What is the easiest way to get up on a wakeskate..?

Question

I can wakeboard but am trying out wakeskating tomorrow and need some tips..

Answer 1

If you still need info since this is a couple days old already, the way I start is with the board parallel with the back of the boat.  My feet resting on the deck with the back edge a little in the water with the leading edge a little out.  Once the boat starts to pull, you will have the resistance to then push against the pull of the boat just like you do wakeboarding and you should easily get up from there.  If the boat does not have the power to yank you right up, you may have to brute force your way up until the boat reaches plane.  sometimes when being pulled behind a Seadoo, it takes a bit of effort to pull yourself up.  My boat however can pop a rider right out of the water.
