Posted: Mar 09, 2005 12:08 pm Post subject: Getting Back into Boarding |
|
|
For a number of reasons, I haven't wakeboarded more than a handful of times in the last three years. I feel like I'll be back at quare one basically. But with no snow so no snowmobiling, I'm fired up to get back into wakeboarding.
Any tips on getting back into it? I used to ride all the time, but was never any good....AT ALL.
Thanks. |

I'd say the only thing is to just get back on the water and put in as much time as you can getting the feeling back. |

Consistently work in some switch riding on your sets, force yourself to work on the basics rather than just going out and trying to huck inverts. Of course have fun most of all. |
