@qwerty16529 yeah i do what you call a Pro Start, this is when you have the board under you in the water and you just angle it up so it just pops out of the water, this start looks cooler and is more stylish i guess
Thanks a lot for this tutorial! I tried for the first time this weekend to get up on a wakeboard. After being unsuccessful the first few times, I saw this video, gave it another shot and getting up was far easier!
thanks a bunch dude! i watched some other video on how to get up last week and couldnt so went home and watched this vid and got up second try today! and let me say this I LOVE WAKEBOARDING!
This is a really good video. After getting up a few weeks ago, this is exactly what my experience has shown me. I went too fast when standing up and always got pulled facesfirst into the water.
i've been trying to get up for about a month now and i've watched COUNTLESS youtube videos and tried every technique. Finally found this one, did exactly what you said, and i got up! Thanks alot, you're obviously the only person who knows how to teach people how to wakeboard :)
I tried wakeboarding for the first time weekend before last. Could not get up. After 15+ tries, I called it a day. Went home and watched this video and immediately knew what I was doing wrong. He explained it perfectly. Second attempt on the water I popped right up and stayed up. Great video. Gives a good explanation of the do's and don'ts.
This video helps you so much! I could get up 3 years ago and then i stopped and had to relearn. I couldnt get up forever and i got so upset, i got on my phone and watched this video and i got up the very next try. The thing that helped me most was letting the boat pull me up, not me pulling myself up... try it
just a bit of advice it helps wen u ski first cuz u get the idea of how it feels to be pulled across water. and then wen u wakeboard it helps for some reason i ant explain just do it lol
did excactly what this dude said and got up first try. I wasn't able to sit on the board as long as I wanted to though, if I didn't turn in and stand up I would lose the rope. But a very good explanation non the less.
The way my driver always got me out of the water was he just popped me out. Idling then real fast. Make sure there is little slack on the rope. If the rope keeps popping out of your hands and your hands hit the top of the wakeboard while trying to get up, simply raise the handle while trying to get up so if it does pop out, your hands won't hit the board
This works even if you have fins. The driver needs to start off slowly, if they go to fast, you will usually have the handle pop out of your hand. The boat pulls you up, don't try to pull yourself up.
@walde4 haha on the fourth i went to my cousins and i finally got up my second try for that day. and when i got up i rode around for like 5mins and was so soar i couldnt hold on, wake boarding takes to much energy
I have a question for any intermediate+ experienced wakeboarder, i do not have a tower but i have a ski pull, can i use the ski pull for this?? Question about my boat, yes it is fast enough and i know it is not all about speed when you are up...... please answer.
and it all depends on what kinda boat and what kinda engine you have in your boat bigger engines means it will pull you harder and you will have to do it faster smaller engine you will have to wait like he said
on this boat there seems to be a tower..what about boats without towers..the boat i use does NOT have a tower and it makes it a lot harder..the board always goes under water..and i get up off the dock,at cable all the time..
someone help me. my wakeboard has little fins on the board one on front and one on back both in the middle of the board... would it be easier to leave them on when learning to get up or take them off?
hmmm my way is way different....I get up like I'm slalom skiing, bottom of the board facing the boat, tip up knees closr to the chest and yell HIT IT BABY!!!!!!!!!
Wow, you take way to mush time when you are planing! what i do is just when the boat starts pulling you, pull back on the rope, and lean back and as soon as you feel pressure lean back and turn the board, you should try it, and tell me which one works better!
I need help!! When i try to get up i end up on my face being dragged by the boat... can anyone tell me what i am doin wrong. dont understand why i am falling face first when im leaning further back than i do when i ski
@bloomey1 i think its coz as soon as ur getting up, ur toes point downward(point upward before) and so it stops the water flowing via ur board and ur start falling to ur front side. try put more pressure on ur heels when ur getting up
I was trying for a week to get up on a wakeoard and after watching this video i got up on the third try! i highly recommend this technique to anyone who wants to get up!
i tryed exactly this and it keeps pullin me over the front or popping the the handel out im not fighting it or trying to stand up early could someone help me my boat dosent have a wakeboard tower could that be it
@zachman54sack I don't have a tower either and I'm quite new to waking but sitting/crouching together like you're hugging around your knees exactly like he does really does the trick tbh. What he says about digging in your heels and keeping your toes in is all that matters. Maybe your partner is giving too much speed. We usually just straight the line, get some tension (this is where I'm fully crouched on the board but still in the water) in the line and then start quite slow.
@zachman54sack i have a boat and it doesnt have the tower all i do is... as the boat idles you can hear it rev when it takes off turn the board right away so it pops you up over the water and than have fun
@DrPepperKid14 that might help some people but i found it a ton easier to get up when the boat accelerated faster, it just kinda popped me on top of the water.
@brandorf94 I think its easier for beginners to start slower, and work up to the boat gunning it, because that is much easier, but to get the motions down, going slow seems to help.
i whent wakeboarding today and everytime i tryed to get up i poped the handel every time. i just plow water for like 2 sec then fall... i cant even make a fist now... this is really fustrating someone please help im not trying to fight the boat.
This helps a lot. I just tries my first time wakeboarding today and I got up on like my 5th try lol. But the way I did it, was by slanting the board forward then just getting on top. This helps me more though thx.
I just tried wakeboarding today and got up first try! This is one of a few videos I watched to figure out how to get up and it really helped. Basically once you're getting pulled by the boat just stand up and turn the board. Worked perfect for me.
I helped my friends get up wakeboarding last year (about 5 of them). They couldn't get up for anything. After simply saying 'flex your abs and get your chest out of the water as best you can', they all got up.
I don't know if this will help any of you, I just thought I would say what worked for my friends.
Actually, I meant to say keep your neck out of the water and make sure you can see the boat (or jetski). Don't just relax your body, you must flex your abs or it will be very hard to get up.
I spent like 4 hours today trying to get up on my Board but it just seemed like i was getting drug thru the water and i was creating a plow effect. and i just didn't have the strength to hold on.I just have one question should i take the fins off my board ? ill still have small fins on the toe side and heel side front and back just not the 2 big center fins .I'm thinking now maybe its because of the fins why I'm having so much trouble any advice would be greatly appreciated

