The answer is simple...there is no place. It is not discussed in the boater safety education course, and as far as I know, it is not discussed anywhere else. So how do they learn? Experience, and from the experiences of others who have been educated. That's how I learned.

There are many, many sources of this information if someone cares to look. There are countless videos on youtube and the like on how to properly launch and retrieve. There are many websites with information on learning this craft. There are also numerous books, a few of which I own. Of course, there are also companies out there selling their expertise to make boating more enjoyable. Then there are the compulsory safety courses. Oh, and the signs that say no powerloading.
I think it safe to safe that there are numerous sources of education if someone wants to learn.
