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!
Handle still, compress and let the board fly like a wing, brilliant, thanks Shaun!
Love this Koen! For reals means a lot to me so thanks for sharing!
@@koenjansen2264 Zackly!
Same experience here!
hah it took my cousin a year in a half to get up
Struggled for 45 minutes over Memorial Day while getting yelled tips from five people on the boat, nothing. One view of your tutorial over this 4th of July weekend, up first try. You're a miracle worker, thank you.
Love to hear this! Not the struggling part but the victory! And in the 4th of July!
“That’s my boat” love it!!!!!!!!! Haha thanks for the great video
Forrest Gump ✌️
best tutorial, i've been trying to wake board for a year. i tried getting up at least 15 different times but after watching this video as soon as i got out there i got up right away and rode for a few minutes
Love to hear this FalconFire!
4 years of attempting to wake surf behind a jetski. And was told that it will not work and will need a decent wake boat. I followed this technique and i was wake surfing in under 30mins behind a gtx 300. Thank you thank you Shawn for this very easy and informative tutorial.
Love to hear this Von!
Brother I can’t say enough how grateful I am for this video. I’m 35 always had a dream to wake board then I got my chance and of course it was a disaster but… I watched your video went out the next week told my buddy to go slow so I could apply what you taught lol popped up first try now it’s all I think about. Your info and love for what you do is just awesome much love from Ft worth Tx! Prob gonna get Rusty’s board though!
First day wakeboarding, couldn’t get up and go more than 10 feet. Watched this video that evening. Next day, ripping like I’ve been doing this since I was 5 years old! Great instruction!
Love to hear this Derrick!
Seriously!!!!! Hands down the best tutorial/tips for first timers. This 41 year was up on my second attempt after 20+ years of saying "NO" because my first experience was so darn painful. Shaun, you made my weekend memorable.
Great to hear STL! Assuming you're in or near St Louis. Lived on Lake St Louis for a while growing up!

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.
Love to hear that a bunch more people will be able to enjoy some time behind the boat Matt!
Shaun, I just wanted to let you know that I showed this video to both my 7 yr old son and 10 yr old daughter. Both of them popped right up out of the water after about two or three tries and both both had f them are doing great! The driver tips were also very helpful to me. We are now workin and the next videos of fundamentals. Thank you
Love this great feedback Jason!tell your kids I said wassup and Enjoy your ride! ✌🏽
I love that, as an expert, you also like to help beginners. 😊
Happy to help people get stoked!
Shaun!!! After all the chaos with travel restrictions and the like in Australia, I finally got home to see my family last weekend and hit up the lake for a ski/board! I have to thank you soooo much because of all your vids I've watched over the last few weeks. My riding was so much more stable and confident and I just had so much fun. I almost made my first wake to wake! Thanks to you I know the last steps I need to take (fundamentals video) to get there :)
Anyway, Im heading out again this Sat and Sunday, and I'm soooo bloody pumped!! Thank you for getting me keen, helping me learn and just being a top dude. Love your work
Matthew! This is amazing! Love the great feedback! Enjoy your ride! ✌️
Watched this video after a day's worth of frustration and wow. Everybody was able to get as instructed. Even as the driver super helpful. Thank you thank you thank you
Love to hear this more than you know KM 👊🏼
Thanks so much Shaun for what you do! I am 38 and tried boarding for the first time this summer, with only doing some watersports back in high school. Thanks to your video(s) I was able to get up on the first time out! And I only have a regular bowrider inboard/outboard boat with no tower so I was hesitant on even trying. Went a couple more times before end of the season and was able to ride and go outside of the wake so I am really looking forward to next season to keep going and will be watching your content for sure! Enjoy the ride man!
Great to hear Paul! Thanks for stopping by!
Great tips! will use this on my boat charter today in Lake Tahoe.
Dude, Watched this video and got up first try and 4/5 thereafter. Your the man and thank you for the tips
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!
So much more pressure on the line and board if you're plowing so for sure way harder if you try to plow up. Great to hear John!
Worked the first time I tried! Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏 Really transcended my getting up from a lot of pain and frustration to a no biggie! Also your transition instruction worked the first time. Never been riding goofy before today. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos!
All the best from Copenhagen Denmark!
Thanks Jesper! And thanks for watching all the way over there! I rode in Denmark years ago with my friend Niels and and his crew over there!
Pure gold! Thank you Murray for sharing your wisdom 🤓🙌
Dream Team! Thanks for watching, and for your golden comment...DM me on insta and I'll ship you a pair of Gold Sunnies 😎 (If you're in the U.S. 😉 )
This really simplifies what i have been teaching. Great stuff! Can't wait till next season to teach more kids and to see how much faster they learn. Thanks again for sharing
Great to hear Matt!
Thanks for the video. Makes a lot of sense now.
This vid is exactly what I needed! I don't have any problem doing waterstart's in the parks but I have been struggling when I use a waverunner. My arms feel like its about to fall when I try to get up.
