So I just got the sickest job this summer! I get to teach kids with ranging experience how to wakeboard, Its at a boys athletic camp in Northern Wisconsin, and ill be driving an X9!

So here is my question for those of you who have taught people or anyone who can help me out, and I do know some of the answers because I have been wakeboarding for 5 years, but even if its an obvious suggestion let me know! The more I know the better I can teach people!
What are some common problems that are found with kids, and what to look for:
• Getting up on the wakeboard (from in the water until riding away.)
And tips to tell kids
• Riding stance, if they are rotating on the water ect.
• Tips on turning heel side and toe side
• Cutting
• Jumping, both wake and non- wake
• 180’s preparation and landings
• 360’s “ “
• TOESIDE JUMPS!!!! ( I have a hard time myself, Need info)

Any responses will help a lot, if you can tell me what to look for where to look, and ways to fix it that would be Awesome!

Thanks again,

You might want to get a copy of The Book instructional DVD series. The first two disks have some great detail on pretty much everything you're looking for. Try to duplicate their teaching methods and you should be golden.
