Does anybody know how hard it is to start on the swim platform and slide the tail in the water. Is there a chance of hitting your head on the boat? |

It's really easy.
1) Start the boat with yourself standing on top of the front your board on the platform, make sure you're to your surfing side and you have a rope.
2) While the boat is getting up to speed hold yourself down on your board to prevent it from sliding off by the wake.
3) When your speed is good, stand up and take out all the slack in the rope so can lean back but still have it tight.
4) Slide your back foot to its normal riding location, but keep all your weight on the front of the board.
5) When you're ready, shift all your weight on to your back foot and slide off the platform. Always be sure the shift your weight or else the front of your board might catch the water and dive under.
I'm sure there's something that's missing.........but that is the basic idea. _________________ Wing King, Baby!!! |

mr. Blond, i too have been wondering this, and that sounds a couple notches harder than "really easy" but im guessing you just overexplained.
anyone have any video of the process? visual would be a great help... _________________ http://www.myspace.com/muxpux
