You first want to be back quite a way to make sure your ski is lining up with the trailer. Right here I am going really slow and just making sure I am lined up just right.
Now I come in within a few feet of the trailer and the ski and the trailer are lined up perfect, still I am not going to fast just yet. Notice how my feet are planted on the top of the hull and not planted inside, your feet will get wet in there. I don’t suggest doing this clothed for your first few times. Keep your wetsuit on as nothing is worse once your all changed and for whatever reason your dry clothes get soaked.
As soon as the nose of the ski is over the trailer I give the gas one last punch making sure the ski get’s all the way up the trailer.
I give my driver Peter Mel the go ahead and he gradually gasses his truck and pulls us up.
(Note from us to you. We do not suggest driving up a boat ramp with your ski on the trailer that has yet been hooked to the trailer. We have seen a handful of ski’s fall back off the trailer and onto the ground doing it this way)
