You will learn both simple and advanced planning techniques to come up to plane, handling waves & wakes and several other maneuvering techniques that will keep your family safe and your boat undamaged.
- Recognizing Plowing Mode
- Transitioning to/from Planing Mode
- Crossing Waves in Planing Mode

This entire course is taught on the water and will teach you the basic parts of the boat, rules of the water, operating instructions, handling waves & wind, and safety checklists.
As a wise old captain once quipped, "Its cheaper to learn how to do it right the first time, instead of paying to repair the damage to someone else's boat"
