Waterski Dock Start
10 XP when a coach verifies it
What it is
Successfully perform a waterski dock start. The rider must begin from the slide start on waterskis, maintain balance during the pull, and ride away in control onto the water.
How to do it
- Skis parallel, tips just in line with the handles on the dock. Knees slightly bent. Weight centred over both feet. Arms slightly bent and strong, ready for the pull. Look forward in the direction you want to go and stay as low as possible as you leave the dock. Keep your arms straight when you hit the water to prevent falling backwards.
