Is the Higher Education 1 video the best instruction CD that we can purchase for beginning wakeboarders?

Most instructional videos say all the same stuff for beginning, like getting up. I have heard that Higher Education does the job though.

Get Murray's Detention. Shows the basic tricks really well, more advanced ones were hard to follow. Was worth the money.

I have both and I like HD better for instuction. Detention is better for watching wakeboarding.

I've seen both and I would say Higher Education because it can take you from getting up all the way to 7's and mobes. Also, Higher Education cuts down to business and gives you what you need to know, whereas Detention has some funny stuff mixed in for entertainment value. It just depends on your preference between those two.

detentions really entertaining though...the classroom scenes are pretty cool..i learned a little but they didnt go into much detail as you got up past gettin up.

If you get Higher Education, make sure to get both part 1 and part 2. Haven't seen detentions, but I've heard great reviews. 1 piece of advice... A good rope is well worth the investment!

We have sold a large number of both DVDs.. However Higher Ed has sold the most copies..

There is a new Wake instructional that is coming out within the next few weeks called Waketrix.. If you can hold out I would wait and see how this new DVD looks..

We should start pre-booking this DVD very soon and we will also have a HUGE promotional contest that will run along with the release..

Look for it..

yeh a good non-stretch rope helps a lot, my handle isn't bad either its got the smaller handle up the rope for wrap 360's its pretty good for learning 360s lets you get the feel of it beofre you go for the handle pass.
