The Mina Effect

The beauty of surf-skiing is that anyone do it! It does not initially demand any particular skills or fitness level from its participants. There is no age limit and you can start from teenagers up. It is a great leveler and many times when learning, women will initially have the advantage over men, as it is not a sport entirely dominated by strength. Women often find the balance easier (probably best not to ask why), and they often take advice much more readily. The boats used are of an intermediate level, so they are not too challenging to learn on.

There are two things however that do take a bit of time to get used to:

1. Balance and
2. How to negotiate the surf.
