Jeff Rodger's Top 10 Tips
To Being A World Champion

1. Good gates – start wide and slow
2. Keep a tight line
3. Lean and lean hard
(with the tight line created in#2)
4. If you do #1,2 & 3 you should be wide and early
5. Keep back arm pressure through both wakes
6. Remain firm and yet flexible in your legs
7. Once you know the ski is going to clear the buoy, start looking for the next buoy
8. If you follow #7 your head should remain up
9. Slow the boat down and shorten the rope
10. Have fun – live, laugh and enjoy your family

Dear Jeff, I always seem to carry slack rope at 1 ball...what causes this and more importantly,how do I fix it? Rob Krogman, Colorado

Hello Rob, Well, you could be either pulling too hard and too long or going to a flat ski into #1, rather than being on edge. Ways to correct this would be to get plenty of angle and let the boat pull you through, but try not to generate too much speed. If you are on a flat ski, you need to hold the ski on edge going out to #1, then you need to make an edge change(never let the ski ride flat!!!) I hope this helps!!! Jeff
