Speed is defined as distance over time. If we cover more distance in the same amount of time, we will arrive earlier at the next buoy.
Chris Rossi gives his best tips on bringing your body -- and your slalom -- to the next level this season.
Don't worry about where the buoy is. Remember, the buoy is not the point where we HAVE to turn, it's the earliest place that we CAN turn.
You feel fast because you are traveling at a high rate of speed, directly at the buoy.
Ever feel like you are pulling like an animal and still getting beat by the boat? It is not a good feeling.

For years water skiers have set up their race courses while studying a diagram that is a flat out lie. To draw a picture of the slalom course that shows the buoys nearly as wide as they are apart is horribly misleading to say the least. As long as you're attacking the slalom course thinking that you need to ski wider than you need to ski down the lake, you're going to have a hard time skiing efficiently.
