AnglerGirl Posted April 2, 2010 #1 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Has anyone taken advantage of the free waterskiing offered at the Marina? If so, how was the experience? I wanted to do it last year but didn't. Nor did I meet anyone who took advantage of this freebie either. My sister told me she wants to waterski on our upcoming trip. I think it would be fun but wonder why I never hear about peope doing it. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnDriver Posted April 3, 2010 #2 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Not too bad except that you are behind a Zodiac which doesn't exactly YANK you out of the water! The skiing is fine, it's just the 'launch' that is tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnglerGirl Posted April 3, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted April 3, 2010 TY! This is good info. Looks like upper body strength will be a requirement for the waterskiing task. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnDriver Posted April 5, 2010 #4 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Yeah, I would avoid a single ski...two is much easier. BTW - the water is flatter than the lake near our house, so that is NOT an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnglerGirl Posted April 5, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted April 5, 2010 LOL! We're used to flat water here. Stand up paddleboarding is excellent for flat water. Have you tried it? Someone I know who builds stand up paddleboards out of Hawaii shipped 2 dozen to a client of his somewhere in FP (not Tahiti) back in January. The boards have been stuck in their shipping container at Papeete since Feb-March. I'm waiting to hear where these boards are going to be so we can rent them. The waters in FP are too nice to not do some stand up paddleboarding as far as I'm concerned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
