Getting up wakesurfing?

[thecockerkid]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but i couldnt find any other place.

This summer i hope to wake surf. I was wondering how you get up?

do you just get up like wakeskating accept your really close to the boat then throw in the line?

this has always confused me. ahah

thanks for any help

just get up like a wakeskate. getting up on a wakesurf is actually easier then getting up on a wakeboard

I just recently got to wakesurf for the first time. The guy had what I guess was an official wakesurf rope. It was short and was a thick rope with knots every foot or so. This allowed you to pop up about 5 feet further back than you wanted to be, and then hand over hand pull yourself into the wake. I am no expert since I only have done it once, but it seemed easier if you quickly pulled yourself into the wake before the wave really got established. Those that waited too long struggled to get over the big foam pile. But then again we were all a bunch of noobs.