this is a great video. Yesterday I tried to get up 5 or 6 times and never could and became very frustrated. Watched this video and was able to get up my first time and haven't gone and not gotten up yet. AWESOME JOB
i just kinda started last year but not so good lol. i kept getting sucked under cause we all had no clue how to get on that shit. but your tips sound pretty good. so hopefully i wont swallow too much shit water this year. haha love love dudes!
Today was the first time that i really got into like water sports
i always used to biscuit and dougnut and stuff but i tried knee boarding and wake boarding today i got the hang of knee boarding straight away but i couldnt get up on the wake board hence why im watching this video
i was thinking that when i went wake boarding today for the first time i was like oh shit man im gonna not get up and make myself look like a fool and drown myself at the same time! nahh its not you just sorto have to float on your back
Any one got advice just send me info pleace live Orlando just moved down from NY i amdescent at snowboarding are hey the same techniques? I want to go to OWC when the water warms up.
defix9 is the biggest fucking retard (NO ONE LISTEN TO HIM)
if he listened the guy actually says; the boat will pull you up and you should then put all your weight on top of the board and keep your heels down and toes up which means he is implying to lean back,. stupid fck
btw everyone that says this is a shit vid doesnt know how to wakeboard and probs neva have so watch this and listen for 100% gurantee on how to get up..
hes right, you prettty much do nothing. but he is an idiot at the same time. you dont lean on top of your board! you will catch with your toeside and flip if you have never wakeboared before!!! you fkn lean back with your knees on your chest, the boat brings you up
The way i get up is weird, i start normally and as i get pulled, it starts to feel really unnatural and like im going to fall, but as soon as it starts to tug i literally just stand up and its easy...
there's a much easier way to get up than how he's saying to do it. As soon as u feel the tug from the boat turn the board sideways and let the boat pull u out. U'll be out of the water in literally 2 seconds.
this method is good even with center fins because they let you know when you can twist. And you guys are the one watching this video "how to get up on a wakeboard" so why watch this video if you already know how? I myself just like this guys videos and wanted to see if he did it a different way them me which he doesnt.
This method is crap. Most beginners aren't starting on a board with molded outer fins and they'll usually have 2.5" center fins and no other fins. That means that staying in a ball in impossable.
When you have those center fins you have to turn and stand at the same time. Too early and you flip over forwards, too late and the handle's gonna rip outta your hands.
for all those people who say you can't start slow, you can start slow, it's just harder on your body because you have to hold your position longer. I can pretty much start at any speed now and last year i couldn't even get up. when i was learning, i tried it like this, but now that i can get up easily, i just turn my board right from the start and whoever is driving the jetski just guns in, pulls me out in a second, up and out. it is different thouh getting towed behind a jetski rather than boat
Great Video! First time wakeboarding not so hot... Next time wakeboarding after watching this video took me two time to get up and ride! Thanks for the help!!
ok ive gotten up on a wake board befor but since then ive gotten a little heavier and i cant get up on it and more i have not tried this way yet but would it work for some one not 120-130lbs (im 195) will this still work?
it's very simple... when u feel the resistence, just push the board to the front, and asif ur sitting on the floor, and someone is pulling u up.. and when ur up... hold the handle with one hand ... i find it easier
i just need to know how to drive a wakeboarder, im used to driving skiers so do i go from 0-30 in a short burst or or do i pull them up slowly NEED HELPPPPP
quick burst to get them up and then don't floor it up to 25-30 but gradually get there, with my dads ar230 i think he floors it 0-20/25ish and the gradually increases from there if i need it..
when I tow someone I take any slack out, then I give it power fairly fast, but in a gradular way. You don't need full throttle it like a skier. If you know what your doing for getting up on a wakeboard you can get up almost at any acceleration unless of course you have a very powerful boat, then it will probably rip the handle from your hands.
I don't know how much you want to tell people to stay planeing out like that. Especially if they have some big fins on. I generally tell people to act like your getting up from a squat, but simotanously turn the board. I don't know if thats the best way, but I could see alot of people catching their toe edge doing it the way shown in this video.
i got a wakeboard a while ago and i couldnt get up at all, i guess i was fighting the rope, instead of letting the boat pull me up! im going 2 the lake in less than an hour and hopefull ill get up 2day!
I had tried wakeboarding 3 different times before seeing this video. I am 29 and have never tried any water sports. After watching this video a few times I went out and got up my first time and 5 times after that! Great video and thanks! Now to learn to stay up for awhile...lol
great info but not all lakes are glassy like this so plaining like that might not work if not just point the board at the boat and stay in the ball :)
I just got a wakeboard for my 15th birthday, tomorrow im going to go try it out, this video, and all your other video's have informed me alot about wakeboarding. hopefully tomorrow i will do good. thank you!!!
have tried and failed to get up,got hurt the first time and that kept me from trying for 2 years .studied this vid alot,went to the lake this morning and popped up the very first time and every time their after. at 49 yrs old and new to boating,Im no longer the D D...Thanks
I pull my tubers, boarders and skiers using my transom eyelets, NOT my tower (when they are beginners). they claim it is much easier. Also, if your board has a middle fin, dont start the way this guy is saying. you will face plant every time.
I spent all day trying to get up with no success, then watched this video and got up first time and every time after that. Thanks a bunch

