Today, i finally got up and was able to stand up on my board. Wakeboarding is so fun!! I have another problem though, any time i fall my life vest rubs up under my arms and it hurts my arm pit, is they're any ways to fix this problem? I already tried wearing a shirt and it still didnt help any. Also, after going up the lake my hand is killing me because of my handle, anyone got any suggestions on handles that wont hurt my hand?

Buy a rash guard
Handle is all what grip you like Liquid Force handle don't hurt your hands

I had that same problem with my vest, now I wear a rash guard all the time, they're thicker than most shirts and more comfortable... so yeah what WCR said, buy a rash guard...

good to hear you got up. rashguard...like they said. but it could also be the lifejacket your wearing. neoprene doesnt seem to rub as much

my vest doesn't rub my armpits but it does other places so I wear a rashguard (plus a rashguard doubles as bikini tie insurance)

as for the handle I have a straightline tractor grip, nice and cushy.

I have a neoprene vest but they still rub... I wear a small. That's as small as they go and it still rubs... I'm pretty skinny though haha... Yeah as for the rope... I just got blisters and they calused over...

What vest do you use? Get a Jetpilot A-10. Great vest!

My neoprene vest doesn't rub at all. I wear it pretty tight though.
