that is because Leanne you are trying to use an armchair strapped to a waterski and it will just keep sinking. what you need to try if your bored is fruit booting....

Normally people start combo ski's first and learn to "drop a ski" master the balance and tech part and then try deep waterstarts these are a technique that comes with practice. You may want to purchase a deep Vee handle and line which your mon ski slips into and steady the ski for you then releases. I have a movie clip file of mono deep waterstarts I will find it and post the link for you.

regards

Lesley
