Find a Coach
Whether you are seasoned 3 event tournament skier, a slalom specialist or brand new to waterskiing, coaching should be at the top of your list of priorities. The best sportspeople in the world have coaches for a good reason; if you aren’t improving you are probably going backwards. Practice only makes perfect if you are practicing right!
Find a coach in your region, get in touch and arrange some 1 on 1 coaching sets.
Coached Sets;
– These tend to range from 15 to 25 minutes in length for Trick, 6 to 8 passes for slalom and as many jumps as you can handle until your feet make you stop!
– Prices vary depending on coach so get in touch.
– Some coaches have their own boats and some use club boats – again this is something you should discuss with the coach.
