@Brent Me and my friends have made a small group and we are all progressing together, i know it would be wiser to join a school and take lessons from a pro, but it's more fun that way. Besides i have you guys to help me out :D @davemac yes i can see the videos , also emphasizes on the importance of the balance between your front and back foot, can't wait to get back in the water and try what i have learned. i have also noticed in Seth Stisher videos that edge transition starts as soon as you leave the wake, whereas i would still be pulling for a second or two longer.

@ Brent I'm from Cyprus, and i ski in the ocean with rough water most of the time, but with winter closing in, the sea is getting calmer. I plan to keep on skiing until early December, i'm hoping by December i would have improved my turns to the extent where i can find a smooth rythm in my skiing. cheers

@Than Bogan There is no space between the feet , i will try to work on my body position before readjusting the ski , the knee bend and the hip forward is my next objective. @PBD Yes i do feel losing momemntum and speed before initiation the edge change and it's more noticable on my offside. so for next time i will try to be smoother on the turns , knees and ankles bent and hips forward. Thanks a lot guys, all of your replies have been helpful to me. i didn't know i would get get so much feedback, i will try using a videocam next time

Thanks for your replies, I will try managing my weight over the ski more evenly next time i'm in the water and see what gives. I'm also getting some gloves. Any chance this "wheelie" is being caused by my ski? it's a 66" my front binding and rear toe plate are in the most forward position, the Fin is non adjustable and i've removed the wing.

Hello, my name is Eddy i've been slalom skiing for 3 years now. i'm a free skier and it's one my favorite hobbies, however i have not had any training or lessons and i have taught myself how to ski on my father's outboard motor boat. i KNOW that i need to adjust my position, i think i have problems with the edge to edge transition on both side turns,more so on my offside turn. i feel that most of the time that my ski has too much tip out of the water. Ihave had a friend take photos of me on both turns in order to see what i'm doing wrong. I am runing on a 2004 Conelly Hook ski. i'm 6"1 and weight 165 pounds, average boat speed is around 30mph.

So i am hoping that someone could guide me give me tips on how to improve my technique and my overall skiing. Thank You :)