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. This typically happens for me on occasion when I’m not trying too hard. Definitely will be incorporating this for myself and when helping my granddaughter on her board.
Yes! Love it TR! Enjoy your ride w your granddaughter! ✌️
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. Thanks for being inspirational and giving focus!
Awesome feedback Martijn!
Hey man I just started wakeboarding for the first time in my life.
I followed your steps word by word and I was able to get up on the board at the first attempt.
Thank you so much
Love it! Welcome to the sport Shamon 👊🏼
I've been on the boat with you here in Knoxville and every single person you taught got up the first time! Dollar Bill works!!
Yessur!!
Best video I saw on youtube about the water start.. Went second time wakeboarding yesterday and followed his instructions. took me 2 attempts to get finalle up and ride like a king (-: highly recommended!!!
Thanks for the recommendation Christian and congrats!
This video was extremely helpful! The quality of the video, the initial tutorial on land and then on the water was perfect! There are a lot of things on the internet and on UA-cam, but no wakeboarding lesson video like this exists on the internet! Thank You!
Great feedback! Thanks!😞
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!
Love to hear that Alfonso! ✌️
Thank you! I have been practicing but I often fall forward. I will try these tips.
I'm sending this to so many people. Awesome video, Shaun! Thank you
Love it Bruno!
Love it!!! I like your way, how you explain it sounds easy
Thank you Shaun
Awesome video. I was struggling to get up after about 15 years away from wakeboarding (and a recent full hip replacement). The "treat the board like a foil not a plow" really made it easy to get up again. Also, my wife got up on her 2nd attempt and she has never done any board sports until now. Cheers!
This is so awesome to hear Partytime!
Excellently done👍
Awesome!
Hey Shaun just wanted to say a massive thanks. Before watching your video I spent my first day plowing and straining my back... Didn't get up a single time and actually thought I'd broken my finger having it ripped into the board.
After watching this video, and keeping in mind that "it's a wing, not a plow", I got up first try, and ended up doing a 6 minute run using your principals. Wakeboarding was an incredible experience and absolutely a highlight of my vacation.
Just felt you should know your video creates a LOT more joy than you may be aware of. Thank you so much again for sharing your excellent and crucial knowledge, sir!
Love to hear this Sam! Happy to share and thanks for watching!
3 simple things to remember and it really works. Thank you!
Love to hear it Tim!
I look forward to trying this!
Lemme know how it goes 🤙🏼
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.
Great technique Brett! Thanks for sharing!
just watched it because im going wakeboarding next month. thanks shaun for taking the time putting up this tutorial. it was easy to understand. i really appreciate it.
Love it! Let me know how it goes and if you have more questions in the future!
Thx for the tips. Just learning myself.
Right on Michael!
This helped so much! I had lost weight, worked out, but kept plowing, and couldn’t get up. I figured I had lost it and couldn’t do it anymore. (Haven’t wake boarded for a long time). The roll forward and letting the board fly underwater tip is so simple but brilliant. Also the driver not having to hammer down to get the wake boarder up was pleasant surprise as well. Thank you!
Love to hear it Snakebird! Tell your friends!
That was super helpful! I struggeled so much with getting up before, but after watching this i got up on the second try!
Great to hear OM!
this help me so much to understand how to play wakeboard as a beginner thanks to you🙏🙏🙏
Love to hear this Bow! 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼
Excellent information.
Thanks Shaun! Because of this video I am waking with my family! So happy
Love to hear this Rob!
Hey Shaun i have been trying for so long to get up on a wakeboard and last night after trying and failing again and came home and watched this video, this morning I got up on the 4th try!! Thank you so much
Right on Jack!
Spent a whole day plowing not getting anywhere, then I found the maestro here, watched this video and got up 1st try and every try after that no sweat! You're the man!!!
Love it Aaron!
I haven't wakeboarded in 15 years, was having trouble getting up, was fighting it etc, after watching the video, got up 2nd try and been shredding the lake ever since. Great tips that actually worked! Thanks
Love hearing this Todd!
Well done, Shaun. You make this look so easy.
You can too Tilly!
Thanks 4 this lesson. 🤙🏻
For sure Piotrek!
Thanks a lot saw your video and the second time I tried I did it.👍
Yessir!
Excellent 🤛
Amazing, thanks for this
My pleasure Carramrod!
I’m 43 yrs old 6’3 295lbs and this video help me so much. I got up the first time then had a 2 minute and 49 seconds run on the second time out. So thank you for what you do because even bigger guys get up easy.
Love to hear this Coach Gil! You on a bigger board? At least a 150 in my opinion
I'm 50+ and enjoy all kinds of fun adrenaline activities like this. I had opportunity to wakeboard yesterday and did not go well getting up. I UA-cam'd how to get up and found this. On 2nd attempt going slow like he does in vid and with Wing technique he shares, I got up!! Thank You!! ✌️😀
Love to hear this Charly!!!
Dude. The more I watch you the cooler you get. Thank you.
