I'd reccomend "The Book" search on the internet for it.

Try www.buywake.com www.boardstop.com or www.wakeside.com

If you have an eBay account you could check there as well.

ryguy5211, Welcome to wb.com There's an entire newbie question section that might provide you with some good info. Make sure you check it out.

In the meantime, I agree with Brian B. There are a few good instructional videos out but The Book seems to be universally agreed upon as one of the best if not the best instructional series. I have the entire wakeskate series. Its kind of dry but Aaron Reed breaks it down and the graphics and animations help you understand what the rider is doing during the skating footage. They start from the most basic (getting up) to the most advanced tricks and everything in between.

I'm sure the wakeboard series is very similar.

RC, dont get me wrong, I wasnt trying to be mean, but promoting a "fabulous lifestyle of wealth and bliss" seems pretty stuck up to me. and i hate those kind of people.
