How fast should i accelerate when pulling a water skier on my boat?

Question

please dont just make somthing up to get points.

Answer 1

I've spent years driving skiers.  Unless you've got power from h**l, you give it everything you got to pop up the skier, then cut back.  Smooth is the key.  The weight of the skier plays a big role.

Answer 2

yeah - juice it

tell them to hold on, and get their butts out of that water

that would be for 1 ski though -

probably about 70% for 2 skis or kids

Answer 3

Pretty rapidly at first--they have to get out of the water.
