That seems to be a problem on here(no responce). Try staying low on the ski till you get to a decent speed then try to stand.Also make sure your learning on a glassy surface, creek or river. Trying to stand at high speeds can also be difficult because of there being less of the ski in the water. Bend your knees slightly and ride with your feet apart and one foot just in front of the other(stagard stance). Keeping your center of gravity low while learning is key to sucsess.The straighter you stand the faster you will become off balance.Dont be afraid to ride it like a motorcycle. Lean into your turns and if you turn and the rear end slides out from under you that means you need to put more weight on the rear of the ski.Depending on how much power your ski has,you can use throttle to help you regain balance if you are starting to fall during a turn(as long as you are falling in the direction you are turning).Good luck and be patient.These are a blast to ride with so many options for fun.
