How to Get in the Water with Your Water-skis

Hello! My name is Arturo Nelson. We are here at AQA Sports in Miami to learn how to water ski. If you want to learn more, log into my webpage, www.aqasports.com. Once you’re ready with your life vest on and with your skis on and on the platform, make sure the boat is in neutral or the engine is off, and let’s go into the water. The best way to do it is walk into the edge of the platform, sit down, throw your skis in the water and throw yourself. Once you’re in the water, relax. Don’t start swimming around. Get your knees to your chest. Let the ski peaks of the ski get out of the water, relax, and wait for the rope to get tight. Don’t get desperate; don’t try to swim around. Just relax and enjoy. Water skiing is a very fun sport, and you should always try to enjoy it. If you feel uncomfortable, let the driver know, and let someone from the boat help you up.
