Is water skiing hard becuase I have tryed before and I can't seem to get up on my skis!?

Question

I go to the lake every year and I have not tryed in a while.

Answer 1

ofcourse it is you are gliding across water i still cant even get the hang of it

Answer 2

No once you get used to it. it will be really easy. just try and take it slowly when standing up and bend your knees. you will get it.

Answer 3

Let the boat pull you up.  You might be trying to stand up too quickly before the boat has enough speed to pull you out of the water.  Try almost sitting on the skis until you're going fast enough for the skis to support your weight.  Pretty soon you'll be trying to get up on a slalom.

Answer 4

no not at all i have been skiing for years it is like riding a bike just keep trying once you get it you will not lose it

Answer 5

You do need some muscles in your legs to raise yourself up.  If you have some time before you go, think about leg exercises, or even just walking or running can help.  But the above responder is correct.  Once you get the hang of it, you can do it.  It is like any other skill.
