I pull a lot of people, and I've def. noticed everyone has their own way to be pulled. More advanced riders can get up behind just about everyone.

What seems to help is getting the right technique for the riders, then just pull gradual, making sure you don't pull the rope out of their hands (girls mostly), or pull them over (guys who won't let go). I use almost 1.5 to 2 seconds to get up to nearly full throttle - by that point, they're up, and I'm just jumping up on plane, then back right off.

Now - girls I do pull more gradual - guys - the bigger they are, the faster I get up to speed.

When I first, I didn't know the right way, but I had *my* way - give me tension @ idle for about 3 seconds, then hit it as hard as the boat could... I'd plant it with everything I had 'till I came up plowing water with the board side to side, then I'd spin around. After watching some stuff (including the link @ the bottom), I can now get up from just about any pull...
