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 video got a 50 year old dad bod wake boarding in two tries, every time I started to plow water, I would follow his tip amd trim board back under water and gradually worked my way back to surface. Without this video, it never would have work because I was going to treat it like water skiing which would have been all wrong. Great job on this video!!! Thank you so much!

First time “wake boarder” here… I am in my sixties, and I wanted to give wake board a try with my son ( 14 years old) using our 2021 BRP Sea Doo wake! We didn’t know much about wake boarding so we decided to watch this video that we found here on KZread. 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! Great job Shaun for everything, the advices, the Video montage and the sound is clear… well done!!! 👍👍

The best tip's and learning video ever!!!! Long time ago, I used to water ski. The key then was to have the ski tip outside the water always; with the Wakeboard I tried to do the same. The plow was so hard impossible to resist (I weight 220; strong) never could go out with the wakeboard. Yesturday, in my first try I was out like nothing; so easy, so easy the wing was the key for me!

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'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.

Good tips Shaun. I find it much easier to get up when the board has a chance to plane up to the surface first, versus trying to muscle it up.
