Biggd, what would you say is the minimum depth you'd have your ski running? Most of what I've found is 3', but I'm not sure I'll have that in the best launch scenario.

I think you're safe in 2 feet.

Yeah, I was watching that video Dan posted above, and it looks like the 3' may be from the waterline as opposed to the bottom of the ski.

When I'm taking off from my beach I usually go in up to my knees and push off from the back into deeper water, then hop on the back before starting it. If it doesn't start for some reason you're going swimming.
I have a dock so I can get on it without getting wet but I never go on it expecting to stay completely dry.
