| Yesterday was my second time wakeboarding. I was all over the place, I couldn't keep the board going in a straight line. When I tried using only the front hand holding the tow rope, I had more control. Can anyone give me any suggestions. |

It will feel uncomfortable at first but just jive it some time and it will come.Also try keeping the handle in. _________________ That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9 |

you probably feel more comfortable with only one hand on the rope because that helps you keep your body square to the board, and thus keeping the board straight. you will learn how to ride better with time, though and have no need for this in later times.

maybe your fins are a bit small, if youre new to wakeboarding try to get the biggest ones you can find, they hold you in the water realy nice...
but if ur experienced later on and want to pull off surface 180's, then smaller fins will be much easier than bigger ones.. _________________ Wake Forest University |

behind ur back leg, and straighten ur front leg... it will get that rear fin down in the water better. and turning, stick your head the way you wanna go. _________________ Laugh hard, it's a long way to the bank... |
