What is a pendulum & why does it matter for Slalom Water Skiing?

My best explanation of what a pendulum is and why it's so important in slalom! Work on utilising the pendulum in your slaloming and notice how much easier it is to stay early and wide on the bouys!

@@RobHazelwood how do I keep the slack out of the rope do I go faster ??

[@helenmcfarlane1813]

Hi Rob this is really useful. You asked about future content - please can you give some tips on initiating edge change? I have a bad habit of skiing directly at buoys... Thank you!

[@RobHazelwood]

I’ll add it to the list! Any ideas always welcome!! Glad you found it useful!

For someone just learning at 15 off what boat speed do you recommend?

[@RobHazelwood]

A lot of variables but really the main two are body weight and what ski you are on. Ideally for the corm year the slower the better as long as you are not sinking too much. Every 2mph you go up makes it exponentially harder to run the course. So making sure you finding the right speed is important. For someone say 80kg probably 40 or 43kph on an Omni (wider course ski) would be a solid place to start.
