After plowing for two days and not getting up, I was ready to give up. Resorting to this video made all the difference. I immediately got up the next time I tried. After that again and again, the wake board launch was no longer an issue. Thank you for your great advice Shaun! What a fun sport!

This is my new go to video to make people watch before going out. I've had a hard time explaining the "wing" concept to new riders. I can usually get lighter riders and girls up pretty easy, but it's the bigger, stronger guys that struggle trying to muscle it up. I finally tried this slow start method to get the board under him before accelerating and was able to get it to click for him.

These instructional videos are absolutely golden! We should be paying you to make these! I like how you give the dry-land instruction with the small video inserts, and the same instructions from the water perspective. There is nothing else like this video on the web. Well done! I've had a few people try and try to get up on a wakeboard without success, even after I exhausted all of my tips. Once you get up, it's mind-blowing how easy it is. Some people just can't get the concept of letting the board be like a wing. It's so frustrating because I just want them to experience the fun too! The thought and quality of your video is ridic. Your video even shows the board under water with the proper angle! Nice! I'll be showing this video to any new riders from now on.

We didn’t know much about wake boarding so we decided to watch this video that we found here on KZbin. Well, believe it or not but we applied the advices Shaun is showing in this Video and we just love the experience… we both were up and running on the board in a snap! Shaun is really a good coach and his explanations are right to the point! If newcomers to the sport don’t want to loose time and energy trying over and over without much success, I really recommend watching this video!

We were out at the lake today and two families were trying to wake board for the first time. I have always been a skier, never tried a wake board. They asked if we knew what to do. So I went to the camper, got my iPad, found your video, walked out in the water to the wake boarder, told him to watch, and away he went, along with every other member of their family. I did not know them, but I could tell they had never even seen a wake boarder (?) so I figured this had to help. They now have one happy family. From age 12 to 16

I haven't tried wakeboarding since going on my friend's family's boat as a kid. I was athletic, but I NEVER got up because I must have been pushing too hard against the board (it was vertical) and the rope would eventually yank me forward and out of my hands like my shoulder was about to pop out (basically the opposite of your tips in the vid😅). I can't wait to go to this cable wakeboarding place down the road tomorrow and give it a go. I love snowboarding and seeing you shred a bit at the end made me even more excited.

Perfect tips! I've always found that demonstrating these elements to a beginner before they put the board on really helps too. I get them sitting in the water, feet on the edge of the platform, then pass them the handle. This way, you can pull them out of the water with the handle, and they will see for themselves when they stay in a ball you can pull them up with two fingers. I then get them to straighten their legs and demonstrate how immensely this increases the force on the handle.

Years ago I took the advice here and spent a whole weekend not getting up. Finally scrapped that and just stayed in basically a sitting position and got right up. Have subsequently helped dozens of people get up for the first time and most of them struggled mightily if they were getting anywhere near sitting on the board at any point. They all lose their balance and go over, get pulled over the front, or plow the lake/river. When I instruct them to stay in the sitting position it really seems to clear things up and people don't lose their balance.

I use this video all the time when I’m teaching someone to wakeboard. I have an idea though. Once in a while, I have someone who just can’t stay up for more than a few seconds. I just made a massive fin from a surfboard and cut it trimmed it, drilled and tapped it to fit on a wakeboard. I’m hoping it will work kind of like training wheels. If My idea turns out to be helpful. Maybe hyperlite should make a big, massive rear fin just to help people learn.

Thanks man, the plowing matter ... got that now and is also a safety matter, when I kept hanging too much and the power overwhelmed (hence too much power also) my fingers got jammed between the handle and the board big time. So, when using the board as a wing and keep the line clear away off the board and glide up like a wing, got up with normal stress on the body. After a few runs, knowing the body / feet position that works (safely), then more accelaration helped also. Thanks man. Still much to learn but that is what it makes fun for this 48 year dude.

This was a great video, thanks! Especially the part about it being a wing instead of a plow, that was the key for my daughter. Thanks for the driver tips as well, super helpful.

I tried it a couple of times before watching a tutorial. I had my knees flared outwards and was really fighting the water and was really unsure where to keep my arms while waiting for the pull, slightly cut them up on the wrist cause I was holding them stretched on the edge of the board. Gonna try this compression. Thank you

@@Shaun.Murray Okay so I have tried it, and I managed to get out of the water about twice, and once I was basically on it, but I instinctively pulled the rope towards me and after that I instantly fell off. Next time I will hopefully manage it. Again, great tutorial, thanks.

For me the easiest way to get up is when the boat starts moving slowly and u start to be getting pulled lift your left foot up out of the water and put your right foot down more into the water. After that it pulls you right up without you having to do anything. After that you will be going and up but squatting so the trick for me is to stand up but kinda slowly and keep my knees bent. This is the best way to do it for me and when I tried wakeboarding for the first time my dad told me this and I got it second try so it’s pretty easy

Def another way you can do it. Some people struggle with that because you have to have pretty good balance to keep it directly underneath you when pointing it straight. I find going sideways allows a bigger platform to balance on and let's people learn the pull of the rope and connection to the board with greater ease. BUT for sure do what's best/easiest for you
