[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 151594, member: 55"] A skier would likely be easier than a tube. Obviously, you aren't going to teach a beginner to ski behind that, as you really need to let the boat do the work with beginners, but someone with moderate experience should do it fine. They'll be pushing water for a second, and probably will have to help pop themselves out of the hole, but as soon as they are up on top, you should be able to get up on plane yourself, and move near as well as you do without a load behind you. I have some friends that are die hard water skiers. So much so that one of the sons places in the top 5 nationally, mostly in jump. However, the father actually grew up skiing behind an 18 horse. He said he thought they were living in high cotton when his dad bought a 25. :lol: Tubes just flat out take a lot of power to pull. Once you get them on plane, they don't pull [i]that[/i] hard, but getting them there is no easy feat. [/QUOTE]
