SNAP Instructional

Does anyone have SNAP's section on how to both deepwater start and topwater start?

I let someone borrow my copy and have never seen it again.

I want to attempt to teach both starts and I think SNAP's video instructional (ridiculous underwater camera angles) would help her learn more quickly than me shouting at her over my outboard.

Why dont you just bring someone with you that skates and have them get in the water with her????

Never know what'll happen with that.

I taught my sister, who was 6 months pregnant at the time, within the first 30 mins. She was calm as can be. Then a few months later, her baby boy was born with gills.

But another time, I almost had my eye gouged out and was then partially drowned when my 'date' spazzed around after the underwater plow job.

W, Yeah thats true. Maybe teach them to start sitting off the dock at first and then try a deepwater???

i always tell a beginner to learn to float on the board first for deepwater. then just keep your arms straight. got a chick up first try like that last weekend.

triggamike,
Thanks man. Bring it with you when you go out, if you don't mind.
Hopefully the Bayou Boys will hit it up Saturday.
I'm probably going to have a few too many adult beverages Saturday night and will have to sleep until late Sunday afternoon for good measure.

Regardless, if anyone has just those two sections, or links to them, please post them.

W, just tell them to suck their knees up and let the board float to their soles and put more weight on toes and lift toes. thats basically what SNAP instructs.
