I have to do it by myself every time, and while recovering PWC I drop a light anchor with 5m rope at the back of the PWC, into the sand to help the PWC remaining in the correct direction while I winch it by hand. It works like dragging a weight in order to replace a 2nd person to assist you.

I agree with your method, plus beaching a ski causes the "wear ring" to wear out sooner and is more trouble than its worth as well as other wear and tear... time taken is money saved.

In the UK, you need to get a license to launch on a lot of waters. But something they taught us when launching on a beach, was to carry a tow bar or tow ropes. Strap them to your trailer and then you can pull them from the dry sand an extra 4-5m further up. Massively cuts the risk of sinking your car tyres in the sand

Your tips are awesome man, very relevant to our Australian conditions as well. Just got a FX Cruiser and seeing you actually do stuff is really helpful. Might leave this one for a bit longer lol, but still inspirational

I stood there with a line for about 15 min and pulled the ski up further and further with the waves until I was fairly sure it was out far enough not to get washed around as I'm retrieving it. There's always that one set that will wash up further than the rest

Thanks for the video.....I might just stick to calmer launching sites....I could see me bogged in my baby SUV

Did you coat the hull with something so the sand doesn't destroy the bottom of the ski? If so, what are you using?

Hey no we haven’t, however we don’t do this every week. But you are certainly right, it does damage your ski over time.

Is the process of recovery the same if your trailer does not have rollers?

Yea mate but if your trailer has carpet skids then spray it down with Tyre shine whilst the ski is off the trailer, makes them much slipperier and easier to wind up.

I found having a beach launch 3rd wheel at front helps also

I would add two "assist wheels" at the rear, I'm adding these to my trailer soon.
