Question

Is wakeboarding really as hard as people say it is?

Answer 1

If you can snowbaord you can wakeboard. The hard part is to get up from the lying in water to standing on the board the rest is easy. Been wakeboarding and waterskiing for the last 12 years

Answer 2

In all honesty, it depends on the person weight that is going to wakeboard and the horsepower of the boat pulling them.

it is all about momentum!!

Answer 3

no its really easy. you can get  up really easily

all you do basically is if you are left foot foward you put your left foot forward and vice versa

then you stick your bump out to go left if left foot foward or right if right foot forward.

when you cross the wash you just flex your knees and keep going

after you have tried a few times you will buld confidence

Good luck xx

Answer 4

I don't know about anybody else, but I think wakeboarding is easier than water skiing.  The tricks can be pretty hard to do, but the basics aren't that difficult and that makes it easier to learn.
