ok, on the daily wake tip, it said to keep the handle at the extreme opposite side of the body. What is meant by this?
I'm going to try a 15 foot dockstart in about a week, what is the best method for this?

15 foot above the water?

hold the rope in one hand with a good bit of slack. Bend you knees as the rest of the rope starts to take out, grab the handle with both hands, the driver should start to slowly give some throttle, right before all the slack is out jump up and bring the handle to your hip, don't jump to early - its almost better to be late.

you are going to have a long way down

Hey I have a Idea , start with a couple of normal dock starts and get some feel for the motions, then try your 15 foot stunt that will probably blow your knee out.

You jumped off a 15ft drop into the water on a dock start? ..twice? And your rear knee didn't go 'pop' or anything? Screw posting the video here, go ahead and send it to Pointless or WBM.

check out the profile pic for "refusetoconform". He has a sequence picture of himself doing a start from a treehouse about 12 feet above the water.

oh, well this chick I know has a lake house, and I did it off the top of the platform that covers her pontoon boat shed. The boat is on a hydraulic lift, and the roof is about 13 feet above water, except last time I tried it, the lake was 2-3 feet lower than normal.
so, yeah I haven't blown out my knee, but now y'all are starting to scare me Shocked
