Hello I’m Arturo Nelson, we’re here at Aqa Sports here in Miami you can find more information about our ski school at www.aqasports.com We’re continuing talking about starting water skiing which it starts with a pair of combos and I was talking about balance and position. I really consider that the best way to start is on dry land to get the right position which is knees and lower body relaxed and upper body firm, this is the water ski position you should be relaxed with your lower body and strong with your upper body. You should be able to do this movement without moving your feet, you start on squat position and you start standing up very slow, very strong with your upper body facing forward and your arms should always be relaxed, you should be able to these and achieve these many times.
