There are two ways to get up. the first is to float in the water vertically and let the board float under your feet. Suck your knees up to your chest so that you have control over the board while it's under water (make sure both feet are facing the jetski with the board pependicular to the ski). Let the jetski slowly pull the rope tight and slowly drag you. as you feel the line tense up, lift up the toes of your feet and begin to lean backand the board will rise up in front of you. once you feel like the board is steady in front of you, have the ski haul ass. the next way is to hold the handle in one hand and hold your board in front of your feet as you float on your back. have the jet ski pull the rope tight and repeat the above steps from there. Hope that helps.
