Ok so I can now get up on the wakeboard, but how do I start to go over the wake.?

Question

How do I keep the board under control?

Answer 1

keep the handle at hip level. to turn put pressure on your toes to go toe side. put pressure on your heels to go heel side. try to put the board on edge while pressuring it. weight distribution should be 60% back foot / 40 % front foot. when you get to the wake, ideally, the board should still be on edge. (to catch air) it's pretty normal for the rider to flatten the board out upon crossing the wake. a little practice and you can keep edging through to get air. a board reacts better on edge. a flat board will feel squirrely. don't put too much weight on the front or a digger is in your future.  GOOD LUCK!

Answer 2

Start out on your knees.

Answer 3

Ride with about 70 percent of your wieght on your back foot in a relaxed position. If you want to go right, lean a little on your toes. If you want to go left, lean on your heels. Just ride around a little to get used to the new sport.

Answer 4

basically it is more or less like attempting to stand up on your tiptoes or going on your heels. Just lean forward a bit to go toeside outside the wake, backwards for heelside out of the wake.
