He advises novice skiers not to squat on the ski with their lower body and not to stretch their arms, as it will bounce them over the wakes.

Mohannad Barakat GMC himself has attended drilling sessions for years. He tells that during these drills, an individual practices a gate pullout on every side of the boat and concentrates on body alignment.
