[steezerampage]

Give me some tips please only boarder once before 2 years ago

keep your knees bent when your getting up. wear a life jacket

knees bent back straight, keep handle at crotch, dont lean back stay forward, have fun.

lean back but not too far, pull the boat to you and bring you forward foot forward once the boat gets going

 

[comeatmebro]

no you dont wanna pull at all. let the boat do all the work getting up, you can slide sideways like that forever knees 45 degree angle let the boat pull you totally up then slide your board.

I've never been wakeboarding, but I can't imagine leaning forward would help at all (in getting up outta the water).

 

[comeatmebro]

i was talking about once he is out of the water and standing. people lean back too far and cant control their board so you have to try to lean forward. but no it doesnt help when trying to get up lol.

 

[fourhundred]

right, leaning forward is the worst habit in getting up

 

[bitchassphatz]

lean forward and hold on to the rope as long as possible. if you've face planted you can totally bring it back around and the people on the boat will think you're a pussy if you let go.

It's unreal how much easier it is to get up if you try and come out of the water with the board in a semi-forward stance. I tried 5 times to get up with the board perpendicular to the rope, then I just turned it parallel and popped up my first try.

its not really that hard, just try a few times and you get the hang of it. Its weird at first but its super easy after you do it the first time or two
