Do any of ya'll find it easier or harder to take off from a dock or something like that than starting in the water? Ive never tried from a dock or anything and was wondering

It's easier if you know how to get up already, so if you're just starting I would go from the water.

when you get good at starting try putting the skate in the water and jumping off the dock onto it when the boat starts. not easy but its fun to try

Deep water is the only way to go.

i do find starting on a dock easier but when your learning tricks there isnt going to be a dock everywere you fall, so you sould definately practice deepwater starts.

Dock starts are my preference, cuz I'm a Taco Bell Chalupa when it comes to cold water.
