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

[cmundley]

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

[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!

@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)

[MultiCaboose]

@Notwithoutmypants thats not hard at all...

[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.

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 -.-

@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?

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

@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 :)

[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
