Is wake boarding hard?

Question

I wanna do it but im scared i'll get an etima or something.

Answer 1

Its not that hard if you don't do tricks on it. You also need good balance.....

Answer 2

It really all depends on the person, balance, how athletic you are, what other sports you do, how easily you adapt, weight can effect it, and also your boat driver. I got up on literally my first try, but one of my friends didn't manage to get up at all (I did have a lot more experience with this kind of thing) so it really varies from person to person. Make sure your driver is going slowly and you have someone to teach you, and you will be fine. I highly doubt you will get injured though so I definetely reccomend at least trying it.

Answer 3

yes its hard but its a lot of fun. you have to use lots of balance

Answer 4

If you've waterski'ed before, then you can board.  The board will actually want to plane out on the water since the surface area is greater than a set of skis or a slalom ski.  Once you figure it out, getting up on a wakeboard is much easier than anything else there is. Tricks is another thing, but getting up and riding isn't too hard at all.

Answer 5

don't wakeboard in just a bikini wear at least boardshorts and better yet a spring suit (short sleaved wetsuit). Wakeboarding is freaking awesome just buck up and give it s shot. It's not hard so long as you have the right technique it helps to have somebody who knows what they r doing to teach you.

Answer 6

It depends on how much experience you have in other water sports/board sports.  It varies person to person, some people pick it up really quickly and other people have more trouble learning.

Answer 7

if you've tried snowboard or skateboard, they all share things in common.....but yes, balance is most important