I spent like 4 hours today trying to get up on my Board but it just seemed like i was getting drug thru the water and i was creating a plow effect. and i just didn't have the strength to hold on.I just have one question should i take the fins off my board ? ill still have small fins on the toe side and heel side front and back just not the 2 big center fins .I'm thinking now maybe its because of the fins why I'm having so much trouble any advice would be greatly appreciated.great video btw

this is a great video. Yesterday I tried to get up 5 or 6 times and never could and became very frustrated. Watched this video and was able to get up my first time and haven't gone and not gotten up yet. AWESOME JOB

well its kinda weird how people are saying his method doesn't work when obviously in the vid he gets up smoothly without fallin all over the place

defix9 is the biggest fucking retard (NO ONE LISTEN TO HIM)
if he listened the guy actually says; the boat will pull you up and you should then put all your weight on top of the board and keep your heels down and toes up which means he is implying to lean back,. stupid fck
btw everyone that says this is a shit vid doesnt know how to wakeboard and probs neva have so watch this and listen for 100% gurantee on how to get up..
joshsingle 2 years ago
hes right, you prettty much do nothing. but he is an idiot at the same time. you dont lean on top of your board! you will catch with your toeside and flip if you have never wakeboared before!!! you fkn lean back with your knees on your chest, the boat brings you up

