I love it how they use a ski pole to pull people out of the water. It's cheating! Get your ski tip out of the water and white knuckle the rope. That's how you get up on one ski.

use a water ski handle, keep in a ball and the tip up, let the boat pull you up and do not have the rope attached to a tower...use a ski boat
