How to Start Wakesurfing By Southern Boats on Water Sports This article will teach you how to get up, find that spot, and surf right! Once you master this part, you can begin learning tricks and eventually become sponsered! Difficulty: Moderately Easy Instructions Things You'll Need: Boat with an inboard motor. Wakesurf board Rope with handle (preferably a surf rope) Rope catcher Driver Step 1 Have your feet on top of the board (boart sideways to the boat) while you lay in the water (feet pointing towards boat with body behind). Have the rope tied to the highest spot on the boat nd have the rope in hand ready to go. Step 2 The diver then needs to put the boat in gear and slowly power up to about 5 miles and hour. During this time the rider needs to use his/her feet (or hand) to push the side of the board vertically up so that it builds water resistance. Step 3 When the board is building the water resistance, use that resistance and the rope to pull the top of your body to the position of standing ontop of the board and the water. In this time you should also turn the board to point towards the boat. Step 4 The boat at this point should power up to the speed of the maximum wake size (probably between 9 and 15). The rider should pull more of the rope towards them pulling his/herself toward the boat. Step 5 Once you get to about a foot or two from the boat you should be in the area of the "sweet spot" where your board will get its push. If you feel that you are going too fast put weight on the back of the board, yet if you feel you are going to slow, put weight on the front of the board. Step 6 Once you get to a spot that you are riding the swell, throw the rpe to the rope catcher. If you start to move back remember to put weight forward, and vice versa. If you feel that you are going back too fast and cant go back forward, have the rope catcher throw you the rope so you can keep going. Comments
