Hi,
I love water skiing and always want to find new ways of amusing myself on a slalom ski. This year I want to master a slalom shore start. I just tried it twice and it is harder than it looks. I first tried it in about above ankle deep water and as soon as I said "hit it" I put my lead leg down and the ski sunk to the bottom immediately and I was out the front in a jiffy. Next i tried it in waist level water and I believe I just squatted down and basically did a deep water start. Did it the first time but that is not what I want. I want to do a shore start like this one. Now, My boat is different that the one in the video. It is a bayliner Br175 with 135HP Mercruiser and standard 21P prop.
Do I need more boat to do this? 165Lbs 67" HO Comp Free Ride. I can get up anytime and everytime on it deep water.
Does anyone have a technique that will help me? I would be very interested if you do.
