When turning with a skier on the back you must remember less
experienced skiers or boarders cannot control where they are going and can
easily reach speeds twice that of what the boat is going. This is commonly
known as the “whip”, which can be great fun to watch for those in the boat, but
can be terrifying and off-putting for the new skier out the back.
As a driver you can slow down so the boat is not going as
fast (even to the extent that you are off the plain). Also if you have enough
room you can widen your turning radius. Both these techniques will grub speed
off the poor joker out the back dropping nuggets out his boardies!
Again, if the skier is caught on the inside of the turn he
will be sinking, so again widen your turn so you don’t put them further inside
you causing them to sink further. Secondly speed up to get them “out of the
hole” so to speak. Just remember, not too much gas that you end up sending them
at sonic speed across onto the outside of the turn because that never ends
pretty.
