SKI SCHOOL

If you want to learn how to water ski, are an intermediate, or an advanced skier, McGinnis WaterSki will teach you.  Every day we teach a new person to ski.  We use the boom, which is a 15 foot extension pole on the side of the boat (as shown below).  Once you have mastered the boom, you will try the 5 foot extension handle off the boom and then onto the long rope out the back of the boat.  You will learn in half the time with a professional lesson.

 

SLALOM

Once you have mastered two skis it is onto slalom skiing.  We will teach you how to get up on a slalom ski every time.  You will learn to cross the wake, using the correct position and technique.  Next you will learn the half slalom course, this teaches you rhythm and timing.  Finally you will progress to the full course.  You will learn the full course in segments, starting by being able to ski around number 1 and number 6 ball and then gradually closing the gap.   When you can ski the full course, you will progress to higher speeds and shorter lines.  Then the fun really begins!

WAKEBOARDING

Learning to get up on a wakeboard is a technique.  Many people come to us just not able to get out of the water on a board.  We will teach you on the boom, and get you started immediately.  First you must learn the basics, just riding back and forth on the wakes.  Next you will learn to jump the wakes and then its onto some easy tricks.
