How to Steer on Water Skis

To turn on water skis, simply lean in the direction you wish to turn to apply weight to the edge of the ski.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Safety Flags
• Life Vests
• Ski Boats
• Water Ski Ropes
• Water Skis
• Waterski Gloves
• Wet Suits

1. Get up on your skis and get comfortable.

2. Lean in the direction you wish to turn.

3. Lean to the left, for example, to apply pressure to the left edges of your skis; this movement will cause you to turn in that direction.

4. Turn harder by crouching lower and leaning more in the direction you wish to turn.

Tips & Warnings

• Crouch down lower on harder turns because you will increase speed very rapidly. Be prepared.
• It isn't necessary to turn your skis when turning. They will turn what little is needed on their own.
