Hey guys...never wakeboarded before need some tips...

Firstly getting up....whats the process

And secondly what can i buy to protect my board ie. cover??

Getting up: set in the water with the top inch or so of your board out of the water, bend your knees, when the boat starts to pull you up tilt your board forward at an angle and it will naturally plane out on the water. dont try to pull yourself up. Then turn your body to where your front foot faces the boat.
You can buy a bag for your board but i have no idea how much they cost

Buy a board bag, they work great if your traveling with you gear alot.
