Question

How do you jump the wake in wake boarding? without falling.....?

Answer 1

Practice, practice, practice and then practice some more.

Answer 2

Just keep trying, you'll get it eventually.   If that doesn't work, here are a few things to try...

1) make sure to lean back and land with the board tip up and out of the water.

2) go across the wake pretty fast, this way you'll keep gliding instead of just sinking when you land

3) try being towed at different speeds, different people are more comfortable on the board at different speeds

4) try taking off the fins, if you are still using them; they might be messing you up.

Hope some of this helps.   Good Luck.

Hi, The most important thing is to try to keep your balance, and dont be scared, get outside the boat as far as possible and get your speed up before you cross the wake, remember to lean back a bit, let the wake lift you, try to land on the edge of the second wake,,have fun, takes a lot of practice,dont give up,,also make sure the boat pilot is not going to fast until you get the habg of it,,hope this helps
