How to Wakeboard?

Question

Need tips on ow to get out of the water

Answer 1

I was having a lot of trouble with this a few years ago when I started and I found that the most important thing is your starting position.   If you have experience with water skiing, the stance is pretty similar.   You want to sit back in the water as if you are in a rocking chair with the board floating in front of you and the rope straight in front too.    Then you just need to let the boat pull you up while you keep leaning back with your knees bent.   Eventually you will just kind of pop up.   Some other tips are...

1) Try taking off the fins (this gives you more agility as they wont try and turn the board in some way you don't want to go) or having just one fin in the back (so that the board turns towards the back of the boat when you get going).

2) Try different speeds on the boat; if you are really light you can try going really slow as the board will float anyway, if not you might want to try taking off faster so that you don't pop up then immediately sink.

3) Just keep trying, you'll do it eventually.
