Learn To Water Ski!

Hi and welcome aboard, I'm Todd your virtual water ski coach.

My story

I started water-skiing over 40 years ago, as a five-year-old standing on the top of my dad's ski binders while he rode a set of doubles.  Since then I've had the pleasure of seeing my own children start skiing in pretty much the same way, and in the intervening years I've taught hundreds of people how to get started in this great sport.

Eventually I became a competitive slalom water skier, proudly representing my state in national competition. At my slalom-skiing best I was the Over 25 Men's State Champion, with a big trophy and everything :o).

I certainly don't pretend to be the best skier in the world, but I do know how to ski well, and I definitely know how to take your skiing to the next level.

I achieved the level of success that I did, entirely without a coach. I don't say that out of ego or to show off, but because when I look back at that experience I realise that there are probably lots of other water-skiers who are in a similar position to what I was.

Perhaps that's you right now.

How would you go about finding a water-ski coach in your area? Are there any coaches near you at all?  If you could find one, could you afford their time and expertise? Would it be feasible to spend time with them on a waterway regularly? Could you make that work with your busy schedule? And with theirs?

These were all the challenges that I had, and not seeing any obvious solutions, I just managed without. I was able to get some ad-hoc coaching here and there, and I was blessed to have access to world-class slalom skiers in my area, but that would not be the situation for most people.

And that's how the idea for the Virtual Water Ski Coach was born. This is the coaching service that I wish I had when I was making that progression from leisure skiing to competitive slalom.

One-on-one video coaching, online, on demand. In your own time, at your own pace, at the right price, pay-as-you-go, and with guaranteed results.

Who this site is for

If you're into water skiing, then this site is for you.

As well as the actual video-based online coaching service (see below), we want this site to be a resource for all water-skiing enthusiasts from complete beginners all the way up to the competitive skier.

Slalom skiing is our favourite tournament discipline - and is the major focus of this site - but we also love wakeboarding, barefooting, and boating in general, and we're aiming to have something for everybody here.

Whatever your level, we've got what you need to improve and get maximum enjoyment from your time on the water.
