ok imagine you are sitting on the ground, and you ask one of your friends to help you get up. They would grab on to your hands and pull you up... right? Getting up on a wakeboard is JUST like that. You let the boat do the work. Also don't try to stand up fast either...you can even ride in a squatted position, so just make sure you wait to stand up. GOOD LUCK! Welcome to the sport!
