What kind of boat you should ski behind
Hey guys something I would like to go through is what type of boat you should use to properly do what experienced guys do. Well it makes a huge difference when you use the types of boats, because for professionals they have the best of the best which is a nice ski boat with all of the fancy ski bars and looks. They call those ski boats usually the name of ski boats used by pros are the latest model of Tahoe water sports, that is the best boat for this sport because it has smooth jet drive with a boating planer for maximum speed and acceleration for pulling skiers out of the water. See myself and my friends have been skiing for quit a while now and I will not lie we are pretty good for the stuff we deal with. Obviously we are not the richest people who can afford the best thing on the market but at least we got something we can do the sport with. All we have is a regular speed boat with an outboard motor and hooks that are close to the water, that is not what pros use but that is all we have. The boat we use is good for what we do it is reliable it never gives us problems it has all the power we need. If you ask me the stuff we are using will only make you a better water skiing because its a much bigger challenge, so when we do get the chance to use what pros use we will master it no problem because we deal with much harder set ups and do perfectly fine. The pros use things that make the sport easier for them, our way around uses much more compensating and technique, plus when we water ski we ski two guys at a time so that guy distracts you and sprays you with water so he is blinding you when your in the middle of doing something. It is a tonne of fun and the best part about it each time we ski the better we get.

Proper equipment
I have noticed with lots of people I talk to about water skiing using the improper equipment. A few days ago I met somebody who has the interest, so we started to talk about it and express our opinions and taught each other different methods and all that good stuff. He was saying he uses regular bindings on his ski nothing fancy and uses body glove name brand life jackets. Believe it or not but some life jackets can affect the performance of your skiing, according to him the weight and comfort of his life jacket allows him to get more speed off the turns and deep cuts. I wonder what could possibly be the difference between a body glove life jacket and a regular PDF life jacket. Weel the differences are that PDF life jackets are lighter but catch the wind more and moves around on your body when your skiing, plus the straps on PDF life jackets fly around in the wind. Litle things like that can annoy you when your skiing and will for sure affect the way you ski. Body glove life jackets are very comfortable and bind to your body size when you get it wet. So the advantage of the body glove life jacket is that it forms to your body size kind of like a one size fits all edition, it is extremely comfortable and looks alot better because the design makes you look sportier and more like a pro. I knew this guy was really into the sport so I am going to take this guys advice on it. He told me to always remember this saying "use the proper equipement".

Different designed ski handles
I am going to talk about different designed water ski handles. What they have now are different types of ski handles designed for comfort and certain style water skiing. For slalom water skiing people regularly use curved handles that fit the human hand perfect for the best grip so your confidence on the course is the best. Regular water skiers who use combo water skies use the old fashion ski handles which is plane straight rubber handle. Some people prefer two handles on one rope these e are good for people that do not have good control on the water. They have gel grip handles to for the hardcore skiers that have good endurance who can go for a long time, the gel feeling prevents calice and blister on hands also it is a nice feeling while you are on the water. You can pretty much buy whatever kind of handles you want they have gel grip double handle ropes, they have zig zag handles which come with gel grip also, they also sell curved handles in the shape of a half moon which again also come in small grip. I guess whatever you prefer makes you what you want yourself to be on the water.

Water ski designs
Hey their everyone today I am going to discuss about different designed water skies. Water skies are shaped differently fore certain experienced levelled skiers. What they make now for beginner water skiers is water skies that have a bar that attach to both water skies. What is the purpose of the beginner water skies? simply it helps the skier keep both legs together when they are starting off in the water so it helps them with their balance to get up. These skies come up to around the 40 to 60$ range. Usually water skiers start off with combo skies without the bar to help them. What they have now for water skies is a different shaped base and the difference between a regular based water skie and a newer based water skis is the bottom of them are more concave and a bit wider. The advantage of these water skies are great because it helps the skier make deeper hard cuts into the water. Another good thing about these designed skies because it makes a much bigger wake which makes your performance look really pro. Skies have not really changed much over the years but when they changed them it was such a good design there is no need for a better design.

What to do before buying a slalom ski
Hi their again just a couple more tips on what you should do before buying a slalom ski. Lots of people that are interested in slalom water skiing do not think about what their doing and what type of skiing their going to do. Usually people buy the cheapest type of ski they can which very well can affect the way you perform on the water. However through experience when i was first starting off we didn't have the prettiest skies in the world but we owned an old one which was not the safest thing to use. That ski was made of wood with barely a bend so whenever a little wave created would swoove over the water ski cause the front end to catch the water and make you fall down straight on your face. Thats why when you buy slalom skies I highly recomend the best of all of course the name brand O'BRIEN I guarantee you awsom performence and enjoyable times with this brand, however the parts such as the bindings and the fins are much better than any other type of brand water ski out their. The bindings are extremely comfortable well designed, the fin allows way more controle and balance and last but not least their perfectly balanced and the wight of them are made exactly the way people want them. Make sure when you invest in some skies you buy quality so they last and of course enjoy the sport so you can get the full water skiing experince out of it. In conclusion don't be a cheepoe when it comes down to this, a nice releif to water skiiers out their a nice thing to about O'BRIEN water skies they always have good deals.

How to ski a slalom course
Hello again today iI am going to write about how to ski in a slalom course. Basically all the tips I wrote about on my blogs are now going to pay off in the big run. The objective of a slalom course is to clear 6 orange colored buoys, in order to do this perfectly use strategic timing for each one. First off start off get yourself out of the water, warm up a bit by making a few maneuverments get use to the course, once you are comfortable and ready to go simply signal the driver by doing a thumbs up gesture so the driver knows it is ready to go. Once the boat reaches proper comfortable speed prepare yourself for buoy number one. Remember use strategy in order to clear the buyoys perfect and clean. Make your swing to the left do a hard cut clear the buoy, then right away swing as fats as you can to the other side and make another hard cut to clear that buoy. Once you have cleared a couple of buoys the course usualy lets off about an extra 50 feet why they do that is so you can resist on your acceleration and return to a comfortable position. Once you have passed that get ready for some more fun, do the same routine but next few passes will have more buoys so you train of thought must be on the money. Focus on the course glimpse ahead of yourself a bit get an idea how you will use your staregie. Finaly after you completed the course let go of the rop gilde on the shore and their shuld be all your friends waiting for you along with a nice cold beer with your name on it.
