What to Do When Your Skis Are Behind You

Video Transcript

" Hello my name is Arturo Nelson, we’re here in Miami at Aqa Sports if you want more information about how to water ski I recommend you go into my web page www.aqasports.com. We’ve been talking about how to get in the water, the position for water skiing but we haven’t talked about can happen to you. If you get in the water and you get into this position that is very uncomfortable but the skis are floating behind you and you feel you can turn, relax. One of the main things about water skiing is that you need to relax, if you look into the boat it’s always easier if you have the handle in your hand and roll, roll to one of the sides so you get ski tips in front of you and then with your free hand, swim so you can face the boat. I’m going to make this movement again so you can realize because you will get into this position sooner or later, the skis will be floating behind you, don’t try to reach them alright and just relax, always easier with the rope on the handle so you can roll, get the ski tips out of the water and with your free hand rotate to the boat and look straight to it. The main thing about water skiing is you need to relax, if you start swinging and getting this way you’re just going to get tired."
