Wait until the Tide's in!

If sitting on the dock then its just like doing a deep water start but no need to floor the throttle quite so much.

If jumping from dock to water then same as above but as you see the line about to come tight just give a little jump... timing is key. It's really not difficult - if you are nervous then get the board really over the edge of the dock so you literally cannot fail. once you've done it a few times it will become second nature and a very convenient way to stay dry


Good to see you today - Give me a holla if you encounter any issues.

Best Regards,

Mike

After a few attempts and face plants, I successfully mangaged it

I’ve got more advice for you after today

Don’t jump in the water fully clothed with your wallet car keys and phone
Don’t dock start when the tide is hurtling out
Don’t stand to near the edge and fall on your face before the boat even starts moving
Don’t put your misses in charge of the camera (all sky, no funny sh1t)

You forgot one major point.

Find a dock thats easy to climb back on while your learning!
