Water skiing

keep full tension in the rope when you start, lean back point the skis up in the start until you get the feel for it, lean left and right like you are skiing, its really easy
 
I did it once thinking it would be similar to skiing. It's not. Haven't tried it since but I suppose it gets fun if you can drop a ski and really start to carve.

yeah the only difficult part really is the start. do what this guy said and get up and then it's easy and fun as hell
 
Stay stacked with your core tight when getting out of the water. Once up you will be fine. Balance point is more over your heels than it is on downhill skis. Once you’re up and skiing straighten out your arms so that you don’t tire yourself out as fast
 
Ok thanks you NS for the tips basically I figured it out and it’s pretty easy tbh but my dumbass tried tapping a bouy and I ate shit but overall it was fun
 
I taught water skiing at a summer camp last year and what we told the kids to do in the water was keep their arms straight and their knees bent up to their chest into a ball. When the boat starts going let it pull you up for about 3 seconds then stand up (the kids were always impatient and most of them were young so we had them yell "I love cheeseburgers" then stand instead of counting to 3). That being said once you are up keep a slight bend in your knees and lean back. Try and keep the handle at about waist level and keep your arms straight.

Nearly identical to what I was taught. Except for ieatcheezboogers.
