Awesome, thanks for posting this video. I have just upgraded from a Spirit PRS to a Fenn Mako Elite and have been falling in a bit, exposing how poor I am at getting back into a ski with higher sides and more unstable. This will really help - must go and try it now!

@jgwhite99 please let us know how it went...

I tried the remount today in deep water with chop. It worked really well, keeping a low centre of gravity makes all the difference.

@johnzeroseven well done! i wish i had seen that video 10 years ago when i started paddling surfski :) i swam and swam trying to climb back to the seat

Thanks for posting, I've just bought a V10 sport, so this will be very useful.

@johnzeroseven: I am glad you liked it. It is one of the most useful skills you can gain. We are planing to upload more videos explaining other handy skills. The first one will follow next week.

I would like to see that in some rough water.

Thanks for this video Boyan and Oscar, I just got my first surf ski and am having trouble with remounting, looking forward to trying this technique...

Worked really well guys, usually I'm better at getting back on the ski from the left side, but using this technique worked pretty well from both sides. Thanks for the really useful tip!

Thanks for all the positive comments. We will be doing a whole series then taking a few more advance steps. Watch this space!!!

@boyanjz: I look forward to the next video.
