you are lucky guy

Nice

Thank you for your time

WOW❤

What a fantastic video! I too wish I had this information when I started in the mid 80's. Growing up there was nothing cooler than seeing a really good skier throw up walls of water. Now it seems like most kids would rather be pulled on tubes or those inflatable couches which is unfortunate.

THE BEST PEOPLE AND CAMP EVER!!!

Awesome!!!

Is it normal to call the buoys -> boo-ays? In the UK we call them Boys (as in Girls and Boys)

When I was learning to ski , back in the 70's I was mostly behind a less powerful boat, so coming up on one ski a different technique was needed. Just one foot in the ski with the other leg trailing, then once up put the other foot in. On a more powerful boat, both feet in is fine. I remember doing a dock start behind a Mastercraft. Also I was told to hold the handle with one hand up and the other down. As opposed to both hands down when going on two skis. Good video though.

Awesome!

Why do you wear a helmet with the wake board. It not the skis?

Hi April, Beautifully explained ! (As a sailor, knowing nothing about water skiing, this makes me want to give it a try.) Looks like a great sport! Would love to come to the Colbe Ski School ... someday! Great Video !!

Excellent!

I love this detailed video!!!!! THANK YOU

Ive just come across your video and watched it to the end. Its very educational and the teaching is spot on ! i learnt to ski as a kid in Penang where we had a house on the beach so we were skiing most weekends.I progressed to slalom and loved it. You are right its a family sport and very addictive once you master water skiing. Keep up the good work !

Thanks… great video !! I just lost my new Mavic-3 Cine while filming water ski fun. All I had remaining was the 1080p video in my controller. Original footage drowned along with the Mavic-3 Cine. Filming water skiing has been an amazing amount of fun. Take care.

"My-favorite-food-is-pizza" helped get me up on my skis today, on the first try, first time skiing in probably 25 years. Thanks!

I’m right-foot dominate so since I was 13 (I’m 28 now) my dad, uncle, and grandfather trained me too slalom ski with my right foot in the back. From watching your video today, it seems like I should be a right-foot forward skier instead! So, I tried to ski switching my feet but I couldn’t even get up. Do you suggest I relearn how to get up and ski with my right foot forward or continue to try to get better with my left foot forward?

Can you ski with the rope tied to the low points of a boat? Or will doing that pull you down into the water since the rope will be at a downward angle from the skier to the boat?

The problem with waterskiing is that it's cost-prohibitive. I just saw an ad in the boat trader for a used MasterCraft ski boat. The price was $270,000.00. New ones go for over $300,000.00. A lot of folks can't afford houses that cost less than that. This is a sport for the wealth-privileged.

I’ve been skiing since I was a kid. Now we have a boat and I’m teaching my daughter to ski. Your techniques are so educational for even me who thinks he’s done it all. Thanks for your excellent course!!

Excellent video

Thank you so much. There’s so much good information here it’s a must watch for anybody starting to ski of someone like me that has done a small amount of skiing Good job. 👍

The singer sounds twisted and butch

At 21:39 she seems to have the wrong palm facing down.

Compliments

To old now to ski like that miss it hate getting old

Once you get to 15 off x 32 mph, do you recommend going up in speed and staying at 15 off or go to 22 off and stay at 32 mph? I've tried both, sometimes I can do either, but NOT consistent. Thanks again, April is amazing!

Great Video Thank You. We are having trouble slalom deep water starting behind a 2005 Seadoo 180 hp 3 seat GTX Supercharged jetski. 180 lbs, decent skier. Full throttle rips handle out of my hands. Would you please recommend an acceleration curve for starting ? Thank You.

I feel like the, "throw them in the water and they'll learn how to swim," technique works more in water skiing. Precautions in water skiing like weights, throw off their weight and they won't learn as quickly to control their own weight rather with external weight. I know why people would use a tie for the skis being together, don't use them. Get hurt, learn to keep the skis together. You can't slalom with tied skis.

Your video is awesome🤭 I’ve always wanted to try and your video made me want to jump into the water right now!🤩💙💦

Amazing video. So many things I’ve been doing incorrectly with mixed results. Can’t wait to try out some new instructions with my kids.

Excellent video - appreciate you putting this together!

What an excellent video! Very eloquently explained and super interesting. I used to water ski many when I was a kid. I'd love to get back to it. Thanks!

Why can't they just record the natural sound? Cut the sound off and enjoy the show, it works a lot better that way.

Thanks for publishing this! I have been praying about making a “how to” as a prep instructional for our “guests to the sport”. You’ve saved me the work! I even learned a few things to add to my (novice) coach bag.

Haha, I got a mention 😂🤦🙂

Thanks Trav. This was awesome.

Look into a 360 camera too, such as Insta360 One X2. You won't have to be so exact with the lense being directly on the subject. You can also edit out the pole so it looks cleaner.

Thank you for this!👍

I don’t know why I’m watching this I already know all this stuff butt it’s hella interesting

Wow. I wish I had this video 20 years ago! Very helpful even now to see what we can improve. Thanks April!!!

By far the best water slalom video on youtube. Multi-camera shooting is amazing.

Do you think a hero 2 would fit?

When I learned to ski I yolod it now I'm pretty good but I'm teaching my friend and I'm trying to speed up the process

Yes, this is very helpful video tutorial how to learn wakeboard and water ski for beginner

yes im so pumped

Awesome Videos, Awesome Lake. Keep it up. What drone are you using?

Super cool shot angles, great quality vid & powerful/smooth looking skiing... but in my opinion, the videos & different angles were too chopped up. Please take as constructive criticism, as I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE from you & this ultra-cool location! I would just recommend sticking with certain angles a bit longer (as one person comment, so they could learn something, we can follow body positioning & angles better). At least one full pass would be nice, but I like how you tried to coordinate different angles for the same buoy or wake crossing; it just got to be too much...kinda "strobe light" affect. I think you've got potential to truly have some of the best videos on the web. seriously. Good work overall, hope to see more from you. [oh, and this I know is completely a personal-preference thing, but oh my gosh, that music {blech} hated it {sorry}. If you were to blend the smooth but wicked skiing form with something like Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Tight Rope" (punny, too!). I actually watched it again w/the sound off & that song playing in the background - with NO editing, just playing it, some of the tempo changes coordinated w/your slo-mo moments & the guitar slides synced up with some of the slicey buoy turns & wake crossings...really fit sweetly. check it out for yourself sometime, it's pretty slick...Or really any version of rock, from 50's & 60's up to today's metal. Rockabilly, blues, jazz, 80's hairbands or 90's grunge... most of that stuff you can sync it with the skiing SO easily & whether you want to dial in a "heavy" strong feeling, or smooth flowy, you can find a riff that feels just right.] But, as I said, totally a personal preference on the music (you gotta do you), whereas the video stuff is more technical advice. And all meant in the idea of improving your already great production quality. Good luck & please keep it up!!! Thank you!
