Lindsey..I do (or did) know how to waterski and it looks very similiar. When we would try to teach someone to ski, they couldn't get up either. They thought the boat pulled them up...it doesn't. Once you start on top of the water....just stand up.

What they told me to do was lean back and keep the edge of the board out of the water, until there was enough speed for me to stand up. Easier said than done! The board is huge so there's a lot of resistance against the water. I started out with my arms by my sides and would end up with my hands rubbing against the board at my feet. My arms aren't strong enough to pull against that much weight! I just got up and my whole body is aching today! Oh well, I'm sure I will try it again sometime. Kyle told me it's just like snowboarding, but on water. Well, right now I'd rather be snowboarding At least there you just have to stand up and you're flying down a hill!
