I have a tip aswell, I felt when I was starting wakeboarding that keeping the handle lower to waist hight helps so that your upper body don't get pulled forward as much = better stability :)

Yesss!!! I got up! I’m 12 and have always knee boarded I just discovered wake boarding and wow, it’s AWESOME!!

Thank you, it was my first time waking boarding today. I watched your video last night. I was able to use your technique today to get up on the first try.

I’ve surfed for quite some time so I hope my experience correlates well to wakeboarding, watching all these tutorial videos as I’m driving down to the shore to have my first sesh lol. Great vid thank you.

I would like to see another JB/Graeme Circus Tricks video. The one you did before was really fun to watch.

[sniffelsmcaferty]

thanks for teaching me, my first time wakeboarding and on my second attempt nailed it

I tried it for the first time this weekend and could not get up. So now coming to this video for the next time I try. My boat driver was slamming acceleration and just throwing me under and I couldn't figure it out. Good to know I can blame the driver :)

I have a tip that might help some people, idk. Something that helped me get up when learning to wakeboard was keeping my eyes on the back of the boat instead of looking down at the board.

Tips: If you know how to get up on a wakesurf board, it is way easier. Sit in a natural position (the way the body sits when you have the board on your feet) . This is how I got up on my first try. Also you don’t need a wake boat or tower.

[andrewmarsman]

Nice work. It helps the rope is angled upwards away from you too. I find it much more difficult if the rope is completely horizontal. The handle actually “lifts” you up if angled. Also I found out I wakeboard goofy. Much easier for me :)

Great video, I’m a snowboarder of 5 years and am trying out wake boarding for the first time this weekend. How close of a transition would it be from snow to water?

[leecambsuk]

Definitely do a driving tutorial. I recently went on holiday at the coast and wanted to wakesurf which they could not provide on the day but offered me wakeboarding as an alternative. No ski or wake boat, ended up behind a RIB with a broken ski pylon and was handed a junior board being I'm a 100kg adult. Needless to say the driver failed to bring a reasonable board and was intent on nailing the throttle every time so I was unable to water start. Really sucked as ended up knee boarding in the end...

Very well explained mate! 👍🏻 these are the exact instructions I was taught when I learnt to waterski that applies to wake boarding too almost 33 years ago. 🙂👍🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻✌🏻 shit did I just give away my age 😁
