yeah, pretty much when your pulled up, the driver will want to "punch it" or go full throttle until your up out of the water, which will only take a few seconds. as you get the hang of it, you will probalby find that you can get up out of the water at a slower speed.
as far as when youre being pulled, you will want the driver to go anywhere between 15-20 if your a beginer or your working on surface tricks, and between 22-26 if you are not a beginer or are trying to jump.
thats about the best advice i have for ya.

Yea Turnocity thats what I was going to tell him. If you really want to have a lot more fun behind a sea doo I would say to get you a wakeskate. You can get one for around $100. They are great behind a pwc.

i ride behind a SeaDoo GTX Bombadier and i find it reli easy, just as Turnocity said you need to put full throttle untill you are up and out of the water. also you need to lean back quite a bit because of it pulling you straight away. i like riding at about 20mph but i have to ride in the sea so it might be different on a lake.
