I've never skied before since as a kid we boated on casitas(no body contact) but now that I have my own boat I want to learn before I get any older. Is there any chance I could start on a single ski? There is a nice one at the river house already.:cool:

Learn to wakeboard...so much more fun, and physically easier on the body

you wont have a problem with either.. but I think wake boarding is a little easier.. just takes some upper body strength to get up.. then you cool.. Try it this year.. I'll bring my board to spring break.

I have an 18 ft jetboat...no wake but I guess it would make learning easier:cool:

Absolutely,
Since I learned to wakeboard about 7 years ago I have not skied. I had/have a nice HO slalom ski that I have not used since 1997. Wakeboard is way more fun and less fatigue.
If you do decide to ski I would try a set of doubles and then get that down before you do a single. Unless you weight 140# you will get very frustrated trying to learn on a single first.
Have fun,
OL

Well if you do that, you might as well get a rainbow sticker for the boat. :D
Seriously, I would learn to do both, but personally I live to ski when I go boating. You can learn to get up slalom, but it would be easier to get your sea legs on doubles, then start the single ski shit. The biggest advantage to learning to ski is having a driver that knows what they are doing.
Get up on doubles for a couple times, learn what it feels like to get pulled around, how your boat pulls ya out of the water, that kind of stuff. The you can learn to slalom, either by dropping one or deep starting (or if your at true masocist, beach starting).
Good luck.
