This is how is it supposed to go

How NOT to jump the ramp

Another fail

These photos were from their early attempts. My dad and his friends figured out what they were doing wrong. They had been trying to go straight up the middle of the ramp. That would create slack in the line. 

The correct way was to go up at an angle. For example, as the boat passed the ramp, if the ramp was on the left (port) side, then the skier would want to target the lower right side of the ramp and aim for the top left side. That would keep the tow rope under tension.
