Welcome to the wakeboarding world.
You will soon eat, sleep and breathe wakeboarding!
And like everyone else said don't give up if you can't get up or wipe out on your first time. We've all been through it!

Good luck, we are all behind you!

It's only as hard as you let your mind tell you it is. Have fun with it, swallow any fear you have, and just go for it! It's quite an adrenaline rush each time you progress. It's even fun to just cruise the wake, forget the tricks, and enjoy the water and nature. You'll be addicted before you know it, no matter what your skill level.

just remember to not think too much...that will screw you up more than anything! you might get up the first time and then be thinking too much about getting up and you wont get it...you just have to let instinct take over and chill. take it from the other girls, its very addicting...i've been riding for about a year and it NEVER gets old. just go out and have some fun...good luck!
