Congratulations!!!
I took my 14 year old sister riding for the first time two weeks ago. She has gone three times and has gotten up each time. She is already crossing the wakes (both sides) and working on butterslides. She wants to learn how to ride switch. I wish I would have started riding younger. Kids have no fear!!!

kabucha, congratulations on becoming a wakeboarder! The hard part is over now. Just relax and you will get your balance, it just takes a few tries, then you'll feel comfortable on the board.
If you want you can check out the message boards over at www.wakechicks.com, I'll be posting some trick tips over there shortly.
Later
Tiffany
