Here on the forum there is nice picture from @BraceMaker about physics of start.
In words, as I understand it )
- the pivot point of the ski is right under front boot
- pressure of water level which is above this point resists getting the ski to the horizontal position and keeps the ski Vertical
- pressure of water which is below this pivot point rotates ski in to desired position (minimizing back foot pressure helps this rotation)
I try to keep front boot closer to waterline, handle closer to front boot level, knees inside arms and sit on back heel during start.
so far everything is going well
