[kitekenya]

[marloy666]

i find it to keep your arms as stragt as you can for beginners

[svs1294]

whenever i go to the right of the wake i lose control and fall any tips

[bpross14]

depends if your reguler or goofy, i'm assuming your reguler...so it sounds like your just leaning too much on your front foot,

[svs1294]

thanks dude ur a life saver!!!

[brettman123]

this video is awful...

"behind the boat theres usually going to be a wake" i don't know how you'd go wakeboarding without a wake exactly... and i don't know of a boat that can pull a wakeboarder that doesn't create a wake

[matthemormon]

its called towing you retard lol theres places where the rope goes aroung n you get it and just ride liek a park and theres no boat.... sooo youre dumb

[brettman123]

wait, you mean a CABLE PARK? too bad i've already been to the OWC, theres also WINCHING dumbass

however the person in the video was talking specifically about the boat wake

you are retardeddddd

[StreetGroms]

hes forgetting the most important thing, LEAN BACK! it took me a couple of faceplants to figure out!

[chenchomelo]

I'd recommend keeping the handle as close as possible to your hip. This will force your back to bend back... that, or you will surely fall. Keeping your handle at hip level will also help further ahead when you want to gain speed in order to enter the wake. Good luck!

[snowboarding4life0]

what kind of wakeboard bindings are those they have a kool style and im a beginner to any tips ???? ['.']

[fishybb]

cool...im a beginner wakeboarder..i can get up and all but im not sure how to stand like to have my back bent a litlle or leanning back....my lower back hurts sometimes probalbly cause im standing wrong....any tips?? thanks mate

[gramke]

this would mean you have a bad back. :|

[BuyUSAsEthanolKilOil]

when most people start they keep pushing against the water even after they are already up. it might be because you are leaning back too far. remember you are sliding on top of the water once you are up... not pushing against it. gramke is right to... it takes time to develope back muscles...work out your back... also try pushing your hips forward

[1nsan1ty69]
