Beginning Water Skiing : How to Water Ski Away

[idstaxe]

Why does every video of waterskiing/snowboarding/skiin­g or as good as every other sports video have a ton of comments like "I'm 12 and I can..." NOBODY CARES HOW OLD YOU ARE AND HOW GOOD YOU THINK YOU ARE! Please if you are that good, make a video and show people how good you are instead of writing an comment about it at every video you see! Everyone has different amounts of experience and it's easier for some people than for others! This guy is only trying to help beginners, not show of skills!

Wow that boat is running slow :O

When we are waterskiing we usually go 30-35 knots! He almost ain ON the water, he is half way in -.-

[waterskigal1]

Looks like the expert boat driver needs a lesson on the right speed for water skiing,looked a little slow to me.

[JustDieAgain]

Hm, my first time I started with 45 km/h. Now, last weekend, I went like 30km/h, because there were a lot boats at one place, I fell cuz it was too slow.. So I think that it's always better to go a bit faster, isn't it?

Well. I've been watching a few videos now, but I can't really find techniques about how to stand up. When I stay at the ski's, I can stay for a long time, but if I watch the video about how i'm skiing it looks so horrible XD

Can someone tell me how to stand "beautiful" ? XD

[maxgraham6]

@JustDieAgain sorry for my bad english.

So! First! when the boat accelerate,you must crouch,then wait 3-4 second,when you came out the water,then PUSH UP your body(push your legs forward),like when you standing.I do the water skiing like this,and i can stand "beatiful" :D Now i'm learning how to ski with one board(or i don't know what it's name),if you know anything about this,tell me please :)

[phil656565]

i hate how you can rip turns on water skis like you can on snow skis, unless your on one, but thats not the same

[cmundley]

lmao, an expert? looks like he's having trouble staying up on 2

[Notwithoutmypants]

@cmundley Actually he's going in and out of the wake which is extremely difficult. Plus he isn't competing, so he's probably just being chill, and he's got to be a little old. Water skiing is a very hard sport.

[MultiCaboose]

@Notwithoutmypants thats not hard at all...

[MrMrIhatespaces]

@Notwithoutmypants no it isint,im ten years old and after only 4 tries i got out side the wake and 1 handed,its not hard at all.(p.s. i dident have lessons)

[ipod242]

good job mate a really good way of showing people how to water ski. but no voice directions

[Coltonwarwickpleass1]

how slow can you go lol?

[itsrami]

waste of time..

retards

[120608drew]

20 -40

[trickguy99]

26 for adult beginners i little slower for kids

[ShadowNinjaFromCss]

lol theres more wake from the skiis

[tomedogg]

boats going way to slow

[Gam3Junkie]

Whats the recommended speed necessary for water skiing?

Or, how many kmh should you have to not sink?

[evensmaller]

15-20 knots, depends on how heavy you are and what kind of water ski's you are using

[xxxbuffsxxx]

god the boat is going like two miles an hour

[halo096]

because getting up on 1 ski is hard as bitch to get up

[xxxbuffsxxx]

its not that hard

[kainaussie]

if he is so pro y doesnt he use 1 skii

[Asma74]

thanks for the video. my kids wanted to see what water skiing looked like and this was very helpful. i think going slow is good for showing beginners. Otherwise you just look like a big blur to them lol.

[AxeLash29]

1. Your boat sucks.

2. You suck at that.

3. That's barely water skiing because you're going so damn slow that your just plowing the water!

Prove that you have real skills by actually doing something cool. That was not even close.

[Jaclyne03]

you do realize that this was to show how to basic water ski. Your comment is a little unnecessary.

[xxxbuffsxxx]

dood your right on that one

[5991niltap]

u r werid.

it is BASIC!!

IT SHOWS YOU HOW TO WATER SKI

not some expert junk

[metman18]

I tried it for the first time yesterday, and I'm 26. I managed to get up several times, but it didn't last long. I think I didn't have my arms straight the whole time, and I kept falling backwards.

[bmxracer19375]

u dont need to keep your arms straight the whole but i think your falling bcause your pulling on the rope because if you pull on the rope your feet will fall out in front of you and you fall backwards. also keep your knees bent all the time.

[bmxracer19375]

not impressed.

i started last summer and i'm already slalom skiing. that boat was mad slow, he wasn't even gettin out of the skis wake, and he definitely didnt look very much like an expert. lol

[hjtamvla7]

uhhh check the title again. you can be a pro and still do basics.

[buytoy6]

i just tried water-skiing today, can't do it, my legs would always come apart as the boat would start to move

[VenomousKiss519]

thats perfect water.

when i learned how to water ski, the waves were too out of hand.

it was too insane.

but hey, atleast i learned how to get myself out of the water haha.

[LindoPogo71]

took u long enough to get up

[waterskigirl14]

wow and this guy calls himself an expert. i am only 14 and i am way better than him. but i guess thats cause i have been watersking since i was 4. but seriously the boat needs to go faster. his skies were under water to much. and when he was in the water his skies where way to far apart. oh and this did not teach the signals. so here they are. thumbs up means faster. thumbs down means slow down. and when he moved his hand in a circle with his pointer finger up that means go around again. byes.

[littl3jimmy]

@waterskigirl14 Chill out. A) I don't care how old you are, it makes you look like a douche. B) The video doesn't say it's going to teach you hand signals. C) An expert started with basics. You can't throw someone in the water with one ski for their first try and say go.

This. Video. Is. For. Beginners. If you are way better than him, why are you watching a "How to Water Ski" video?

[LucMeilleur1993]

piece of shit of a boat

[lickal0tapuss]

Yep the boat was going too slow and you can tell cause the backs of the skis were almost submerged. They should run relatively flat, they guy was almost sinking. When he sped up over the wake he looked better. Practice makes perfect though! Waterskiing is a little hard but once you get it you never forget! It's a great hobby or sport for some, along with wakeboarding

[JordanVanMeter]

god there going slow and that boat sounds like crap,but ya its hard as hell to water skii

[rollinthedice]

thats funny, looks like fun

[feliks000]

hehe cool
