Default Slack line with water

- The slight bank towards the towplane is the most crucial part of the
maneuver. If you bank away from the towplane, you're like a kite and
will slingshot. I really recommend testing this: watch slack come out
with 10 degress bank toward vs. away from the towplane. The difference
is amazing.

That's a really excellent point. Probably, experienced pilots do this
whether we realize it or not. I've never read it or heard it
discussed though. Good'on'ya'.
