wakeboarding!
i went wakeboarding 4 times today and i only
got up one time for half a second. i just really
have problems with getting up and i keep practicing
but its soo hard. for people who wakeboard.. what
techniques help you to get up? like should i let
the boat pull me up or what?
i just need everything that you do that helps you
get up on a wakeboard. because whenever i start
to get up i feel like i can't stand up and i fall.
ugh =/

if you've ever skiied or like kneeboarded or anything, then you know how to let the boat pull you up. on a wakeboard, basically you chill out in the water until the boat starts going. put the wakeboard under your butt (like you would with skis) and make sure you bend your knees! never lock your knees or you'll lose control. then, just let the boat pull you up. i've watched a lot of good wakeboarders do this, and sometimes it takes them a while. but that's okay as long as you don't try to get up too fast and then end up getting hurt. once the boat pulls you up (you'll pretty much be almost standing straight up in the water) turn to the side and off you go! if it's just problems getting up, that should solve it. make sure that when you're wakeboarding that you're distributing your weight properly. don't put all your weight on one foot, spread the weight out. if you've ever seen anybody slalom (ski with one ski) it looks like they're putting a lot of weight on one foot, but that's not the best idea when wakeboarding. you'll get it if you keep trying :) good luck!

well its normal to fall the first time you try it...but you need to let the boat pull you even if you drag for the first few second and you need to bend your knees and keep your arms straight and once your like almost fully up you turn your board depending if your goofy or regular
