Getting up on a Wakeboard

[VSHanaSurf]

Okay the wakeboard was really cute, where did you get it? and how much did it cost? and i'm a beginner so what kind of a wake board is cheapish but easy to get up on? Girl 15 yrs old 5"7'

[coolbama3]

i dont get up that way that they showed

[dalemitchener]

A note for the drivers.. PLEASE throttle up gently.... I have had my arms almost ripped off by inexperienced drivers that want to accelerate hard in the same way you pull a skier out of the water..

[Mysticcr4ft]

Maybe Sexy legs Not Sexy face!

[iConviicted]

what do you do if the wake board has big fins? and you cant slide on the top of the water?

[dalemitchener]

@iConviicted - As the board starts to come out of the water, rotate the board slightly into your riding position. The pull of the boat will help complete the turn and you will come up in the riding position.. I always do it that way as I still don't like the sliding position.

[crf450ish]

it took me 15 tries to get up my first time. I'm sorry but a "baseball" grip worked for me and leaning back while getting up is the key.

[mxracer463]

great vid i got up in 4 try's

[maddie5934]

Also if you keep your toes pointed to the boat you get up allot faster an easier! :D

[dalemitchener]

@maddie5934 - Yes, point your toes toward the boat and angle the board to help it come out of the water...

[gopher3737]

great video, this is exactly how to wakeboard. Didn't know about having the arms being around you knees before you start.  I got up on my 2nd try and while I was up for a while, I couldn't turn right at all, haha

[ammarbammar]

dude do u have a website or an e mail , where is ur school and how can i book ?

[chadisbad6]

kk, just point your hands at the tower let it pull u up and turn real simple..

[sk8r2580]

sexy stomach

[SuperbikeCoach]

i was trying to get up without a tower. won't work! is there a way or do i need a tower?

[baums5808]

@SuperbikeCoach its going to be really difficult to try learning to get up without a tower! For the simple reason of having the rope connected to the boat higher in the air. It will pull you UPwards instead of the forward pulling motion that happens when just connected to the back of the boat.

[DNOVideoGuy]

I was trying to wake board yesterday, got up a few times.. but still struggled with it. I was having the problem with the force of the handle being stripped of me so I would try and compensate for not losing grip and end up face planting. ALSO> The main thing was I must of been doing something wrong cause my hands are blistered up bad while wearing gloves too. Was I doing something wrong?

[Bradn0d]

@BoardFlipper5150 thxs for the tips

[Bradn0d]

ive been having some trouble getting up, it either seems like theres so much drag in the water that the rope is pulled out of my hands or whenever i start to get up the board goes under the water and i do a faceplant. any tips would be helpful and also i noticed the arms around the knees where i have my arms between my knees, what does that do with getting up? please help i really want to learn how to wakeboard

[MrTonybrinks]

fuck off mormon

[ba77ar90]

2:50, did he seriously just kick that girl out of the boat

[callofdutykid44]

@NUMBERoneCANIC lol same here lol he guns it to 60 then let's of to 30

[drummerbaby5]

can some one please answer this question for me. so i got a new wakeboard and my boots arents loose but they are longer than my feet itsaid 1 size fits all do i need different boots or can i stick to the 1 size fits all?

[JolleUnit]

Way better than expertvillage, way to do it!

[NUMBERoneCANIAC]

Any tips for how fast the driver should accelerate? My friends dad kinda just guns it, haha

[jj9345]

@NUMBERoneCANIAC 2 - 3 mph then go to like 5 - 10 and you should be up. then go fast lol.

[chrissym111]

@NUMBERoneCANIAC yeah you only need to go around 23-28 mph depending on how big the person is that you are pulling. you can gun it, but then you have to remember to ease up once you start to approach your target speed. hope that helps!

