try and keep the handle closer to your hips

Looks like you might have your weight on the back leg and locked front leg in the first pic. Remember chest up and out, shoulders back, handle down by your waist (its up a little high). Second pic you have a basebal grip on the handle. Move to a 15" handle and youll find it easier to break the baseball grip habit. Also, get a new no-stretch line.

If youre having fun, just keep practicing and youll eventually get better form. Youll notice you can ride a lot longer too before getting tired. Proper stance should not involve fighting the boat constantly.

yeah, i've corrected the baseball grip since then. but i will work on my weight transition and holding the rope closer to my hip next time out. these pics were only my second time out. ive gotten a little more comfortable since, but thanks for the tips, hopefully ill get better quick.
