Getting up on a wakeboard can be tricky as it has to be in sync with the movement of the boat. If one tries to hurry, it will result in failure. Timing is very crucial. Patience is the key with the timing being right as one learns wakeboarding. Let’s start at the beginning. First of all, you need to make sure that your feet are secured to the wakeboard which you shall complete by taking the handles of the rope in your hand. Then they must take the handle of the rope. You are just holding it in your hands to be connected to the boat.
Once you have done the above, you need to back into the water and wait for the boat to begin – this is the first initial yet important position as the boat will begin to move. You have your wakeboard on, you have the rope handle in your hands and you are lying back in the water while waiting for the boat to begin moving. At this point the wakeboard’s position is parallel to the rear of the boat. Your feet are in the upward direction while the wakeboard is just at the edge of the water.
Just lie there and relax. As the boat pulls you, your body with will be pulled out from the water and onto the wakeboard. The boat’s gentle pull will bring your body from the water onto the wakeboard so that you are now no longer in the water but squatting on the wakeboard with your toes resting firmly on the wakeboard. You must balance your body along with the movement and the tempo of the boat. Once you are comfortable with the movement, gently rise up. Now you need to balance your body with the tempo and the movement of the boat. Once you have gained confidence, you can straighten yourself in a manner in which you turn your hip in a manner which will bring one foot ahead of the other and tilt the wakeboard in a position which is parallel to the rear of the boat.
When you rise make sure that you are able to turn your hip in a manner which will cause the wakeboard to get into a straight line, directly in sync with the boat than its earlier position. Now you are in the standing position. This means that one of your feet is in front of another. The rope handle you are holding should be resting at your hip.
Your hands holding the rope is resting it against your front hip while you surge ahead following the boat.