The way i get up is weird, i start normally and as i get pulled, it starts to feel really unnatural and like im going to fall, but as soon as it starts to tug i literally just stand up and its easy...
BenIsL33t 2 years ago
yep i tried his way... fail! then i decided to just try to stand up and got it right away.
SL0WTHUMBS 2 years ago
I know right, i think people try and look into it too much when really you should just stand up when it feels natural.
BenIsL33t 2 years ago
there's a much easier way to get up than how he's saying to do it. As soon as u feel the tug from the boat turn the board sideways and let the boat pull u out. U'll be out of the water in literally 2 seconds.

MrBonkBonkBonk 2 years ago
this method is good even with center fins because they let you know when you can twist. And you guys are the one watching this video "how to get up on a wakeboard" so why watch this video if you already know how? I myself just like this guys videos and wanted to see if he did it a different way them me which he doesnt.
morleyrox 2 years ago
this positon its the hardes specially with boards with center fins, i tried this method and is harder than your normal up and twist
ultramaxracing05 2 years ago
This method is crap. Most beginners aren't starting on a board with molded outer fins and they'll usually have 2.5" center fins and no other fins. That means that staying in a ball in impossable.
When you have those center fins you have to turn and stand at the same time. Too early and you flip over forwards, too late and the handle's gonna rip outta your hands.

Is it possible as a beginner to be able to get up behind a jet ski?

Yes it is as a matter of fact i did it today cause I'm starting to learn how and its really fun once you get up on it.

Absolutely, I just got a wakeboard and haven't even been behind a boat yet and got up behind the jet ski
NickslashDave 2 years ago
for all those people who say you can't start slow, you can start slow, it's just harder on your body because you have to hold your position longer. I can pretty much start at any speed now and last year i couldn't even get up. when i was learning, i tried it like this, but now that i can get up easily, i just turn my board right from the start and whoever is driving the jetski just guns in, pulls me out in a second, up and out. it is different thouh getting towed behind a jetski rather than boat

and i notice your board does not float will the float make it harder or easier?
bigfoot321 2 years ago
ok ive gotten up on a wake board befor but since then ive gotten a little heavier and i cant get up on it and more i have not tried this way yet but would it work for some one not 120-130lbs (im 195) will this still work?
bigfoot321 2 years ago
Yeah i'm right at 200lbs and it works great
wildtwins87 2 years ago
it's very simple... when u feel the resistence, just push the board to the front, and asif ur sitting on the floor, and someone is pulling u up.. and when ur up... hold the handle with one hand ... i find it easier

i just need to know how to drive a wakeboarder, im used to driving skiers so do i go from 0-30 in a short burst or or do i pull them up slowly NEED HELPPPPP
djil8 2 years ago
quick burst to get them up and then don't floor it up to 25-30 but gradually get there, with my dads ar230 i think he floors it 0-20/25ish and the gradually increases from there if i need it..
Kairingo 2 years ago
when I tow someone I take any slack out, then I give it power fairly fast, but in a gradular way. You don't need full throttle it like a skier. If you know what your doing for getting up on a wakeboard you can get up almost at any acceleration unless of course you have a very powerful boat, then it will probably rip the handle from your hands.

Fnkystyley89 2 years ago
I don't know how much you want to tell people to stay planeing out like that. Especially if they have some big fins on. I generally tell people to act like your getting up from a squat, but simotanously turn the board. I don't know if thats the best way, but I could see alot of people catching their toe edge doing it the way shown in this video.

it's a matter of preference
BroadcastDonnie 2 years ago
I think your right, he is using a board that has no fins, if your ass is out of the water, you should get into riding position.

I had tried wakeboarding 3 different times before seeing this video. I am 29 and have never tried any water sports. After watching this video a few times I went out and got up my first time and 5 times after that! Great video and thanks! Now to learn to stay up for awhile...lol

great info but not all lakes are glassy like this so plaining like that might not work if not just point the board at the boat and stay in the ball :)

bluedyeguy1998 2 years ago
I pull my tubers, boarders and skiers using my transom eyelets, NOT my tower (when they are beginners). they claim it is much easier. Also, if your board has a middle fin, dont start the way this guy is saying. you will face plant every time.
