mikey Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Took my first ever lesson yesterday at this school in Greenville TX just outside of Dallas. I'm 41 and maybe skied a total of 20 times since I was about 15. Allen the owner was a super nice guy that had plenty of patience with me. We started off with free sking to determine how I stood on the ski and how my wake crossings looked. I was amazed at his ability to drive the boat and watch my form while looking in the rear view mirror the whole time. I think the most important advice I got from the lesson was body position. We did the drill of holding the rope on the dock and trying to cement my stance while leaning away from the handle. I was able to make a few wake crossings on my onside that felt really good while maintaining a solid stacked position... After lunch we moved on to the course which I had much difficulty with. I have major respect for you guys and gals that can run it... So, anyway, glad I finally took a lesson. Off to the lake this weekend to practice practice practice ! Pretty overwhelmed with all the tech in water sking properly.. Major fun though. Really sore in my upper back and shoulders right know. Although this is the first time I skied and didn't get bicep pump.. So, I guess thatis good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jipster43 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 @mikey that's awesome! Be sure to read Than Bogan's thread on a leveraged position. That will shave years off your learning curve - as will this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
