How to get up on one ski

As you all see in this video this guy gives tips to people that water ski how to get started by getting up on one sk. Its obviously easier to get up with two skis because you have 2 points of balance your body, so this guy gives out tips how to master at getting up single ski. He mentions two ways to get up the first one is either dragging your foot behind you to keep your balance while the boat pulls you up. Or he says you can place both feet in the boot and crouch as much as possible so you are not fighting the boat therefore you are not using a tone of force to pull your body up so if you relax and keep one solid postion it will allow you to get up smoothly with the boats acceleration. And as he mentions since the boards surface isnt as wide as a wakeboard or a kneeboard he says while your body is still planning out of the water your going to have to keep that solid position for an extra 5 to 10 seconds. And when your body is up just let your arms out straight out and lean back a bit and use your body to control your movement from right to left.
