Behind a Seadoo

Hey, I was wondering if it would be fine to wakeboard behind a sea doo.

yeah, but wakeSKATING is better behind a seadoo than wakeboarding. all you will be able to do is surface and ollie tricks.

I have a 2005 seadoo that i wakeboard behind and it works fine. it might be a little more difficult to get air since the wake is smaller than behind a boat...but it still works for me.

are worried about having enough power or something cause they defenitly have enough power but the wake is pretty small

You will not have any problems. I have a Sea-Doo RXP that I learned wakeboarding on and still ride behind. The wake is approximately 8 inches high completely washed out. The defined part of the wake is only stretches 20 feet behind the jetski so there is no way to hit it.

Deep water start behind a jetski is going to be different than with a boat. Remember the jetski accelerates a lot quicker so don't punch the throttle like you would in a boat. Instead, give the rider a slow pull but make sure you accelerate to up to speed.

i get pulled behind a Sea-Doo Wake Edition. wake is good for small stuff but would be hesitant on any advanced tricks. it is fun to get pulled on though.

I ride (and learned) behind a Kawasaki STX-15f, a 3-seater, with 150hp. I think it's a little harder to learn than a boat, because you're being pulled straight forward instead of up, like from a pylon or tower. It's great for learning the basics, though, and when you run into some friends on the water, you'll at least not make a *complete* fool of yourself, because you'll be able to get up and ride your board.

I ride behind a honda aqautrax f-12, 3 seater, and 170hp. The wake is clean and is big enough for me to get 3-3.5ft of air w2w. Perfect for learning the basics and easier tricks like 180's and such. You should be fine behind one but like WakeFrog1970 said, be prepared to buy a skate.
