    defix9 is the biggest retard (NO ONE LISTEN TO HIM)
    if he listened the guy actually says; the boat will pull you up and you should then put all your weight on top of the board and keep your heels down and toes up which means he is implying to lean back,. stupid fck
    btw everyone that says this is a vid doesnt know how to wakeboard and probs neva have so watch this and listen for 100% gurantee on how to get up..

  2. Defix9 Said,

    hes right, you …
    hes right, you prettty much do nothing. but he is an idiot at the same time. you dont lean on top of your board! you will catch with your toeside and flip if you have never wakeboared before!!! you fkn lean back with your knees on your chest, the boat brings you up

    I know right, i think people try and look into it too much when really you should just stand up when it feels natural.

    The way i get up is weird, i start normally and as i get pulled, it starts to feel really unnatural and like im going to fall, but as soon as it starts to tug i literally just stand up and its easy…

    there’s a much easier way to get up than how he’s saying to do it. As soon as u feel the tug from the boat turn the board sideways and let the boat pull u out. U’ll be out of the water in literally 2 seconds.

    we always jump from the side the boat accelerates and your off

    this method is good even with center fins because they let you know when you can twist. And you guys are the one watching this video “how to get up on a wakeboard” so why watch this video if you already know how? I myself just like this guys videos and wanted to see if he did it a different way them me which he doesnt.

    this positon its the hardes specially with boards with center fins, i tried this method and is harder than your normal up and twist

  17. enygma500 Said,

    This method is crap …
    This method is crap. Most beginners aren’t starting on a board with molded outer fins and they’ll usually have 2.5″ center fins and no other fins. That means that staying in a ball in impossable.

    When you have those center fins you have to turn and stand at the same time. Too early and you flip over forwards, too late and the handle’s gonna rip outta your hands.

    Absolutely, I just got a wakeboard and haven’t even been behind a boat yet and got up behind the jet ski
