A new kid moved to the neighborhood who wants to learn the course. Any practice tips I can pass on to him to work on in open water or in the course when he is skiing the course with his dad (who does not ski the course) and I am not there to coach him. This kid seems to be a natural and shows no fear. I am actually trying to hold him back a little so he does not take a bad fall which could scare him out of the sport.
thanks

I wouldn't worry about holding him back if he shows no fear now he can handle a couple of tough falls. The first time my kid had the wind knocked out he was a little skittish but he got right back up on the water. I find it important after a hard fall as long as the kid isn't really hurt (like needs to go to the hospital) to have them get up and ski again before they get in the boat. This keeps any fear from setting in.
I should never complain about my boat's wake bothering my slalom pull. Maybe I can use the air time to advantage?
