When you arrive for your fun session, your instructor will give you and your friends a short safety briefing before taking you through the basics of waterskiing, including how the cable system works. They’ll provide some essential tips and techniques to ensure you spend as much time on the skis – rather than in the water – as possible. Then you’ll grab your skis and get yourself hooked up to the cable system, which can go at different speeds to suit your skill level.
