Is wakeboarding really hard to learn? Does it take long to become good @ it?

Question

i wanna try wakeboarding but i dont wanna kill myself trying.

Answer 1

It is easy; just keep your weight back and keep your arms lose with the rope near your hip. Learn to be able to cut real good before you do tricks because you need to cut real fast to jump and be able to keep your balance once you land.

Answer 2

It's pretty easy to learn but hard to master. The trick is to get up once your up just try to keep your balance and look ahead not down while leaning back slightly.

Answer 3

Wakeboarding is like any other sport.  It is only difficult if you make it that way.  With practice and guts, anything can be achieved.  And dont believe the Hype on all the equipment.  Big expensive boats and gear are not a necessity.   They can help make things easier, but the guys who just go out and ride all the time usually are better than the guys with the expensive toys

Answer 4

I got up on a wakeboard my 3rd time of trying, but only for like 3 seconds.

Wakeboarding is a perfect example of "practice makes perfect"

cuz i was seriously getting better every time.

Answer 5
