What is best position to adopt in water for waterskiing?

Question

i am trying 2 self teach how 2 waterski, but cant seem 2 find right position once in water. always end up with skis behind me and cant seem to turn around to get going.

Answer 1

Practice practice & more practice you will overcome its like ridding a bike, Watch other people how they do it

Answer 2

when i learned to waterski, my friends dad told me to imagine sitting on the toilet (rediculous thought, but it worked).  basically, my knees were at about a 90 degree angle, and the skis were pointed at about a 45 degree angle.  when you feel that you are getting up onto the water, that is the time to stand up.  it takes some time to figue out the timing.  it sounds to me that your knees aren't bent enough.  try leaning back a little more, and keep trying!  i fell about 30 times before i first got up.

Answer 3

As if you were sitting on a chair in the water.
