Skiing in chop and swell is no mean feat, especially for 22m. Good effort.

Just watched the online video and the RIB was running with a 225 outboard and radar is clear. Surprised to see the tow harness on the transom low down as this makes it harder for a skier as rope catches the swell, I would have thought she would tow off a high tow stantion so rope clears the engine and keeps tow line out of water. I havent been ski ing for ages but strikes me she did a great job. They are to show some on The One Show on BBC1 at 7pm

A high tow point can be snatchy in ruff seas for an inexperienced skier, as the bow of the boat rises and falls in the swell.

Hell of an achievement though - well done to the girl.