[NUMBERoneCANIAC]

@chrissym111 Thanks! I went with a friend to some demo that harley clifford was gonna be at, demoed a bigger board, and got up on my second try! turns out my friend's board was just too small for me

[bfmv200100]

the baseball grip helps plus all is wrong plus u missed some part i know i wake board and im a begginner and i did wat u said not to do and i can get up fin plus it all happen in one our first time

[VoLcaMaTic]

people with tower's are cheaters..you could get up backwards and sit on the board..

[24kobepwns24]

Thanks for the vid, hoping to take my sons this summer and learn.

[Mw2Glitcherr]

sexy legs.

[jpglew]

very nice, but you forgot to mention that you need to put weight on your rear leg to turn you when the boat starts to pull. but apart from that very nice and very detailed

[dannyrocks777]

word of advice for EVERYONE that wake boards.- NEVER tighten your board on to tight that you cant pull it off without loosening it. when you fall with the wakeboard if NEEDS to fall off your feet. If, in fact, the wakeboard does not fall off: the energy is redirected and will crush your bones. So WATCH OUT.

[MrOscar94]

The left side of My back hurst when i am up and riding

My left foot is My back foot so My back hurts that side

idk why maybe My body position is not good

pls let me know what could be wrong

i'll post a video so you can see it and tell me what could be wrong.

[jessneurismfarmer]

@MrOscar94

Why do you capitalize the M in My?

[AFAM900]

@jessneurismfarmer

Because he started a new sentence...

[jessneurismfarmer]

@AFAM900

I was talking about the part where he said 'left side of My back hurts'

[Davidbzm01]

oh goody. commercials. i wont watch this video.

[touchdown357]

@Davidbzm01 but you took the time to comment...

[Davidbzm01]

@touchdown357 ..Yes to convey my hatred for commercials.. they'll be broadcasting them right into your brain someday.. 

[calrider83]

nice legs ;p

and the guy sounds like Steve-O

thx for the vid(s)

[alextacular]

because if you use baseball grip you are using most of your fore arm not your bicep and pecs

[zanex361]

why wouldnt you want to use baseball grip?

[TimDeKill]

thanks for the hind!!

Got up with the first try!!

[stuntboy1231000]

nice

[skatebanana24]

This video is the best video for wakeboarding. i got up on my third try using this technique.

[guitarobsessed85]

This did not help me hahaha. I tried but I just need something more specific. Here's what happens: I start to come up and then the handle rips out of my hands, everytime. I can't twist the board for some reason

[pivotanimatorjoe]

@guitarobsessed85 Try to hold on tighter. If your desperate tape your hands to the Handle

[guitarobsessed85]

@pivotanimatorjoe Oh I can hold on tight enough but if I keep holding on I just plow the water.

[iam0wnage3]

@guitarobsessed85 hmm..well i angle my board forward a bit so the top edge is kinda pointing towards the boat instead of having the board straight up and down.

[dampsandwich]

@guitarobsessed85 I tried for my first time today and I messed up the first like 5 times but I found out that having your arms inside your legs is easier for me, not on the outside. If you don't like that, just remember to hold on as hard as you can and Keep your knees all the way bent! If they're not, you will fall.

[Frozenforever18]

so question. For my first time wakeboarding what do i need? Cause i dont want to go spend hundreds of dollars buying a wakeboard and boost and bindings when i havent even learned how to do it yet. So can i just use my boyfriends stuff? Or is the size of everything going to throw me off?

[tuerameau123]

i was more itrested in the chick then the actuall lesone



[12HBK]

thanks dude that sounds like stevo

[blacklottus]

@12HBK hahahha you´re right

[Ocon23nor]

Was that her first time? and I use baseball grip it works for ne

[MrOscar94]

can you do this with a 40 hrps boat ?

[jtschid0910]

@MrOscar94 depends on how heavy you are, if you are a normal weight person probally not. if you are like 20lbs you could give it a try

[stoichiometric]

probably

[bmxjoe12]

@MrOscar94 yeah if your a small person i weigh about 150 and ride a 90hrsp

[Jam818]

Does length of rope make any difference on getting up out of the water ? I have been told that a shorter rope makes it easier to get up.

[weakwork]

mm cool.
