I just went out for the first time yesterday and for some reason I cant ride on the right side of the wake. For most of the day I just started out on the left side and didnt think anything of it but when I decided to make it a point to ride on the right side it immediatly felt really wierd and I went back to the left after about 15-20 seconds. Am I just really f'ed uo or is this common?

Yes, most newbies put a little more weight on their heels, and get stuck on a heel side edge. After a few more tries you'll get more comfortable. Then start edging back and forth. Do this by leaning on over your toes for a toeside edge and heels for a heel side edge.

[b]Keep the handle at your front hip[/] and bend your knees. Then slowly lean over your toes and you will be able to turn the other way.
