When you are doing a deepwater start just sit in the water and keep the wakeboard in front of you. Bend your knees and make sure the driver knows to start slowly. Let the boat pull you up, dont force it, when you start to get pulled dont try to stand up untill your knees hit your chest then the fins should do the work to straigten you out. Remember, its just like somebody grabbing your hand and helping you off the ground. Dont try to muscle everything around, it will just cause problems.

Once you're up you should probably go anywhere from 18 to 24 mph. Try little tricks at first like ollies, carving, and just staying up and staying balanced. Once you have that down you should try to jump over 1 wake, and after you have that dialed try to throw a grab in there. Try some ollie 180's and butterslides(grind the wake.)

pm me if you need more help with anything

Good Luck!!!
