Directions on how to start with the Aqua Buddy:
1.
Rider needs to first put on water skis or wake board.
2.
To load the Aqua Buddy the rider must pull themselves
onto the seat using the handles.
3.
Have the boat driver or spotter hand the rope to rider.
4.
Slowly remove any slack in the rope and be sure that the
boat and rider are facing the same direction.
5.
Rider must keep skis straight or wakeboard at about a 45
degree angle to the boat. Rider must be facing the back of
the boat.
6.
Once the rider signals to the spotter they are ready the
driver can take off. (take off speed depends on weight and
strength of rider)
7.
It is best to start going and not drag the rider. (dragging
rider causes fatigue and causes the rider to veer off course)
8.
Once the rider is moving fast enough to stand up its time to
ski/ride. The Aqua Buddy will stay behind once the rider
takes their weight off of the seat.
