"Hello my name is Arturo Nelson, we’re here at Aqa Sports in Miami to learn how to water ski and to learn about the right equipment for water skiing, you can find more information about myself or my ski school at www.aqasports.com. One of the things that’ll make it easier for you to water ski is to have the right boat, also of people try to ski behind big boats, big out board engines so I recommend skiing behind a ski boat. Ski boats shouldn’t be longer than 22 feet long, it’s always easier if they have an inside engine with 300 horsepower so the weight would be smaller and the power would be easier for you to get out of the water. This has a rope underneath the hole that would make it safer for you, the driver should be sitting there and it’s always better for you if you have someone watching you so in case you fall, there’s an emergency they can come and help you out. The rope is tied in the middle of the boat so you get a better pull and you have a platform so it’s easier for you to get into the water."
