How to

Step by step
  1. Put on water-jump skis, or your regular skis if the facility allows.

    Check the binding release setting together with the staff.

  2. Run straight down the brush in-run with both skis parallel and about shoulder-width apart.

    Keep your speed inside the facility's recommended range and hold it steady so you never stall. Bend your knees slightly and look just past the lip (the end of the take-off ramp).

  3. As you reach the lip, stand straight up through the whole sole of your foot, from the ball to the heel.

    Don't lean forward or back: keep your hips stacked directly over both skis as you leave the ramp. You don't need to kick hard; just ride the shape of the lip and you'll rise naturally.

  4. In the air, keep both skis parallel and your knees softly bent so your body stays compact.

    Lift your chest slightly and look down at the water where you'll land. Hold your hands lightly in front at hip height to balance your front-to-back position.

  5. Land with both skis flat and level, in a standing posture, as you enter the water.

    Don't tip backward: bend your ankles, knees, and hips all at once so your whole leg absorbs the resistance of the water. Keep your back straight and sink down as if bringing your thighs toward your chest.

  6. Breathe out through your nose at the moment you hit the water to keep water from going up your nose.

  7. Once you're in the water, release your skis quickly and swim to the edge of the pool.

Tips & common mistakes

Tips

Keeping both skis parallel and shoulder-width apart gives you a stable base that resists tipping to either side. If one ski slides ahead of the other, your direction breaks up at landing and you fall easily.

COMMON MISTAKE

Sitting back or rolling backward on landing → caused by your upper body lagging behind at take-off or in the air, leaving you tipped back. Stack your hips directly over both skis, look at the water, and stay standing as you enter.
