There is two different type of throttling. Racing and pleasure. Two totaly different styles. One is safer and maintains the equipment. The other pushes the boat and equipment to its limits. If you want to practice the race style make sure you have your vest,helmet and support boat around knowing what you are doing. I would also suggest you do this buy yourself if your boat is set up for only one person to run it. No sense in getting a friend hurt if you are just learning. Im sure there are plenty of guys on here that have stuffed ,spun or just landed wrong and when it was over they they were thanking there lucky stars no one got hurt. It happened to me when I started running fast in my pleasure boat. No one got hurt but we ripped out both front bolsters,bent the throttle in half and were all lucky to have stayed in the boat. If you are pleasuring and just want to run fast just be careful.
One last thought. The water is never the same so dont think you have a great rhythm going and get to relaxed. There is always that crazy wave that came from no where that will ruin your day. Im a nobody to be giving any advice but want to keep everyone safe that want to experiance the coolest feeling in the world. "flying a boat out of the water and landing smooth 20 yards away from where you left"
