How hard is it to water ski?

Question

I've never done it, but I really want to at some point. It looks like so much fun!

Answer 1

It is a blast, yes. Hard, yes. Getting leg strength going balancing and standing up... then staying up! If you get good ride outside the wake and return. Smashing into the water, not fun. A face belly flop, smack. Make sure u trust the boat driver and the spotter. Get signals down b4 u start. Their are ways to start off standing but more rewarding start from scratch in the water! Good luck. You will love it!

Answer 2

It's MUCH easier to wakeboard...and funner.

Answer 3

try towable tubes before water ski, it easy and fun:)!

And u asked me "?" Why?

Answer 4

As soon as you can mentally separate it from being dragged across the top of the water face-down by a boat, it's easy.  Seriously though, the hard part is being able to get up on the water skis once the boat gets going.  See, you start laying kind of on your back in the water with the water skis sticking up, and you're supposed to "get up" on the water once the boat starts moving.  Not an easy trick.  The only way I've been able to water ski is by having a boat pull me off a dock -- that way it's almost like jumping on snow skis, as long as the boat doesn't pull you off-balance once the slack goes out of the rope line.  But hey, once you're on the water, it's a blast!

Answer 6

Water skiing is awsome! You should be able to learn in a day or two. You just have to learn how to balance yourself and you will be good to go! I learned in a matter of about an hour how to stay up on two skiis. Took me even less to learn on one. Great Sport!
