I do have some old chairs, a disk, and a tinny with 8 HP. I normally start on the disk kneeling and then stand. Do you do the same while holding onto a chair?
Yes, I lay on the disk until it starts to plow and then kneel on the disk with the chair or ladder over my left shoulder while hanging onto the handle and the disk with the other hand until it planes out. Then stand up on the disk, place the chair (the old wood style with the 4 wooden legs work the best) on the disc and then stand up on the chair or ladder. There is a trick to the ladder that as you go up the steps you have to turn sideways a bit to distribute the weight evenly. As you climb the ladder your weight moves forward and the disk will submarine
..... Just takes some practice.
We tried to ski on a paddle last summer.....that is tough.
We just dock start standing on the disc with chair in hand.
On the paddle we use to just get up using the paddle as the second ski and once up drop the ski
