.

With deep treads on the fronts, you should back in. Nobody usually does, but you should so you don't drag water to the line. If you do back in, go back slowly into the water, and come back out a couple of inchs. Stop out of the water, but where it's still wet. We just had a thread on this & most guys that have been around, burnout starting in 2nd it sounded like. That's what I was taught. Have fun, be safe.