Can’t thank you enough man! Parents have been wakeboarding for years and were trying to explain how to get up but it wasn’t clicking. Now I’m up and after recently watching your Ollie vid I’m starting to wow them.
Yes! Love to hear this Sigs👊🏽
So easy to follow. Great video Shaun.
Thanks for watching Gavin! ✌️
Great video Showed this video to my son he got up right after!
Love to hear it hotrod!
So I literally just went out on the lake, with people who have been boarding for years, and they legit would smash the throttle down and say if you can't get up within at least a few seconds you'll never get up. Had I been able to do this I'm sure the trip would have been more enjoyable and I probably wouldn't be in so much pain right now
I hear this too often and people will spend so much energy trying to plow up on top of the water. Can cause injury too bc it's so much pressure on the board and rope
Thank you so much !!!!!!
Finally a video that slowly shows how to get up
Awesome. This video was a huge help. Thank you!
🤜🏽💥🤛🏽
Best vid I've seen on how to get up!! Thank you sir!
Thanks for that Cap!
Well this was very help after 2 people( coworkers) how to wake board...I failed...but has me wanting to try it again I had fun, but I'm so sore 😂😂
Thank you.. Thank you.. Thank you!!!
I bought an x-10 last year and learned how to wake board with my son using this technique and it has been awsome. I can't tell you how many people I have taught to wake board or at least to get up using this technique. It's difficult for most people to understand but once I demonstrate it they get right up. I even got my 69 year old father to get up in just a couple tries. Thanks a ton!
Love it! 👊🏼
Hey Shaun i love ur video. I was in maldives and wanted to try out but these guys are like i should first take the lesson and it was on my last day and there wasn't enough time to do. So now i'm back home and this is on my bucket list i though why not check the tutorial video and found urs. U make it look so easy and the way u explain and demo i feel like i can already go ahead and stand😀jokes apart i think no one can teach better than u. Thanks a ton for recording and uploading the video for people like me.... i will go ahead and check out more of ur videos..... cheers
You got this Priscilla! Thanks for watching!
Very useful!
Great video! I shouls send this to all our newbies before comming on our boat.
Send it!
Great video
Board as a Wing not as a Plow made all the difference in the world. older people who couldn't get up, now pop up easily even when being pulled from a lowly Sea-Doo Spark. not much power needed now, on the boat, and mostly on your back. THANK YOU!!
Love to hear this Cesar!
I'm 50 years old and my boys and I went to OWC a couple weeks ago while on a Disney trip with and we all were easily able to get off the dock on the standard cable and fast cable with the standard rental boards (with fins). Got slider boards and had fun on the standard cable hitting the features. Best part of my vacation!! Back to Houston, found my local cable park, and can't get off the dock -- feels very fast. Love to see one of your instructional videos on getting off the dock - (whether sitting or standing) whatever you recommend for an old duffer about 5' 11", 200 lbs.
Awesome to hear you had a good experience initially and know the potential for more fun. Interesting/bummer that you had a tougher time in Houston. Could be faster, smaller board, or some other factor. I'll add the cable dock start idea to my list so thanks for the input Randall!
Thanks for the tips
You bet
Awesome video man. Thanks!
Thanks for watching Freddy!
Sooo helpful. Tried yesterday and placed the board like a ski. Broke the first rule.
Thanks for watching Pamela!
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 UA-cam.
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!!!
👍👍
Damien, what a great review and recommendation! Thanks for watching and taking the time to encourage others!
This was a huge help! Thank you Shaun 🤙
Awesome to hear MrC🤙🏽
Thanks to your video I was able to learn how to wakeboard. Thank you so much for this manual!! 😁💪
👊🏼
Dude! I’ll try this soon and I’ll come back and let you know how it goes!
Excellent. I found learning to water ski easier in the Shark infested waters of Australia’s north, meaning I wanted to get my arse out of that water quicker.
#Motivation
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.
Glad it helped!
49yr old novice wakeboarder. I could get up, but such a physical effort. Not to mention eating half the lake in the process. Tried this technique after a particularly poor session having not wakeboarded for 10 months. Immediate success, effortless launch, little physical effort required. Great instructional. Many thanks.
Love to hear this so much! More than you know! Thanks for the great feedback and pass it on if you'd like so more people can save the energy and enjoy their ride! ✌️ Thanks again!
A day later had success with your video on how to do an Ollie...only one faceplant 😂. Thanks again.
Your balance is pretty amazing. This really helped my family thank you
Thanks Shady! And great to hear your fam is on the water
Fantastic video! 🙌💪
Thanks!!!
Awesome video, I am not getting up easily each go without the muscle plain I was getting plowing my way out!
Give'r a go Chris!
Man iv literally been doing every common mistake you said. I cant wait to go out this season. Thanks for this
Enjoy your ride! ✌️
I wish I could find a spot on my lake as smooth and calm as what you show in your video
Yo shaun i am on patmos Greece and iannis a local dude here gave me a lesson and i was able to get up on my First Session.
