What a good teacher! A nautique boat pulled up to my neighbors dock for possible purchase and I was like, what is that?? Never even new this sport existed! It looks like magic riding behind a boat with no rope. AWESOME great instruction, I think I could do it
This is my favorite tutorial! I’ve been working all summer to learn this sport and this tutorial really targets everything’s I’m working on in such a clear way!
Thanks so much Sarah. I'll share your feedback with Sam. Really appreciate it. Hopefully you follow us on Instagram @halflifet.5 to check out other wakesurfing tips, foiling, etc. Send us a picture of you wakesurfing and we'll post it on our Instagram page!
I love this tutorial so much! Most videos are like oh don’t do this... but yours since you actually have someone you are teaching it is a lot more useful! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Amy Plays Soccer! Hopefully you loved it enough to subscribe! We hope you have a great time on the water and please don't hesitate if you have any follow up questions.
Great video. Tiga 20v 10.3 is my sweet spot. Show’d this to my daughter(age 12) volleyball player... not only does she now want to go boating more... she is having me text her friend’s this video to convince them into going out with us. Thanks. Subscribed and watched the commercial.
Hey Todd! You made our weekend. Such a great note. Thank you so much for subscribing. You can also follow us on Instagram @halflifet.5 Please keep us up to date on how your daughter progresses. We'd love to post any vids of you and your family getting after it on our Instagram. Keep in touch!
Thank you for this awesome tutorial! I’ll be sharing this with my son’s girlfriend. She got up on her first try yesterday! Now, I f WE can get to that sweet spot and SURF! 🙂😎
Hi Terri - that is so awesome. Thank you for checking out the video and PLEASE let us know how it goes. I'd love to share any video you get on our Instagram @halflifet.5 If there's anything else we can do - please let us know.
I have gotten up before but I was petting the rope pull me I was basically wake boarding so next time I am going to try to actually let me be in control
CANNOT wait to get up!! Just went out w my bro & sis for the first time. We all had no clue what we were doing. I almost got up but your vid shows me what I did wrong. Your tips are so helpful! Thank you!! Can't wait to try again in a week. Any tips for the driver? Take off speed, etc?
Hi Tiffany! So glad it help you. We can't wait to get some pictures of you ripping it on the wave! Insta: @halflifet.5. Speed -- 11.2 Gentle take off always works best. Steady pressure accelerating from zero to 11.2mph -- watch the ride and adjust as they come out of the water. We do Zoom lessons as well if you're interested just shoot us an email at halflifet.5@gmail.com Cheers, The Half-Life Crew
Nice. That's a wake board (as opposed to surf) optimized boat correct? Do you have on board ballasts? You're going to need additional ballast for that boat to stand up the wave for wake surfing.....either that or get a Wake Foil which will work great on the second wave. Checkout our video on how to set up a wakesurf boat - ua-cam.com/video/KF9FoG5MaMM/v-deo.html. Same will apply to your Nautique. If you can't create a big enough pocket, think about getting a bigger board (volume, maybe length as well).
La taille dépend vraiment de votre poids d'abord, puis de votre capacité. Avez-vous déjà fait du surf? Quel est votre poids approximatif? Apologies if my French is off - I hope it's close. The ideal size to start on depends upon your weight. In general, longer boards are easier to learn on than shorter because they usually have more volume. The Rusty Snaggletooth is a good option. What is your approximate weight? What is your location and are you aware of which wake surf board brands are available in your region? Please let us know and we'll try to make a specific recommendation.
This boat actually kicks a good wake. There were very rough conditions on that day. Mastercraft X23. That said -- if you got a killer wave - we'd love to ride it! Cheers, Tim

Sounds like a great plan! Can't wait to hear how it goes.

@@HALFLIFEVIDEO with my pleasure, from my insta jemaprais :)
@@uatitles Awesome -- I'll look for the pics. :-)
Pretty cool
Thank you Carrie Lynn!
2:50 what is a "swim sep?" (I'm sure I misspelled the phrase)
Swim Step -- the back swim step on the boat.
Great explanation skills! How fast do you typically drive your boat?
Hey Jacob -- Typically 11.2 in the Mastercraft. 10.5 in the Malibu Wakesetter. Anywhere ~9.5-11.5Mph depending upon the boat.
HALF-LIFE thank you! I cannot for the life of me stay in the sweet spot in our boat at 10.0-10.8.
What type of boat is it? Can you point us to any video clips of the wave? Have you tried any additional ballast?
HALF-LIFE 2004 Nautique 210.

Pouvez vous conseiller une taille de planche pour débuter? Merci sinon super vidéo
