Is wakeboarding hard?

Re: Is wakeboarding hard?

Kids pick it up pretty easily. My daughters and some of their friends got up after couple attempts. The more athletic and fearless ones picked it up faster. It won't be long until the sporting goods stores are having their end of season clearance sales so you should be able to pick a board up relatively cheaply.

Re: Is wakeboarding hard?

Last week I finally had a chance to go out on wakeboarding? I have a boat with a tower but no one wants to drive and pull me so I never had a chance to go out while I pulled many friends and kids for last few years?. I could not make my wife to drive my boat but she was willing to pull me with our 3 people Jet Ski? My wife had no clue to drive right for a wakeboarding but I managed to get up on 2nd try?. Once got up? I had no ideas what to do? no grip?. Nothing like skis?. Once I figure it out to where to put pressure and edge if was very fun??. I am a 48 years old man?. Still having Fun?
I can not wait for next time?.. Watching Video helps a lot? I must find someone to drive my boat and pull me....

Hey Sushi, I had the same problem when I was out with the GF and not my wakeboard buddies. I had her pull the tube first then the board. Now she loves it and does a good job. Where do you hang out in the Islands? Next week I will be up at Cranberry Lake for a week. We are a old timers wake crew at 45 plus. Hopfully you can get the wife to pull you.

Allzway-
Thats impressive that your daughter can switch so easily, that is my biggest problem. She makes it look easy. I'm not sure if she was trying to do that or not but she will have it made when she can control the board a little better.

She does it on purpose and taught herself, because she didn't want to cross the wake. She hasn't gotten that brave yet.
