This concept let the developers really open up sections of the level to all sorts of wild alternate paths, because you no longer have to remain right behind the boat, which follows a preset path through each area. However, your speed rapidly decreases when you aren't being pulled by the boat's powerful motor, so the basic idea is to let go of the boat, do a bunch of really wild tricks, and then hope that you're still close enough to the boat to call for the rope to be tossed to you.
