i'm finding it hard to build up enough strain on the line when coming in on my approach. how do i improve this? also how far out should i be edging away, at the moment i try to go as far as possible. is that wrong? thanks Very Happy

Step 1 in "loading the line": Go to the Newbie forum, or Trick Tips.

This forum is for posting pictures of your gear and wake related liscense tags.

You can put fishing weights on it, that will increase the load.

Yes, without fundamentals you've got nothing but a cool looking board and close toed boots. Hopefully after watching the video you can see that technique is about 97% of wakeboarding.
