Water-skiing requires strength and skill. While learning, be prepared for repeated tumbles and resulting soreness. To water-ski, you need strong leg and back muscles and a relaxed posture - being stiff doesn't help at all, and practice bending your knees slightly and maintaining them parallel to each other. The operators in Goa will train you until you become good enough, or give up. Either way this sport is definitely worth a try. Where to Water-ski Candolim, Canalgute, Arossim, Utorda, Mobor and Rajbaga Skills Required Comfort with water, physical stamina. Safety Tips Apart from the operator, ensure there is another observer on the boat. If waters are rough, avoid skiing - choppy seas prevent the boat from maintaining a steady course and speed. Go over the hand signals with the operator to avoid confusion and miscommunication. One of the most important signals is to let the driver/observer know you are all right after a fail, by clasping both hands above your head. |
