Where Did You Learn To Water Ski?

I can't actually say I ever learned. I used to ride on my dad's shoulders while he skied, but that does not really count. I did try it once, on Lake Mead. I had a hard time getting up, but I did make it a couple of times.

I'm not really a water person so I've never tried water-skiing. Not very sporting at all except for anything to do with horses.

I gave it a try, but it never really was for me. I did enjoy the boogie board more... I might have got into skiing if I could do it barefoot I just found the skis themselves to uncomfortable... My Awesome Uncle and Aunt used to live on the Rock River in Janesville WI.. My uncle has passed on... recently.. but he was the one who taught me skiing and quite a bit about the River... I had a hard time keeping the skis right... My feet naturally wanted to cross them .. .. I was like well this is not for me lol ... I think it is just my natural responce to hiking in the woods and such when i felt sliding motion I'd naturally put on the brakes.. from wandering a lot on steep hills in the snow an ice around that time. :D It was really fun though .. .. I did how ever do better at snow skiing.. After an interesting little trip lol .. my first step on the snow i shot off like a bottle rocket .. and went flying down to small hills under a picnic table and stopped just inches of a woman .. i was like.. how do you slow down or stop in these things.. luckily the woman was an instructor and was able to tell me then and there.. then i laughs as she explained it.. as I remembered back to my braking issue on water skis lol.. it was fun though .. Any type of skiing sport is tricky for me because with my other sport of fast walking or olympic race walking i am used to leaning in my walk in certain ways naturally.. which on skis.. well turns into highspeed skiing lol.. i probably could get used to it but i had to put all shoe wearing sports one hold do to a ankle swelling issues.. after a bad injury, and later a bad infection. Have fun skiing!
