd like) to see if your shot made the cut!

I have an HO water ski and can't get up

medina30 — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 20:24:59 -0400

Last summer I purchased an HO Comp Freeride Magmun waterski. Last summer I skied a few times, but had problems getting up. Now this summer, I have lost some weight and I am in a little bit better shape, and now I can't get up on the ski at all. Could you maybe give me some pointers about how I might try to get up on this ski. Maybe I need a different ski that is easier to get up on.

Thanks,

Mike
