so its gonna be my first time out on a wakeboard on thursday, im pretty confident on getting up out of the water, but once im up how do i turn/controll the board?
by the way ive skateboarded for about a year and a half and was pretty good at it. will this be similar?

if youve ever snowboarded its kinda like that, but if your left foot forward and you want to turn left get enough support from the rope so you dont fall and put your weight on your heels then push your back forward so the front of your board goes in the direction you want to go in, for turing right put your weight on your toes and push your back foot backwards so once again the front of your board turns the way you want it to.
