I really want to learn how to wakeboard and i dont know anyone who knows how, i live in Pennsylvania and really close to raystown lake and i would really appreciate it if someone could teach me, it looks hard, n=but im up for the challenge!!!

By far the most helpful thing to my learning was watching videos. Look them up on youtube and I also purchased Shaun Murray's Detention dvd. Do you have a boat or access to one? You need to watch some tutorials about getting up and carving before you do anything though

I agree with what hyperlite said about watching videos. The Book is the best set and what really taught me how to wakeboard.

Good luck brah!

okay i'll do that, thanks for the suggestions.

definitely watch an instructional on how to get up before you go, especially if no one on the boat knows how. I can't tell you how much it helps to have a clear picture in your head before you try....leads to A LOT LESS trial and error. Good luck, it's an awesome sport!

Go to a wakeboard camp or just take some lessons before you develop too many bad habits. It'll pay back in the end.

A few lessons are worth every penny. Most people figure out how to ride by themselves and want to help others out but they make the worst coaches for first timers. A couple lessons will really help you get a strong grip on the basics and give you the love for the sport.
I had my friends teach me and lost a couple seasons trying to teach myself with out much success. I've just gone to my second lesson and have progressed further in the last two weeks than I did in the previous to years.

Once you get comfortable behind the boat and find a little air you won't want to do anything else.
