Hi there. I'm EXTREMELY interested in starting to wakeboard... although none of my friends are into it except for one but I can't really be with him. I was just wondering if anyone on here had any ideas how I could get into it. The water, the boat... no problem. The equipment... the experianced person... big problem. LOL! If you have any ideas, please leave me a post or a message. Thanx a bunch!!! Mr. Green

maybe go to a camp or something. u probably need to find someone to pull u too. w/o a boat, ur just a stoner on land. u don't need ur own board, but it's good if u do b/c then u can get used to it and u'll get better quicker b/c u don't have to readjust to other ppls boards.

if you got a boat and someone to drive you your halfway there, just get a board and ride. once you you've done it a few times then maybe try some type of instruction; videos, friends, or try a camp. If you try it first then you will understand the instruction better. good luck

You're screwed without a crew to go with, unless you live near a cable or something.

You might con someone to drive for you, but they will soon get bored if they aren't riding themselfs.

use the 'find a pull section', maybe you can hook up with someone from the site, just remember the golden rule - the new guy has to bring:

gas $$
food
beer
chicks.

No exceptions Very Happy

Good luck, you have chosen an awesome sport.

get higher education or detention videos... it'll help you progress easier and faster

I'd say the best way to start off would be to get someone to let you use their board and try to teach yourself to get up... I didn't have anyone to teach me and I got up first try...
