lean back but not too far, pull the boat to you and bring you forward foot forward once the boat gets going

no you dont wanna pull at all. let the boat do all the work getting up, you can slide sideways like that forever knees 45 degree angle let the boat pull you totally up then slide your board.

I've never been wakeboarding, but I can't imagine leaning forward would help at all (in getting up outta the water).

i was talking about once he is out of the water and standing. people lean back too far and cant control their board so you have to try to lean forward. but no it doesnt help when trying to get up lol.

lean forward and hold on to the rope as long as possible. if you've face planted you can totally bring it back around and the people on the boat will think you're a pussy if you let go.

It's unreal how much easier it is to get up if you try and come out of the water with the board in a semi-forward stance. I tried 5 times to get up with the board perpendicular to the rope, then I just turned it parallel and popped up my first try.

its not really that hard, just try a few times and you get the hang of it. Its weird at first but its super easy after you do it the first time or two
All times are Eastern (-4)
