lean the ski on the exhaust side, put your right foot in the tray, gas it.

reach up with your left hand and grab the bars, put your right foot in the left corner or middle of the tray. step and push down with your foot while throttling, and get the ski to hook up(suck in water so the back end sinks. Then throttle it out of the hole straight or while steering right to lift you up. I like to lean back a lot and exit straight, rather than try to take off with the ski sideways.
Maybe someone has a video that would make it easier to see the motions.

Only way I load now. Spend an hour at a lake working on it and you will be good to go.

Trim helps to initially get the ski under you.

I think what is important besides where to put your foot is where to point your bars.....

Load from the left
Put your right foot in right foothold
Crank bars to right
Start it
Gas it
Ski will come under you

I think direction of steering is most important. Point the steering so it pushes the rear of the ski under you if that makes sense. So if the ski is leaning on the left, turn right and gas it. This should push the rear of the ski under you and upright it all at the same time. That's how I do it on stand ups and blasters. I usually don't worry about hand or foot placement. Give it a few tries and you will get it all figured out.

My wife thinks side mounting is something totally different than what you are talking about!
