   I ski and board although I like wakeboarding better. I really dont see that much of a simalrty.
   
   1. You going sideways, very different feel from the skis.
   
   2. Your going alot slower (to make a bigger wake)
   
   3. I think that its easier to get up and get going.
   
   4. You do lots of face plants =D.

   It's quite similar to single skiing, the rope control is the same but it is much harder to control the board as you cross over the wake...just remember keep the handle close to the hip closest to the boat

   I learned to ski before i learned to wakeboard, and i could also ski with one before i learned to wakeboard. But the feel is completely different.
   
   I wake board alot. It is a little like water skiing but there are somethings different.
   
   When you do a deep water start you want to have your hands and the rope in front of your knees (vs. having them close to your chest) and from there its all about balance.
   
   Also the driver needs to use a slower speed.
   
   Hope this helps!
