Best starting block position: left foot forward or right foot?
Former Member
I remember when my friend taught me how to water ski. He told me to stand feet together and then he pushed me. Instinctively my left foot shot out to steady myself. He said that is the foot that should be in front on the slalom ski.
What is the thinking on the starting block position? Which foot should be in front?

My wife is still experimenting, she tried and lean back grad start 3 years ago and ended up with a 95% tear of her rotator cuff....which leads to my last bit of "wisdom".....practice starts 2-3x a week during the season.....not the last 2 weeks of a taper!
Oh great. 1x a week max on practice for me. I really don't want a Nick Brunelli type start rip ... Thanks for cheering me up. You owe me vino for that!
